To know me is to know that I am a massive fan of the BAAHUBALI franchise And even that would be an understatement I approach anything related to Baahubali with a mixture of joy and trepidation Joy because I can delve deeper into one of my favourite fictional worlds and trepidation because there is a gnawing fear that a hatchet job might be underway on something that I adore with unabashed glee Therefore, The Rise of Sivagami was opened with much caution Would it live up to the hype or would it b [...]
2.5 stars.The Rise of Sivagami stands prequel to the movie, Bahubali Anand Neelakantan gives his voice to S.S Rajamouli s creation and crafts the history of Mahishmathi from scratch with his words But what really lies behind the doors of this prosperous kingdom is not what any onlooker would picture it from outside Masked by colours of progress,is the overpowering greed of the ones in power, stampeding the poor and the needy, creating an unfair balance of humanity Every nook and corner reeks of [...]
The book has multiple plots going on that keep you glued Excellent writing mixed with a lot of interesting characters and a somewhat mysterious plot The book as a standalone was a good read It was moderately paced and keeps you entertained However, if you re reading it as the BahuBali prequel, you would expect It didn t match the grandeur of the story It doesn t make you sit straight and wait restlessly to know what happens next I wouldn t even match the ending of Bahubali with this one.Just fo [...]
So, have you watched Baahubali The movie has two really strong characters Sivagami and Kattappa First, you see Sivagami played by Ramya Krishnan fight warriors whilst feeding a baby and then flee She manages to save the baby at the cost of her life Kattappa played by Sathyaraj is shown as the humble manservant slave to the heir to the kingdom of Mahishmati The movie ends with Kattappa telling the tale of Amarendra Baahubali, and confessing to killing his king.Sivagami and Kattappa are truly bad [...]
2.5 5 The author is known for his interesting takes on Ramayana Asura and Mahabharata Ajaya from the point of view of d villains Ravana and Duryodhana Kauravas respectively His twists to those tales were cunning, dark and d books were enjoyable and believable.Unfortunately in this book he has overdone everything darkness , detailed description of rapes orgies which I have not read in an Indian or any book b4 , the rant against caste etc Another major flaw is the huge number of characters and non [...]
The Rise of Sivagami like How to Write a Book with Almost 40 Characters and a Series of Never Ending Coincidences While Making the Main Character as Boring as Possible.Seriously though, I wish authors would write books as books and not made for film scripts This book, although set in the Bahubali universe, offers little in the way of grandiose story telling or epic word imagery Instead, it turns out to be a GoT wannabe with a never ending supply of Machiavellian characters, each with hidden age [...]
If I had to choose one word to describe this book, I would have to say Underwhelming Maybe it was because the movies left me so impressed, that I expected a lot from the book as well Anand Neelakantan has a reputation for being one of the best authors in the genre.After reading the foreword where it was mentioned that S.S Rajamouli personally asked Anand Neelakantan to write this book, I jumped in, with a lot of hopes.Firstly, the one thing that confounded me is the entire plot of the Gauridhool [...]
Writing a book after taking inspiration from a movie, which made an entire country watch in awe, is by no means an easy task and the author deserves praise for taking on the story and adding history to it After reading the book I am a tad disappointed that it didn t engross me as much as I would have liked Part of the reason might be that I expected a lot from the book given the success of the movie and partly due to the fact that there a lot of subplots going around, it feels like a lot is hap [...]
It is rare for a book to be based off a powerful character adapted from celluloid It was with this curiosity that I started reading this book This book is a page turner It seldom gets boring That being said I believe the author tried mimicking series like A Song of Ice and Fire and The lord of the Rings Hidumba of this book reminded me of Tyrion Lannister while Sivagami herself I think has been fashioned after Arya Stark It looks like a poor copy of Game of Thrones There is a good minister who g [...]
True WondererThis was my second book by Anand Neelakantan, The First one ASURA , the reason of his widespread fame, didn t appeal to me all that much and so i was apprehensive about picking up this one But curiosity got the better of me and i am glad that it did I won the book in Goodread s Giveaways and what a ride it has been Firstly, Watch the movie i suspect this was a major reason for the commission of this book , Secondly, even if you don t this will work just fine But you will watch the m [...]
In the mythical land of Mahishmathi, the much revered Gauriparvat looms large, dominating the landscape and the lives of the people of Mahishmathi Deep inside Gauriparvat, too, lie the magical blue stones known as Gaurikanta, which when powdered, yield a dust used to forge weapons like none other These are stones precious than anything else in this land, and for them, men will kill, maim, kidnap, and drive to death others Anand Neelakantan s first book in the series, The Rise of Sivagami, is a [...]

Writing a prequel to an epic movie which has become a phenomenon of sorts in Indian cinema and has raised the standards of regional films in mammoth proportions has to be out of the ordinary The Rise of Sivagami, the first book in the series Baahubali Before the Beginning authored by Anand Neelakantan is a prodigious attempt in this regard I have not read his previous works and Baahubali fandom is an untrodden territory for me, therefore my opinion is pretty much unlike that of a kid in a candy [...]
A prequel of the very amazing and grand movie, bahubali the beginning, a lot is to be expected from this book Even though the grandeur of the movies is hard to adopt in any book, Anand Neelakantan did a great job with this book Even though the book has so many characters, the book mainly brings light to the characters of Sivagami and Kattappa both very important characters in the movies as well Also, we find some new characters like Pattaraya, Rudra Bhatta , Pratapa and Skandadasa who influence [...]
Baahubali movie, I don t think there is anyone who hasn t watched the movie and not smitten by the characters This book is a prequel to the Baahubali movie I wanted to buy this book since the time this book was available for pre order but I was not able to pre order it and finally bought its Kindle edition So let s see what this book offers.Please do check the full book review on our blog The Rise of Sivagami by Anand Neelakantan Book reviewPlot summary The story of this book moves with the char [...]
The Rise of Sivagami by Anand Neelakantan is the first book in the supposed trilogy of a literary series to be based on the film, Bahubali A reel life fictional character seldom inspires a novel but this book has a different tale to tell Set in the kingdom of Mahishmati, the book trails the back stories of several important characters from the film, the protagonist being Sivagami, along with Kattappa, Pattaraya, Thimma, Shivappa, the royals of Mahishmati and many to reach to the point where the [...]
PlotAlthough it was exciting to read about the corruption and dirty politics in Mahishmathi, it was tough to wrap my head around all of the parallel stories in the plot The first 16 or 17 chapters just feel like an introduction to a ton of different plot lines, characters and parallel stories that would one day converge into the main event, in a very Game of Thrones esq manner I read the first few chapters at least a couple of times to even grasp what was happening and where the origin of the st [...]
I picked up the book being a fan of the movie and previous books by the author I was still a bit skeptic as I was doubtful of a novel written in relation to a movie, having never read one Also, since the author having finished the book in 109 days, there was a great chance of things going sideways But I can say all those doubts were put to rest as The Rise of Sivagami was splendid It was a real difficulty putting down the book for other important works.The book is written with POVs of many chara [...]
The movie was great but the book tells us the untold story of Queen Sivagami and her background It s easy to imagine how she would have been as young girl with the same determination, sass and charisma Different characters are weaved together throughout the movie and meet at the climax with a cliffhanger that is unexpected Can t wait for Book 2.
i enjoyed the book throughout As a huge fan of bahubali movie, i was interested to know about the characters in that film This book gave a great introduction to mahismathi and its characters This book is absolutely a page turner Its just q first part in the trilogy I am waiting for the second part as there was a lot of questions remained unanswered Only a very few parts of the book, i didn t like sometimes i felt author is describing slavery too much but overall story and the narration is a thu [...]
Indian writers can create such vulgar characters is my huge disappointment till now I completely hate this book It did no justice to be a prequel to the epic bahubali the movie.
I love the movies so much, I m almost scared to read this book
3.5 5One of my favorite things about Bahubali is that it is a straight forward story about a great kingdom and how the rightful heir wins the throne No hidden ulterior motives, no dramatic reason behind characters actions, everything moves along AND WORKS BEAUTIFULLY, due to the circumstances and pure black white emotions of love, jealousy, and loyalty In some ways, it reminds me of theMahabharatha , the epic about righteousness winning the day Unfortunately for me , the book moves away from thi [...]
Anand Neelakantan manages to keep the mystery alive throughout the book and makes sure the reader is engrossed until the very end A delicious mixture of revenge, honour, power, and politics, this book is a great start in establishing a backstory for one of the most powerful female characters in the movie Can t wait for part two
So much to say about the book, but I would like to summarize in a sentence I was in Mahismati Kingdom for the whole weekend If writing a successful novel is difficult, writing a prequel to a much loved script and making it successful is much beyond difficult.
I am sure all of you out there have watched Baahubali 1 and 2 Most of us have come to love the characters but as with most movies, we do not get to know some of the characters well In this case, with the focus of the movie plot on Baahubali first the father and then the son who share the same second name , we are introduced to some very strong and compelling characters about whom we don t know much.This book, the first in a trilogy, seeks to close the gaps and give us an insight into those chara [...]
So even though we all loved Bhaahubali, why have I given this book only three stars Cause let s start by saying somewhere is this book confused me a lot I remember during my trip in Thailand, as I was reading this book, one of my Thai friend asked me what I was reading Though I read this book half I tried and explained saying I myself don t know what I am reading This book is pretty complex in its own way the relationship between Kattappa and Shivappa, Shivappa and his love interest Above all Sh [...]
If you are a baahubali fan,then what are you waiting for go grab the book and read,don t you dare waste a single minute.The book was awesome indeed,anand neelakantan has described every scene beautifully.I can visualise mahishmathi very perfectly according to his descriptions.Story wise, each person s point of view has various plots and the way they meet in the climax is unexpected and thrilling.I am eagerly waiting for the other two books and want to find out how exactly he s connecting to the [...]
Just finished reading the book 1 Its an amazing book waiting for Book 2 desperately This was the first of its kind book which I read after the movie now for the next part of the movie I would have a background of Mahishmati kingdom Worth reading very well written by Mr.Neelkanthan It was so interesting that I had the book always with me and whenever I could find even time while travelling I read the book.
Completed reading RiseOfSivagami Part one in Baahubali Book Series and surprisingly, it turns out to be a very good read which I didn t expect it to be after reading the first two chapters It gets better with every page The characters are mind blowing I can t even point out coz they are many many characters Do give it a read, the man behind it is ANAND NEELAKANTAN who doesn t really disappoint P.S It is not the same story as the film It is a different story but which is set in the same kingdom M [...]
