The landscape of South Indian cinema underwent a significant transformation with the release of SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus, Baahubali, in 2015. Before this, the concept of making films in multiple parts was virtually unheard of in South cinema. However, Rajamouli’s visionary approach cracked the code and opened the floodgates of possibilities for other filmmakers.
Baahubali’s massive success not only revolutionized the industry but also inspired filmmakers to explore the potential of multi-part films. Following in the footsteps of Baahubali, another film that successfully cracked the code was KGF. This Kannada-language film achieved remarkable success and garnered immense popularity. KGF’s triumph further solidified that multi-part films could captivate audiences and break box office records.
The success of Baahubali and KGF laid the foundation for other ambitious projects, one of which is Mani Ratnam’s, Ponniyin Selvan. The epic historical drama, based on a famous Tamil novel, is being made in two parts. Mani Ratnam seized the opportunity to bring Ponniyin Selvan to life in two installments.
Now, the spotlight shifts to the dynamic and charismatic actor, Prabhas. With his undeniable star power, Prabhas is set to captivate audiences again with two highly anticipated films—Salaar and ProjectK. Both films will be released in two parts, showcasing the vast scale, span, and reach that multi-part films can achieve.
Prabhas, who rose to international fame with the Baahubali series, continues to fuel the aspirations of directors eager to explore this format’s untapped potential.
While South Indian cinema is embracing and excelling in multi-part films, Bollywood seems struggling to crack the code. The Hindi film industry is still looking for the key to success with film franchises that can match the grandeur and impact of Baahubali, KGF, and other multi-part ventures from the South. This disparity highlights the innovative and trailblazing spirit of South Indian filmmakers who are constantly pushing boundaries and venturing into uncharted territories.
The success of multi-part films not only rests on their scale and visual extravaganza but also on their ability to engage audiences with compelling storytelling. The sky is the limit as directors push their creative boundaries and actors like Prabhas become the driving force behind ambitious projects that capture viewers’ imagination.
Bollywood is betting high on the multiverse of Brahmasthra. The first part received a decent response but we have to see how things will progress for the other parts.
