Made on a massive budget, the film was a commercial blockbuster and loved by the audience all over the world. Today, as this super hit film completes 6 years, here are 5 reasons why the film was loved by the global audience.

​Prabhas and Tamannaah Bhatia’s chemistry

The pairing of Prabhas as Sivudu and Tamannaah Bhatia as the rebellion Avanthika was an accomplishment on its own. Without any doubt, the on-screen chemistry between the two actors was the key element of the film. The acting and chemistry are the highlights of the picture, but the entire narrative and conversations are solid. Their chemistry was absolutely incredible and made the film unforgettable.

​Fantastic story

Baahubali: The Beginning tells the story of Sivudu, who lives with his family near the kingdom of Mahishmati learns about the conflict-ridden past of his family his legacy while pursuing his love. Sivudu must now prepare himself to face his newfound arch-enemy. Rajamouli's hard-hitting direction and effective lead performances meant that the story was only better told on celluloid. Thanks to some A-list stars like Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah Bhatia Khan, Anushka Shetty, Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj and Nassar, and hard-hitting performances, the story gets out and in a big way.
