Prakash Raj isn’t holding back again, and this time he’s calling out Bollywood for feeling fake as hell, like those waxy figures at Madame Tussauds staring blankly at you. He says the old-school grit and heart that made Hindi movies pop are fading fast into this shiny, empty vibe.
Meanwhile, he’s all fired up about South Indian cinema, especially from Malayalam and Tamil scenes. These films hit different because they’re real—powered by killer scripts and stories that feel straight from life, not some glossy ad campaign. Forget massive budgets or A-list egos; it’s the honest stuff that sticks.
What really gets him buzzing? This crop of bold young Tamil directors diving headfirst into tough topics like caste struggles and Dalit lives that nobody else touches. That kind of gutsy storytelling? It’s the shot of hope Indian movies need right now.
Sure, Bollywood fans might bristle, but Prakash is voicing what a ton of us movie junkies think anyway. In a world obsessed with explosions and glamour, it’s the raw, norm-shaking tales that remind us why we love films in the first place.
