On day one, there is huge criticism about Baahubali among Telugu audiences. Even now, many film lovers say that the film is weak in terms of storyline though a giant in Visual Effects and thrills. I wondered what made many critics talk that way.If at all Baahubali is a Hollywood movie's copy, then those who are arguing that it's a copy should copy at least one Hollywood movie and make it a visually appealing Telugu film. Is anyone ready for the challenge? If you want a regular mass-masala movie, then watch it on a DVD at home or turn to our popular Telugu channels as they play such routine movies everyday without ad breaks. Why watch a film like Baahubali in theatres then?
Already Rajamouli promoted it as a visual experience, so he stood on his promise. Don't blame it for story. If there is no story why would the producers invest 250 crores in the film? If anyone thinks they could make this film in 10 crores budget, why not do it then? Few ranted why it took 3 years for making this movie. Films like Avatar, Gladiator and even Terminator took 5-7 years in Hollywood for making. Those who don't know about the nuances of film production are unnecessarily spitting venom.
Even if someone doesn't spread positive about Baahubali, that will be fine. But how come they spread negative without understanding the film? Buying a ticket with 1000 rupees won't make you a judge of 250 crores investment and 3 years of hard work, isn't it?
Try to read some reviews given by Hollywood critics. They have praised the film for its visual appeal, cute romance between Prabhas and Tamanna in first half and the whole story in second half. Some felt first half is weak; maybe they never know what romance is about or stuck to a point that hilarious comedy scenes should be there in every movie.
If Baahubali is really a silly film, collections wouldn't be so amazing even if the film is released in huge number of theatres. Those who can't appreciate the true beauty of this classic, are never going to enjoy the new line of Telugu cinema Rajamouli is trying to create. Whole world is applauding that the film took Indian movies to next level, but some Telugu audiences still feel that there is no story, no well-etched characterisations and others in the film. God save them.
