That Bonkers Viral Bollywood Clip is From ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ on Netflix

Twitter is often maligned for being a cesspool of trolls and bad opinions, but every so often, the platform gifts us with true art. Two days ago, Twitter user @ChuckEChaves shared a Bollywood clip of mythic soldiers climbing a tree, cutting it loose, and letting the spring back catapult them over the walls of a massive fortress.

Later, he uploaded a longer clip, searing in its scope and shocking in its audacity. The scene was depicting a whole army of men acrobatically turning themselves into living missiles with the help of teamwork, shields, and those trusty trees. As @ChuckEChaves put it so eloquently, “The full scene with sound is just the greatest scene I’ve ever watched.”

Naturally, it’s going viral on Twitter. But where is it from? Where can you watch the original film? And what the hell is going on???

This bonkers viral Bollywood scene is from the denouement of the box office-smashing Bollywood blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Together, Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion are often described as India’s answer to Lord of the Rings. The super-sized epics depict mythic battles, absurd action sequences, and lavish set design. The story, written by K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, follows the bloody rivalry between brothers Amarendra Baahubali and Bhallaladeva. In the first film, this culminates in Bhalladeva arranging the murder of his brother, played by Prabhas. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion follows the journey of Mahendra Baahubali, Amarendra Baahubali’s son, as he avenges his father’s death. He is also played by Prabhas.

The good news is both films are available to stream on Netflix. The tricky thing is both features were filmed in Telugu and Tamil, and Netflix not only has both those versions, but a dubbed version in Hindi (with English subtitles). So you might see at least six different listings when you search for Baahubali in your Netflix account, but there are only two films.

As for the viral clip on Twitter? It happens at around 2 hours and 20 minutes into Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, and it’s even more spectacular in Netflix’s high definition playback. It’s up to you if you want to watch both features, but it would make for a heck of a movie night. The even better news? Netflix is committed to all things Baahubali! They’ve ordered an original prequel series called Baahubali: Before the Beginning.
