Bahubali: The Beginning (బాహుబలి:ద బిగినింగ్)

"Golden dreams and great heartache,"

"churn in the depth of the soul of this river...called life."

"When great mountains lay in its path,"

"it cuts deep gorges through the rock...to keep flowing!.."

"This unstoppable, inexhaustible river called life..."

"It is called the river of life."

Lord Shiva!

For all the sins I have committed,

if death is the only redemption, then take my life!...

But this boy should live...

He should live for his mother who is waiting for him...

he should live to ascend the throne Mahishmati...

Mahendra Baahubali should live!

Dear me!

Hey! What are you waiting for? Hurry!

Hey! Be careful!

What happened? - I am not sure, master.

With all the jewelry on her,

she must have been a queen or something.

She died with her hand pointing up!

Master!

What happened?

They must have come here to kill her.

Looks like she got the better of them.

Master!

Oh my God! A cave!

We never knew this existed!

Looks like it goes all the way to the top of the mountain!

If the lady was holding the baby up, pointing to the top,

Maybe she wanted us to take it back there!

You are out of your mind?

They sent soldiers to kill an infant!

What dangers do you think await him...

if you send him back there! - But, Sanga..

This is my baby.

I have no children...

and the river Goddess has given this boy to me.

If anyone of you object, I will trample upon your necks.

What are you waiting for? Close the cave.

Shiva!

Shiva!

What are you doing here, my dear?

What is up there, mother?

There are ghosts and demons up there!

They prey on and eat little kids!

But I want to go up there, mother!

Don't ever say you want to go up there! Let us go.

How many times have I told you not to climb up there?

Why do you keep doing it?

You are my darling, right? You won't do it again, right?

Looks like he will make it this time.

No way! Look at the water mountain!

It goes way up into the clouds...

...And how many times has he fallen from that hundred feet?

He always slips and falls after the first hundred feet.

Yeah, he slipped and fell at least a hundred times.

Watch! He is going to come sliding down again.

Shiva!

Your mother is upto something there!

'Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva!'

That is fifteen!

Pour another 101 times and your prayers will be answered!

Sage, if I do this, will my son listen to me?

Will he stop trying to climb up that mountain?

Of course! This is a powerful ritual!

Pour this water over Shiva, with all your heart,

and He will guide your son onto the right path.

Alright! 0! Sage. - Hail Shiva!

Mother, you are not getting younger, are you?

It won't help you if you run around so much!

Out of my way! - Mother, please listen to me!

Why should I? Do you ever listen to me?

Father, can you please tell her to stop?

Sanga? - What?

Where are the flowers? - Father! Father!

Let go of me!

Alright! Let me do it on your behalf. Okay?

No way! Lord Shiva won't accept it.

The one who took the oath will have to pour the water!

Sire, carry on with what you are doing. - Hail Lord Shiva!

Mother. - What is it now?

How about I carry you...

and you can pour the water over Lord Shiva? Fine?

No way! Lord Shiva won't accept it.

The one who took the oath will have to pour the water

and she has to walk up to pour the water!

Sage, are you and your Shiva planning to kill my mother?

How should I know what the Lord has in store?

Lord Shiva!

Sanga!

See what your lad is up to now!

What is it this time?

Shiva, stop!

You will go to hell for this blasphemy! Shiva, stop!

Shiva.

Shiva, wait..

"The celestial river agitatedly moving through His matted hair"

"which makes His head shine with those soft waves."

"And His forehead shining like a brilliant fire"

"and the crescent of moon which is an ornament to His head"

"makes my mind love Him each and every moment."

"Who is he and where he comes from?

"He brought with him eternal light spreading everywhere."

"His strong arms can turn the tide of history."

"River Bhagirathi, Lord Shiva head towards you."

"Look at this great irony."

"The consort of the sportive daughter of the mountain"

"whose mind rejoices at Her side long glances."

"With the stream of merciful look which removes hardships"

"Makes my mind take pleasure in Him"

"who wears the directions as apparel."

"With the lustrous gem"

"on the serpent's hood in His matted locks."

"He, who is with His bride whose face is decorated"

"by the melting of red saffron vermillion."

"And who wears on His shoulder the hide of the elephant"

"which was blind with ferociousness."

"Makes my mind happy and contented in Him"

"who is the leader of demons."

Mother!

Not just a thousand showers for your Lord,

He will bathe all the time now. Are you happy now?

Yes..

Sage, it played out just like you predicted!

My son hasn't looked up at that waterfall since.

Do you ever underestimate Lord Shiva's power?

But now he sits staring at the wooden mask

that fell on the Shivalingam from above.

Now what is with that?

Lord Shiva works in mysterious ways.

Only He would know.

A small doubt.

Since my son was the one who made sure

the idol is bathed all the time.

Will his wish of climbing up the mountain come true

or will Sanga's wish of him always

staying down here come true?

To hell with your doubts. My son did what he did for me!

My wish will be fulfilled. Isn't that right?

Lord Shiva does whatever He thinks. Hail Lord Shiva!

Hail Lord Shiva!

What did he say?

Shiva!

How long are you going to sit holding that wooden mask?

There is somebody up there.

Maybe there is, but your mother is calling out to you.

Let us go home. - Go ahead. I will come later.

Let us go, boys.

Who are you? Why did you come to me?

"My heart is lost."

"Like a drop in the waves."

"I am the one whose eyes shine amidst the stars"

"I am the one who sings amidst the waterfalls"

"My voice echoes through streams, listen to me!"

"The persevering one, your bravery will take you forward."

"You leap higher and higher, firm and stable and determined."

"The persevering one, your bravery will take you forward."

"You leap higher and higher, firm and stable and determined."

"I breathe for you..."

"and only you"

"Come and let us live together."

"Let me tell you something, my love."

"I chose you as my soul mate."

"Whether I stumble and fall, with haste I will come."

"I am but a sudden gust of wind. I stop for no one."

"I will break free of every mountain in no time."

"He is strong and without an equal adversary who can fight."

"His anger will cause new fears in his foes."

"He is strong and without an equal adversary who can fight."

"His anger will cause new fears in his foes."

"You come out of blue with a gift of love."

"Drop a word and I swear"

"I will give up my life for you."

"Scaling peak impossible, his blood flows like a rivulet."

"His sturdy body, a weapon. Hail this hero of the world."

"Destructive in the air and sky can win with his roar of war."

"A ferocious warrior will become soft-hearted afterwards."

"Killer of fear. Ocean of wealth."

"Arduous struggle over, healing calm sets over him."

"Killer of fear. Ocean of wealth."

"Arduous struggle over, healing calm sets over him."

"Killer of fear. Ocean of wealth."

"Arduous struggle over, healing calm sets over him."

"The persevering one, your bravery will take you forward."

"You leap higher and higher, firm and stable and determined."

"The persevering one, your bravery will take you forward."

"You leap higher and higher, firm and stable and determined."

"The persevering one.."

"Hey, warrior. Come closer!"

"Hey, handsome. You are mine."

Hey!

Hey! Stop!

Stop!

Over there!

Kasi!

It is a trap. Kill them!

Dear God!

How come you got this?

One of your men, sneaked into our kingdom.

He tried to rescue Devasena. We killed him.
