WHAT IS TO BE LEARNT?: 

WHY SHOULD A FANTASY ENTERTAINER BE MADE?: 83 years of Tollywood's history acknowledges high success percentage of folklore entertainers irrespective of the period of their releases. If everything of the movie making is perfectly set, sky is the limit for the successes of these films in spite of the regional and religious differences and barriers. 

FILMMAKERS AND ARTISTS SHOULD CHANGE THEIR MINDSETS: Many actors, script writers and other technicians do not have interest on folklore entertainers. They need to change their mindsets for the sake of better quality and genre of the films. 

HOW CAN THEY GET STORIES?: Read 'Kasi Majili Kathalu'( a compilation of 12 books in Grandhika Telugu) that sounds an age old story meant for only old people, but offers you immense pleasure consisting lot of adventures and great romance among the lead characters. 'Bhatti Vikramarka', old 'Chandamama' and 'Bommarillu' books are preferable to be read. Don't forget watching NTR and Kantha Rao's folklore entertainers. 

WHAT IS NOT TO BE LEARNT FROM 'BAAHUALI'?: 

* Baahubali's success has given such an impression that only very high budgeted folklore movies would pay off at the ticket windows. In fact, lack of knowledge and skills of making folklore entertainers bestows such an impression among the filmmakers. A highly talented and skilled technician can make a super duper hit with quite reasonable budget. 

* Most of the success credit of 'Baahubali' is due to unconditional support extended by the media that finally, left the audiences no chance to watch any other movie instead of 'Baahubali'. As such, don't get such a perception that everything of the movie is good. Frankly, the movie has many demerits comparing merits.

* Heroism is very essential to be shown in folklore entertainers. A hero must be well trained and should possess all the warrior skills. 'Baahubali' has received brickbats here.

* Never get inspired from 'Harry Potter' series movies, because they lacked Indian nativity. 

* Themes which have conspiracies and politics among kings, minsters etc., as in the case of 'Baahubali', are not always flagged off. Hence, concentrate  more on movies that have black magic, sorcerers, witchcrarft, demons and magicians.
