Rajamouli succeeds because he has a writer (his dad, I think) who can make it convincing. Rajamouli himself can tell a story convincingly.
Bollywood cannot because it doesn't use good writers. Nor are the A list directors any good at storytelling.
Blaming the audience for not liking Bollywood productions ain't going to get anyone anywhere. First, get a good script. Then making a convincing film. Simply throwing in a few CGI crows in the climax scene will not turn you into Rajamouli
ETA. Take Hirani. Most sane people understand you are more likely to die poor than win an award if you quit engineering and take up photography. Everyone knows you can't really get away with impersonating someone and getting him an engineering degree. But Hirani managed to tell the tale in a convincing manner.
Audience mocks you, Bollywood. But it's on you, Bollywood, not us.
exactly, you have to create a world which is convincing and pull the audience in, it is the writer and directions ability to do that
it is not like all south movies have done it successfully, there were moveis like puli which failed miserably just like shamshera
stop blaming the auidence and look inwards
