Majority of audience and critics are unified on one accepted point of ‘Bahubali’ lacked in quality emotions and strong story telling format which customarily define an SS Rajamouli brand. Film stood strong at Box Office because of extensive promotional campaigns ran on digital media turning the spotlight on ‘Bahubali’ as biggest visual wonder on Indian screen. Long haul into protracted CGI/VFX assignments assured a brilliant visual quality at the cost of missing story.
Looks like Gunasekhar is in fine feather vetoing the media comparisons shown between ‘Rudhramadevi’ and ‘Bahubali.’ The genius film maker requested one and all not to scan these two films in same string. Guna explains ‘Rudhramadevi’ as an epic with powerful story of one of the few ruling queens in Indian history originated in Telugu land.
He is known to have undertaken this project with less belief on ‘Bahubali’ like CG or set works because there is a lengthy story to narrate in ‘Rudhramadevi.’ Of course, visual effects play a predominant role in Guna’s film too but not at the expense of succumbing to weakness in story. If analysts are still dying to compare ‘Rudhramadevi’ Vs ‘Bahubali’, they can do it but do not look at the magnitude of expenditure, have a healthy comparison based on story.
