Looks pretty historical to me :D

There's a follow up - Baahubali War: The Conclusion. I'm sure it's every bit as historical. Especially liked the horse powered Cuisinart and the "fire-blankets" :)

The films were phenomenally successful.

First came across this when looking for info about the Indus Valley Civilisation. I preferred Mohenjo-Daro myself but then what do I know about the cinema of the Indian Sub-continent?

THAT's how to do Scythed chariots.
Compare with the puny failing Persian/Seleucid ones.

That was quite fun ......What's that from then ? :)

I presume it has the word 'Dead' in the title.

Thanks, Nathan.  :-bd

I don't think I ever even saw the first one, let alone "2" and "3".....Which is strange, as those were the types of films that I'd have probably enjoyed 'back then'.  :D

Cheers - Phil  :)
