巴霍巴利王，是一位耆那教的聖者
原本的故事是這樣的
巴霍巴利和弟弟婆羅多和爭王位，巴霍巴利通過非暴力的比賽方式（瞪眼，水戰和摔跤，史前奧運會）贏得了王位
但是王位到手，他突然覺得這樣內心難以平靜
他放棄王權，進行苦修，脫光光站在山頂，最終成為耆那教的聖者
阿育王的爺爺一統印度之後，夢見了巴霍巴利王，也退位苦修去了

而這個巴霍巴利王，本來是在家中錦衣玉食
卻被導演塞了摩訶婆羅多的劇本
還是嬰兒的王子於宮廷鬥爭中被救出，雨夜被托舉著渡過河流，交託與平民的養母，度過無憂無慮的少年時代，而他的生母囚禁在王宮中。
後來的故事我們都熟悉了，奎師那回到了宮廷，殺死篡位的舅舅，救回了生母。

而他爹，另一個巴霍巴利王，天生力大無窮，正等著和弟弟來一場史前奧運會
卻又被導演塞了摩訶婆羅多的劇本
王朝的長子因殘廢而不能繼位，次子繼位早死，王朝新一代的兩個孩子都有繼承權，挑優而選，一位內心仁慈，一位邪惡，然而武功難分憂劣，最終的考驗是一場戰鬥，擒拿住首領的人就是王儲
後面的故事我們也知道了，堅戰在擒拿木柱王一戰中獲勝，加冕王儲，卻被密謀放火，消失在紫膠宮

下一部的劇情肯定還是充滿摩訶婆羅多的風味，最後加一段阿育王式的結尾，巴霍巴利王退位，使用原著的結局。

雖然這個故事充滿了老梗，然而最好的地方就是一個字，燃！
2000年來，無論多少版的摩訶婆羅多，都沒有這樣的視覺效果，這樣的節奏，這樣的燃點
導演說他將來要拍摩訶婆羅多，然而已霍巴利王，已經是a story of mahabharata

照抄自印度的影評，角色的一一對應：
SIVAGAMI 對應貞信太后，我覺得她還有點像摩訶婆羅多的監國夫人妙賢:
The boldness of SIVAGAMI should have be drawn from the characters of Sathyavathi , the step mom of Bhishma who in spite of losing her husband and her sons , boldly ran the kingdom of Hastinapur with the help of Bhishma who protected her at that period of time.

KATTAPPA 對應毗濕摩
The character of Kattapa does show the respect and sincerity of Bhishma in Mahabharata. Though Kattappa could have acted against Sivagami using his power and could have taken over the kingdom of Magizhmathi but he was faithful and kept his words like Bhishma.

BHIJJALA DEVA 殘疾的大伯無疑是持國
This character is handicapped, possess inferiority complex, doesn』t have power in the kingdom and so trains his son to gain power. It is clearly the character of king Dhritarashtra.This character also has flavor of Shakuni that works with cunning ideas.

BHALLALA DEVA 對應難敵和波羅那
This character is clear portrayal of Duryodhana and Ravana. Like these epic characters, he has not been accepted by the Devasena (Dhuryodhana and Ravana have failed in the test to marry Draupadi and Sita), he didn』t get proper recognition for his talents because he had cruel intentions and though equally talented compared to his peer he is denied power and so did create a master plan to gain power.

BAHUBALI 巴霍巴利爹對應般度五子，他有堅戰的仁慈，怖軍的力氣，阿周那的戰鬥技巧，無種的女人緣
This character could be inspired from Pandavas or in particular Arjuna. This character is close to heart for Kattappa like Pandavas were to Bhishma. Also we are able to know from scenes that Bahubali married Devsena competing with Ballala like Arjuna won the test to marry Draupadi. Bahubali became prey to the cunning plan of Ballala and his father and was killed.

DEVASENA 巴霍巴利娘 她在第一部的戲份我覺得更像奎師那的生母devaki，但是在巴霍巴利爹那條線中，她是黑公主和悉多的合體。第一部的台詞透露出兩個堂兄弟都曾經追求過她，第二部肯定會有黑公主選婿的戲份。
Her character shows the shades of Sita in ashoka vanam. She is dressed up in clothes that is torn. She wants to take revenge against Bhallala and as Sita was waiting for Rama here she waits for her son to rescue her. Also the scene which has Shivadu coming into the palace and burning curtains is portrayal of Hanuman burning Lanka. And when Ballala talks to her saying she could have married him and escaped this suffering it is taken from the scene where Ravana tells Sita the same.

SHIVADU 無疑從身世和個性上都接近奎師那，KATTAPPA對他行的大禮正是「將蓮花足置於頭上」（毗濕奴/奎師那信徒頭上的標記）
He is the main character who has come to rescue Devasena. His character is sketched similar to Lord Krishna. He is born as prince and is adopted by tribes, who is naughty as a kid and saves his biological mother from being jailed without knowing anything about his birth until he rescues his parents.

AVANTIKA 奎師那的夫人真光，戰鬥型公主
The love of Shivadu has very light shades of Sathyabama who is also a warrior and fights with Krishna initially but ends in falling in love with him.

男主養母：原型來自於奎師那的養母 Yashoda

另外強力的女性角色也是這部戲的一個亮點women empowerment
Not only the characters are inspired from the epic, I also want to register another impact this movie has created is on women empowerment. When everyone in the film industry talks about it, director S.S.Rajamouli has silently created strong female characters in this movie as in the epics and the drive the story completely. Hats off S.S.Rajamouli.
