In recent times, Bollywood has been called out for its shameless acts of copying Hollywood or Regional movies. Even Aamir Khan’s recent movie – Laal Singh Chadha faced a lot of criticism for being a copy of well renowned Hollywood movie – Forrest Gump.
But, recently, when a Twitter user shared a video of how 35 scenes from director SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali were copied from Hollywood movies, many were left shocked. No one ever imagined that SS Rajamouli, who is regarded as one of the most brilliant filmmakers in India, could have copied scenes from Hollywood movies. After watching the video, many of his fans felt cheated.
A video was originally shared by the Twitter account ‘Gems of Southwood’ and later was circulated by many people online. Have a look:

South indian film directors like SS Rajamouli and Shankar copy from Hollywood movies?
I think those Audiences who purchased ticket to watch his copycat movies should get refund.
I see No original work in Rajamouli film. copying others without credit
Bahulabi is just a mashup of hollywood copied scenes with indian masala
