Awesome Films! Much Better Than The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy...
Okay, there were only two rather than three parts but these films showed how to do prequel era political intrigue on another level.
I particularly enjoyed the bit when the rightful King returned to claim his throne with his mother throwing Sethupathi severed head up into the air and Bahubali firing an arrow through it to send it straight back to his evil cousin's feet!
