There are a few strange situations in Bahubali 2.
Firstly Devasena(Anushka).
I was surprised that her elder brother the King of the smaller kingdom never put a check on Devasena's haughtiness.
No doubt she is a capable woman herself BUT being too blunt to a bigger more powerful kingdom is asking for trouble..there would surely be attacks if one acts too smart.
Her role reminded me of Draupadi but Draupadi was from a very big and powerful Kingdom so she dared to act smart and arrogant.
No doubt when the proposal for Devasena came ..it was done in a not too great manner that is sort of putting down her brothers kingdom by displaying jewels ..gold etc saying that they would have not seen that much before...so Devasena got angry and sent back an equally stinging message.
That was not right I feel cos diplomacy could have saved her kingdom from being attacked.
She could have sent a message saying that "My kingdom might be smaller than yours but I desire a Prince who will steal my heart with his own might and not money cos money can never buy my love ..and might/valor will remain even if Kingdom is lost"
One more scene is when she walks on Bahubali shoulders to get into the ship.
Her elder bro watching that actually felt proud!LOL
I was thinking OMG! She is going to marry him and she is still behaving all arrogant.
She could have flirted with him and said "Carry me across"
That would have more romantic.
Then Anushka has dark big eyes when young but when old her eyes become grey!
One more question..it sure seems to me Bhalladeva had the hots for Devasena right up till the end
He wanted her captive cos he desired her but knew she does not fancy him.
He goes crazy when he sees her missing!
That felt a bit like Ramayan..where Ravan hold Sita captive but she does not respond.
Anyway overall a very good movie.
