Anyhow the difference is Ayaan is using VFX for the entire shot, while Rajamouli used it relatively sparsely, while likely being on a lower budget than Rajamouli. Ayaan should have ideally restricted the count of these grand shots, because this does look cheap.
The bigger problem is the color grading is making it look like Ayan's mood board was Bal Veer or Son Pari
this is a good point, the tones in rrr and even baahubali are very earthy like a amar chitra katha comic while kgf is grey and dusty and dark, suits the retro and kgf mines feel.
rrr was much better done in vfx but now that some benchmarks are there, people will compare with that and you have to be better as you dont have the first mover advantage of originality
