A flashback reveals Amarendra Bahubali’s past. Amarendra’s father Vikramadev was chosen as king of Mahishmathi much to displeasure of his elder brother Bijjaladev (Nassar) who was infuriated because he felt that he was being discriminated against due to his disability. Vikramadev died leaving Mahishmathi’s throne empty,
Key Points
while his queen died after giving birth to Amarendra. Sivagami, Bijjala’s wife, took charge of running the kingdom with Kattappa’s assistance until a new king is elected, while also taking responsibility of nurturing infant Amarendra, naming him Baahubali and raising him along with her son Bhallala Deva.
They are brought up together, trained in all areas including arts, science, disguise, politics and warfare, but both of them have different approaches towards kingship. Amarendra Baahubali (Prabhas) is liberal and kind to everyone but Bhallala Deva (Rana Daggubati) is ruthless and achieves his goals by any means possible; he even plots to kill Bahubali along with his father many times.
When the Kalakeyas start a war with the Mahishmathi, Sivagami promises that the new king will be the one who beheads the Kalakeya king, she also declares that weapons must be equally divided between them. But Bijjaladev plots for Bhallala’s win by providing superior weapons for him and leaving inferior ones for Bahubali. In the battle,
when it seems that Mahishmathi will be defeated, Amarendra inspires his soldiers to fight to the death and they decimate the enemy forces. Despite Bhallala Deva being the one to kill the Kalakeya king (Prabhakar), Sivagami announces Amarendra Bahubali as the new emperor because of his nobility and leadership in the battle.
After the flashback, when asked about Amarendra’s current whereabouts by Sanga, a tearful Kattappa reveals that he is dead, and the movie ends in a cliffhanger that Kattappa himself is the one responsible for his death.
