An American couple watch hit trailer of Indian movie Baahubali, Telugu version, to review it.
There are no subtitles and they have no clue on where the plot is taking them. Add to it, their lack of familiarity with Indians, who bring to their mind images of native Americans.
They smirk, are skeptical on what they are going to see and ready to ravage some unknown Third World movie.
Their heads spin and opinion shifts fast with the establishing shot itself - Prabhas running towards the waterfall and hanging on to the cliff. Everything that follows - the characters, the fights, the city, the water fall - stuns them.
They find Bahubali visually captivating, with CGI not overblown, and a plot that blends fantasy with reality.
They manage to guess the storyline, a vendetta movie, and give full marks to music, direction and performances.
They say they don't understand a word of what the characters are saying, but are moved by the emotional body language.
