Yet, the Rajamouli-fication of Bollywood is not without criticism. Detractors argue that Bollywood is abandoning its rich tradition of nuanced storytelling. The intimate family drama (Kapoor & Sons), the sharp social satire (Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!), and the lyrical realism of a Masaan are being sidelined for "elevation scenes" and slo-mo walks. By trying to imitate Rajamouli’s scale, Bollywood risks producing hollow spectacles—films with VFX but no vision, action but no emotion.

Furthermore, Rajamouli’s films are deeply rooted in Telugu folklore, temple iconography, and K. V. Reddy’s legacy. When Bollywood copies the form without the cultural substance, it often produces caricatures. Baahubali works because Rajamouli believes in its world; a cynical Bollywood knockoff merely believes in its box office.

Set in the Chambal ravines in the 1970s, SSR played Lakhan Singh — a dacoit with a conscience. He was brutal, foul-mouthed, but deeply moral.

Why it failed commercially:
Too dark, no songs, and poor marketing. But critics called it “India’s best western.” Yet, the Rajamouli-fication of Bollywood is not without

SSR’s genius:
He learned to speak the Bundeli dialect with a lisp. Watch the scene where he confronts Manoj Bajpayee’s character — the raw tension is unforgettable.

Later that same year, Sushant proved his versatility with Maneesh Sharma’s quirky romantic comedy. As Raghu Ram, a guide who suffers from commitment-phobia, Sushant showcased his comic timing. While the film was ahead of its time regarding modern relationships, it solidified his position as a leading man who could carry a film on his charm alone.
