From being severely limited to regionalism and regional languages, Indians have come a very long way within the last decade. In a country where Bollywood is preached as a religion, a South Indian Movie like Baahubali is one of the top grosser till date. In the past few years, there is a certain sense of appreciation among the movie-goers for the content of the movie and not its language.
