SS Rajamouli Recalls One of His Most Depressing Moments In Filmmaking Career

Hyderabad, May 11 - SS Rajamouli is one of the most celebrated and successful Indian filmmakers of all time, and his movies have paved the path for other filmmakers to dream big.



One of the landmark moments in Rajamouli's career is the Prabhas-fronted Baahubali film series which opened the doors for Telugu cinema on the national front. The two-part film is the highest-grossing franchise in India.
While "Baahubali" gave Rajamouli nationwide recognition, the filmmaker revealed that it also gave him one of the most depressing moments of his filmmaking career. During an event hosted by his brother-in-law Dr. AV Guruva Reddy, Rajamouli revealed that even though Baahubali - The Beggining got a positive reception all over, he left highly disappointed with reviews from the Telugu people.



"On the day of the release of Baahubali: The Beginning, it was the first pan-Indian film, so we released it in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, the whole of North India, America, and UAE. We had a positive talk all across the globe. But our main bread and butter are from Telugu-speaking states, (and there) it had a very bad reception. People were saying it is one of the biggest disasters of the film industry".





He further revealed that since the movie was a huge budgeted one, he feared worst if it had become a disaster as that would have put the producer in a huge financial crisis. Thankfully, the paying audience didn't entertain the negativity and made Baahubali the biggest blockbuster of that time before "Baahubali 2" shattered all the records everywhere.





The first part of the epic historical drama grossed approx. 650 crores worldwide against the budget of approx. 180 crores, before "Baahubali 2" scored over 1700 crores and is currently the second highest-grossing Indian film of all time.

Opinion: How An Eight-Week Theatrical Window Could Reshape South Indian Cinema's Future

Mumbai, October 28 - The South Indian film industry has been at the forefront of India's box office resurgence over the past few years after facing the setback from the Covid-19 pandemic. From crowd-pullers like KGF 2, RRR, and Pushpa 2 to record-breaking phenomena like Kantara Chapter 1, these films have consistently drawn large numbers of audiences back to theatres. Yet, despite the success of tentpole blockbusters, the theatrical run of such films is being cut short far too soon due to premature OTT releases. This growing trend poses a serious threat to the sustainability of the theatrical ecosystem. After the pandemic, the entertainment industry, especially theatrical exhibition, was among the worst-hit sectors. Theatres across the country were shut for months, and filmmakers were left with no choice but to take an alternative route to recover costs. This was when digital platforms emerged as a boon, offering an immediate solution for film releases. However, this was never a long-term solution, given the limited financial returns from OTT platforms compared to theatrical revenue. Once the pandemic eased and normalcy returned, it became crucial for filmmakers to go back to basics and rebuild the theatrical business and help the sector recover from the pandemic blow. Bollywood was the first to do so, reinstating the pre-COVID norms and maintaining an eight-week theatrical window before films headed to OTT. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about South Indian cinema, where most films continue to follow a four-week window. This shortsighted approach has severely impacted theatres, particularly in Karnataka, where exhibitors are struggling to draw audiences back, especially for mid and small-budget films. Viewers are now aware that a film will be available to stream online within a month, which discourages them from visiting theatres. While producers might still manage to recover their budgets and earn quick profits through early digital deals, this strategy is proving disastrous for exhibitors. Theatres are the proven backbone of the film industry's economy, and neglecting their long-term survival will ultimately harm everyone involved. The time has come for theatres in the South to take a decisive step and insist on a longer theatrical window, just as Bollywood has done to some extent. A uniform minimum eight-week window can help sustain the box office momentum and restore the balance between filmmakers, exhibitors, and audiences. South Indian cinema, just like any other film industry, has built its reputation on big-screen spectacles and community-driven experiences. To safeguard that magic and ensure the future of theatrical viewing, exhibitors and filmmakers must reunite for better planning. Protecting the theatrical window is not merely about the film business; it's about keeping alive the very essence of cinema that audiences love and celebrate. Stay tuned...
