BAAHUBALI 2 FULL MOVIE STREAMING - FULL HD
Shiva grows up to be a strong and curious boy who longs to see what surprises the world holds. He's ready to risk his life in an endeavor to climb up the waterfall and look, but keeps failing. His mother, perturbed by his insistence, plans to appease the Lord Shiva by pledging an "abhisheka" (cleansing the Shiva's statue - Shiva Linga with water) 100 pots of water that she'll carry from the waterfall. Shiva pleads her to stop, but when she doesn't, he (literally) takes matters into his own hands and uproots the Shiva Linga (a mighty task, known to be done by only Nandi - Shiva's utmost devotee) and plants it right under the Waterfall. It appears that he (instead of his mother) has the Lord's blessings, as a mask falls down the waterfall and intrigues him further.
Shiva happens to put down the mask in sand and it seems to belong to a lady. Having gotten an indication of people living up the mountain, he tries with all his heart (imagining himself to be chasing a beautiful girl), succeeds in climbing up the mountain (amid stunning visuals and thrilling stunts). There he encounters a beautiful girl, who turns out to be an assassin pledged to avenge and free their clan's queen who has been imprisoned in the midst of Mahishmati Kingdom (the most powerful kingdom their side of the world). The movie stutters between some romantic, funny and intense sequences and ends up saving the girl from an army unit belonging to Mahishmati. Shiva makes the girl stay and pledges to free her queen, if that's what it takes for them to be together and leaves.
Mahishmati Kingdom is shown to be full of horrors, where citizens are ill treated and downtrodden. Shiva enters the kingdom and manages to free the queen (Devasena), but is caught by the Prince and his army unit. He has to escape before Katappa - the feared warrior who is close on their heels, reaches to protect the prince and take them back. The Prince insults Devasena and antagonizes Shiva. Shiva breaks free owing to his raw power and almost kills the Prince, but Katappa reaches and tries to save him. Shiva somehow manages to still be-head the Prince and Kattappa tries to kill Shiva. Upon seeing Shiva's face properly, he drops his weapon, falls down on his knees and kisses Shiva's feet while calling him Baahubali.
Meanwhile, Shiva's tribe have been searching for him for many days and realize he has finally climbed up the mountain. They re-open the tunnel and go up. On the other side, Shiva's Girlfriend (Avanthika) brings along her own army. Both these groups chance upon Shiva killing the Prince. When they see Kattappa bowing down to Shiva, they exchange stories and it turns out Shiva is none other than the rightful heir to the Throne of Mahishmati, son of King Baahubali. Bhallala Deva had assasinated Baahubali and tried to kill Shiva, but Sivagami (the lady who saved the newborn Shiva, even though she drowned in the attempt) saved him and went down the tunnel.
Shiva wants to know the full story, and the story shifts to the erstwhile Mahishmati kingdom, where we find out that a long time ago, the just king died leaving behind a pregnant queen. The queen dies during childbirth and the newborn's aunt (Rajamata Sivagami) names him Baahubali. The dead Kings jealous brother (Bijjala Deva) craves to take over the throne but isn't able to as his wife Sivagami is more able and just. Sivagami pronounces that her own child (Bhallala Deva) and Baahubali have equal claim to the throne and the one who proves himself worthy shall inherit it. Both Bhalla and Baahu grow up to be fierce, powerful, wise and mighty warriors under the tutelage of Kattappa (the royal bodyguard and head of the army, but sworn to serve whomsoever is the king). Bhalla inherits jealousy from his father, unbeknownst to both Baahubali and Sivagami.
A Spy steals the kingdom's military secrets and gets out. The princes catch hold of him, but not before he manages to sell the information to Kalakeya's (fearsome raiders with an army four times Mahishmati's forces and a king known to be as fierce as despicable). Sivagami pronounces that this would be the ideal test to figure out the king to the throne. As the Kalakeya King has insulted her, she wants the princes to kill him and will declare the one who succeeds as the King to the Throne. Amid a spectacular battle sequence, Baahubali tends to overpower Kalakeya, but Bhallala Deva kills him (sort of interrupts Baahubali who was the one who actually beats Kalakeya). Baahubali, being just doesn't mind this and seems happy for his brother, but Sivagami pronounces Baahubali as the king, having seen his superior strategy, battle skills, bravado and willingness to think of his subjects first.
Theater director Sean Foley's debut feature is a starry comic romp about a washed-up actor trying to relive his glory days.
Comedy brings together some unlikely bedfellows, as this debut feature by award-winning theater director Sean Foley proves. World premiering at the London Film Festival this week, Mindhorn boasts Ridley Scott and Steve Coogan among its executive producers. Coogan also plays a supporting role, while Kenneth Branagh and Simon Callow, who have both worked with Foley on stage, make brief cameos as themselves. But this agreeably absurd farce is primarily a vehicle for its co-writers and co-stars, Julian Barratt and Simon Farnaby, who have a long shared history, most notably on BBC television's surreal cult sitcom The Mighty Boosh.
Conveniently set on the Isle of Man, a popular shooting location thanks to its film-friendly tax incentives, Mindhorn stars Barratt as Richard Thorncroft, an actor who enjoyed brief fame in the 1980s playing a TV detective who fights criminals with a bionic eyepatch that can literally "see the truth." Think David Hasselhoff circa Knight Rider, but with an English accent and a Tom Selleck moustache. Brits will enjoy more local reference points, chiefly the vintage Jersey-set cop series Bergerac. Foley directs with a light and snappy touch, even when the jokes become strained. StudioCanal's U.K. release next spring should generate healthy numbers domestically, although the in-jokey British humor may prove a tougher sell internationally.
An arrogant, boozy womanizer at the peak of his fame, Thorncroft threw his TV career away with a hubristic bid for Hollywood success that went nowhere. Fast-forward 25 years and he is now a paunchy, balding, increasingly desperate washed-up actor living in poverty in London. Adding insult to injury, his glamorous ex-girlfriend and Mindhorn co-star Patricia Deville (Essie Davis) is now a highly successful TV reporter on the Isle of Man, and happily married to Thorncroft's former stunt double Clive Parnevik (Farnaby). Another minor character from the show, played by Coogan, has also built a business empire on the back of his own long-running spinoff series.
But fate hands Thorncroft a bizarre chance at redemption when a mentally unbalanced fugitive killer on the Isle of Man, Melly (Russell Tovey), contacts police officer DC Baines (Andrea Riseborough) and demands to negotiate with Mindhorn himself. Obsessed with the TV show since childhood, Melly has come to believe the fictional detective is real, and can help prove his innocence. Thorncroft arrives on the island in high spirits, hoping to boost his profile and rekindle his relationship with Patricia. Inevitably, his plans unravel as ancient grievances, bad habits and murderous subplots muddy the waters.
The first act of Mindhorn bounces along on the sheer silliness of its inspired premise, which feels like Galaxy Quest with an extra shot of English beta-male tragicomedy. But around the midway point, the script starts to flag a little, like a great satirical skit overstretched to feature length. Initially a spoof of clunky TV police thriller conventions, Foley's film ends up deploying them liberally in its latter half to inject a little labored suspense and contrived jeopardy. Both Coogan and Riseborough are disappointingly underused in thin minor roles, while Doctor Whoveteran Tovey is simply too affably goofy to be plausible as a dangerous psychopath.
All the same, Mindhorn is never less than good fun. Barratt's world-weary, deadpan delivery anchors his performance in emotional truth, even in his most zany slapstick scenes, and he shares a strong comic chemistry with Farnaby. The spoof clips from the fake TV show are lovingly realized, from their scratchy VHS texture to their stiffly melodramatic tone and period-perfect sexism. A spinoff small-screen series would be a deliciously ironic touch. Credit also is due to the Isle of Man's majestically rugged coastal scenery, proudly playing itself after decades of standing in for more exotic locales. The eternal bridesmaid of movie locations finally gets its glorious day at the altar.
