The film has been the most talked about Entertainment hashtag of the year on Twitter, even made it IMDB's list of Top Indian films of the year and took Prabhas, Anushka Shetty and Rana Daggubati's careers to new heights. Talk about best of cinema in the year gone by and no one can escape mentioning Baahubali, not only in India but abroad as well. 

Now this larger than life has made it to second spot on Rotten Tomatoes' list for 'Best Movies Off The Radar 2017', recommending the 'bombastic action in India' as one of the best movies of 2017. The list includes films made from around the world and Baahubali is the only Indian film that has made it here. Scoring 100 %, the website describes the film as : “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion plays like a shotgun wedding between Ben Hur and Kung Fu Hustle, seasoned with bits of Shakespeare, Kurosawa, and Buster Keaton. In other words, it’s a blockbuster that’s both gigantic and lighter than air. The story of The Beginning was as simple as a fairy tale and as resonant as a myth, but with The Conclusion, director S.S. Rajamouli has cranked everything to 11; rarely have action sequences this gravity- (and logic-) defying been captured on film. What separates this epic (which was a massive hit in India and within the South Asian diaspora) from its American brethren is its sincerity and optimism: its righteous titular hero (played by Prabhas) and his band of honorable men and women clash with scheming, corrupt bad guys, and it feels alternately old-fashioned and refreshingly bold. It’s the kind of film that reminds us why we love going to the movies.”
