What made me love Bahubali2?

Is it the introduction in which he shatters the doors to makes way for his mum by pulling the "Ratham" ? Is it the perfect posture of standing on an elephant and releasing the arrow ? Is it the giant powerful man bounded by a mother's affection who takes rest in his mother's lap ? Is it that loving son who takes his mother for a ride on a chariot ? Is it the swordsmanship with which he kills 3 guys with just one thrust of a sword , pulls it out of their body , twists and slashes into other set of soldiers?
Is it the support of "Pancha-Bhoothas" for waging the wars ?
1. Support of fire for waging the Kalakeya war
2. Support of lightning from sky to save Kattappa
3. Support of water to wash away Pindaris like ants in Kunthala
4. Support of Vayu(air) from Palm trees to enter the palace
5. Or breaking the land beneath Bhalla's statue, thereby seeking earth's support ?
Is it that wonderful gentleman who lets his wife walk over his shoulders to enter the boat ? Is it that great man who keeps calm and trust's his partner's capability in archery and teaches her to release 3 arrows in one shot during war? Is it that great husband who chops off the head of a Commander for trying to grope women? Is it that man of "Dharma" who never fails to stay on the side of Dharma even at the cost of opposing his mother?
Or is it the fall of a "head-greedy for throne" ending up shattered along the perennial waterfall, which the deserving character climbs?
When everyone treats a scene as a dot - This man did it differently by viewing it as a collection of 24 Frames. He created an epic by making each Frame speak for itself.
HatsOff to your thoughts and picturization Rajamouli. You have created a page for yourself by creating history.
