Bollywood can never make Baahubali
Sound designer PM Satheesh said, “What we lack in Bollywood is discipline. Why is Baahubali happening in Telugu cinema, because the money for the film of this sort goes into the production. It’s not eaten up by a few big stars. If you have a 600 crore-film in Mumbai, at max Rs 100 crore will go into the production, if you are lucky. Otherwise, everything is siphoned out to a few stars and people. In Baahubali, every penny has gone into the production that’s why it shows.” Quite point on!
They don’t make films like this anymore, or do they? Well, only if it comes from the godly hands of SS Rajamouli. When the director’s latest offering Baahubali: The Conclusion got postponed for almost an year, fans couldn’t bear the delay. But now that the film is out, making and breaking records, it was every bit worth the wait. Baahubali 2 has established a benchmark in Indian cinema by surpassing Aamir Khan’s Dangal and Salman Khan-starrer Sultan’s opening day records. It ended up earning over Rs 100 crore on its very first day.
