今年の夏前に公開され、瞬く間にインド映画興行収入1位（世界では3位らしい）を記録した「Bahubali」。友人にゴリ押しされて観てきました。内容は簡単に言うと、古代インドを舞台にした、恋愛あり、戦闘あり、のヒーローものです。外国人の私にとって困ったのは、オリジナルのテルグ語とタミル語でしか見れないということ。ゴリ押しされた友人にあらすじを聞いてから観たのですが、中々難解で、分かったような分からなかったような…といった印象…。でも大丈夫！相当お金をかけているであろう、半端ないスケール感のCGを大満喫しました（とか言いつつ、途中の戦闘シーンで居眠りしたのは秘密です）！
I guess this movie will be a legendary film in India cinema history. A blockbuster film named Bahubali, which recorded the highest gross in India and the third highest worldwide has been in the theaters for months, which is a very rare phenomenon to witness here. I have watched this film in August, after hearing the enthusiastic recommendation from my friend. Originally, this is a Telugu film and another option was in Tamil. Here in Kerala, Tamil was available, so after studying the overall plot, I headed to the theater with my Japanese friends. Well, it was really tough for us to catch the story since it was an ancient tale with complicated relationships and of course we couldn't understand the language, but still it was worth watching because of the tremendous scale of the computer graffics you can see.

それにしてもインド映画には、現実ではあり得ない超常現象があまた登場するのは何故なのでしょう。Baahubaliもご多聞に漏れず、超常現象の数々を目撃することができます。
I am always astonished by all the supernatural phenomenons when watching Indian films and this movie was not an exception.
序盤の一場面。女性が自らを犠牲にして濁流の中に沈み、かかげた手の中には赤ちゃんが…。赤ちゃんギャンギャン泣き続けてて見ていて苦しくなります。
A photo capture of an initial scene of the film, where a lady is carrying a crying baby in her arm in a muddy stream. She was stabbed before this scene and decided to sacrifice herself to save the baby.
一晩明けて、近くに住む人々に無事赤ちゃんは助けられますが、女性はそれまで腕をこのままにしていたことになります…。恐るべし腕力です。
The next morning the baby was rescued by a nearby living tribe, that means, this woman was keeping this posture all night.
主人公は滝が流れる崖を登るのが大好きなのですが、ある日、隣の崖に美しい女性を見つけます。その女性に近づきたいがために、何と崖から崖へジャーンプ！最初は何度も失敗しますが、ついに女性のいる崖に着地することができます。現実的な映画が好みの私にとっては、まさにファンタジーの極致で、非現実的なことが起きる前提で観ないと「？」の連続でした。
Another scene is the protagonist jumps from a precipice to another to approach a woman. He is addicted to climbing the walls of a waterfall, and during his climbing routine, he finds this beautiful woman and instantly falls in love. I hope nobody will try to do the same(I would if I were a child!!), since this is a fantasy.
大ヒットを記録したこともあり、日本でも観れる日が来る気がします。そしてこの作品は2部作になっていて、第2部は来年公開だそうです。いろんな意味でスケールの大きいBahubaliです！
Responding to this huge hit, I expect it will be available in Japan as well. A sequel is to be released next year. It is a huge scale movie in many ways!
