Movie Synopsis:<br />After vanquishing the Kalakeyas, Amarendra Baahubali is declared as the<br />future king of Mahishmati and Bhallaladeva its commander-in-chief. The<br />Rajmata Sivagami orders Amarendra to tour the kingdom and its<br />neighbourhood, along with Kattappa. During the tour, Amarendra witnesses<br />an attack by Devasena / Thevasenai, the princess of Kuntala, a kingdom<br />neighbouring Mahishmati. Falling in love with her, he approaches her<br />after the fight, posing as a simpleton and an orphan and Kattappa plays<br />a role as his uncle, and is accepted into the royal palace for a job.<br /><br />Bhallaladeva receives a message of Amarendra's act and upon viewing<br />Devasena's portrait, lusts for her. He asks Sivagami for Devasena's hand<br />in marriage. The Rajmata, who was unaware of Amarendra's feelings for<br />Devasena, assures Bhallaladeva and sends an emissary to Kuntala, who<br />delivers the marriage proposal in a patronising way. An insulted<br />Devasena rejects the proposal with a scathing reply. Enraged hearing her<br />response, Sivagami sends an order to Amarendra that Devasena be brought<br />to Mahishmati as a captive.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Kuntala is attacked by Pindaris, a dacoit-like army.<br />Amarendra, with the help of Kattappa, Devasena's maternal cousin, Kumara<br />Varma, is able to nullify the attack and save Kuntala. Upon being<br />questioned, Amarendra reveals his true identity. He receives a bird post<br />from Mahishmati, ordering him to take Devasena as captive.
