I disagree with the other answers here.

The only lesson I learnt is if you can spend a ton of ₹₹₹ on cinematography + with a storyline of a medieval era king who fought wars + some political drama + some war time strategy masterstrokes on the battlefield + a little bit of romance here and there to lighten the mood of the audience lest they get bored of seeing only blood and gore- your film would be a box office hit.

There is a new genre of movies emerging in Indian cinema in the past decade- the glorification of medieval Empires in India. Be it Jodhaa Akbar, Padmavati, Bahubali or even Ponniyin Selvan- well PS atleast was based on a book. Fictional yes, but a book nonetheless.

These movies have one thing in common—show the life of kings and mostly revolves around warfare strategies. A king would be betrayed and him (or his son ) would fight back to earn his deserved Kingdom. What happens between these two events is the majority of the movie.

Scenes like the above help the perception that South Indian movies “respect” Hindu sentiments. Ofcourse historical fiction movies would want to grab eyeballs would damn well respect the majority religion followed in India in the medieval times.

Ofcourse I love the movie —Prabhas, Sathyaraj and Anushka totally rocked the show. Six hours of entertainment. But no real lessons which can be applied in our modern day lives.
