Later it turns out that Shiva is the real heir to the kingdom as he was the son of the late king and was the cousin of Bhallala Deva. The movie then revolves around Bhallala Deva and Baahubali as they need to prove themselves deserving to be the next king.
As expected, the movie has smashed all box office records in the first 3 days of release by grossing a whopping Rs. 165 crore worldwide. Since the movie has been receiving enormous response globally, the makers have announced to release its sequel Baahubali: The Conclusion in 2016.

The storyline effectively described how a scientist created a robot that can comprehend and display human emotions and was invented to assist Indian army in defending the country. But the project fails as the robot falls in love with the scientist’s girlfriend and the scientist’s old rival manipulates the functioning of the robot to make it destructive.
