You're calling RRR crass.😆 Doubt you've watched it.
Rajamouli's movies are incredibly well-made. They're far from being crass. Actually, name a less crass, less sexist Bollywood movie made for the masses than RRR. Doubt you can.
BTW, it's a worldwide hit now. And not just among Indian audiences.
Tells you something, doesn't it?
Pushpa might be mass, and I haven't watched Karthikeya.
Point is they have actual content and are not star vehicles. Which is why they're succeeding.
Money isn't everything? Movies are made for audiences. Money created is one major way to evaluate audience response. They vote with their wallets.
BTW, South movies which succeeded at least paid attention to content which would appeal rather than just try tricks to get money. That's all Bollywood does. Chase after money. A star or two, foreign locations, VFX, remix music. Script? What is that?😆
Bollywood doesn't have good content. Blame boycotts as much as you want. Bollywood ain't coming back until it admits there is a problem with itself. It's like alcoholism. First step is admitting there's a problem with YOU (generic you).
Eta. Parts of Bollywood seem to be seething with envy at the moment. 😆
Eta 2. If Vikram Vedha succeeds, it will because of a South script and a South director.
