Ugramm, KGF, Salaar, #NTR31 and now, Bagheera: Prashant Neel’s grayscale obsession amuses fans; warn it can get tiresome

Yesterday, on the occasion of NTR Jr’s birthday, the makers of his upcoming film revealed a first look. Amid the excitement of what could be in store with this collaboration, netizens couldn’t help but notice a pattern in the first looks of characters from Prashant’s film, including the muted grey tone, which sparked some interesting conversations online.

From calling Prashant colour blind to saying that he follows a one-dimensional approach to movie-making and more, netizens had much to say about the director’s ‘dark world’. Sample this:

"Prashant Neel seems to be awestruck by KGF so much that he is using same colour grade and theme in his every directions from here on , but why ? He should come out of KGF atleast , let it be memorable . Anyways , happy fo #NTR as he has big projects ."

"Next Ramgopal Verma. One genre Director with same pattern of filmmaking."

"Prashant Neel should stop making same genre movies otherwise It will effect his career & He should think about new and different concepts."

"Just Prashant Neel Things🥲, He's literally tryin' to make a multiverse, With a Dark Tone, Humble request sir, come out of this Dark shade, the audience ve enough of it."

"Neel is eventually gonna burn out if he isn't switching genres or changing that theme... Probably to a point where over the top sequences should be added just to induce goosebumps, which anyway won't have an impact after already seeing tons of it in his last two."

"He said he knows that he is going stale with this genre at some point.. But till then he will do movies in this genre itself.. But what I feel is this genre will get outdated very soon bcz other filmmakers also gonna follow it."

Some even saw humour in the filmmaker’s dark world. “Anchor: Ur favourite Movie Prashant Neel sir.. Prashant Neel: Black Panther...🖤🖤"

"Prashant Neel - Dark lives matter 🫶🏾"
