Hollywood and Bollywood at the same Level?

BAHUBALI part 1, is one of India's latest and finest films. The film, which was made on a budget of₹120 crore (US$18 million), released worldwide on 10 July 2015 to positive reviews from critics, became the highest grossing Indian film within India,[5] and became the third highest grossing Indian film globally. It became the first South Indian film to gross over ₹600 crore (US$88 million) worldwide and the first non-Hindi film to gross over₹100 crore (US$15 million) in the dubbed Hindi version. It is also the highest grossing Telugu film of all time.

The cinematography was nice, the graphics, special effects and visual effects are a good statement to Hollywood that Bollywood is coming of age. The costumes, sets, and other production designs are a serious attempt to belittle some of Hollywood's greatest adventures. Performance as in acting wise from some of the key characters can send some of Hollywood top actors back to acting school.


Had some issues with lighting in some key scenes that would have redefine cinematic moments, story had its little flaws (but which story doesn't?) But a good story with some amassing plots. The Direction wasn't the best I have seen from an Indian Director, but it's one of the best attempt at achieving greatness. In overall: is this the film that makes Bollywood better or just equal to Hollywood? The answer is NO, but if they can master the effects, lighting, perfect the performance of the rest of the actors, remove the Indian music scenes (it doesn't work for a serious adventure even for Bollywood), reduce unnecessary shots, to many angles, get a little more adventurous sounds, music and score, and get a better subtitle in the forthcoming sequel, ? Only then I can say YES. Bollywood and Hollywood are at Per... Personal opinion.
