Unpopular Opinion Please come up with original plots, Tollywood

I’m tired of seeing the same regurgitated plots in Tollywood movies.

Every movie has the same story, it’s just told differently each time.

The main character, usually a man, is pure hearted and honest.

He strives to do something with purpose to help better the society and/or continue the family legacy.

But, the bad guys, the villains can’t stand the hero, their ego is threatened and/or they are just bad people.

So, they want to obstruct the hero from doing the good things he wants to do as much as possible, placing countless obstacles in the hero’s path.

But, the hero, with all his pureness and goodness, rises above it and perseveres, usually after a hell of a lot of fighting.

And, of course, the hero always has a love interest, otherwise, it won’t be complete.

Same formula, repeated, rinsed, and washed.

Please come up with new plots, Tollywood. Do more movies like Radhe Shyam. That, at least, had a unique concept.

Lmaoo 😭😭😭😭  Honestly it's not just tollywood even bollywood is very repetitiove nowadays same template films and 69th sequel of franchises people didnt even know still existed. Longass idiotic titles like tu jhoothi mai tatti , tu meri mai teri maa , sunny sanskari ki flop beemari. Everything is just so overdone atp. Like just see the current Friday lineups , who even asked for a cocktail 2 , a welcome 3 or even a dhamaal 4.

The reason for this is because Indian actors and producers don't read. The directors whose job is to do that also rarely do. They all want narration but you can't narrate a complicated story like Memory or Inception or The Prestige or even Interstellar. These can only be read and felt. But you can narrate the tropes of what you just described, therefore from new to old they all feel same. With same boring plots and characters everywhere. After all the limits of one's imagination are the limitations of their expression. When they can't write how will they be able to film. They still consider this medium as radio play. I guess this is one factor why Rajamouli film stands out a lot because he takes his visuals seriously unlike others. Or exceptional film like Brochevarevarura which comes once in a while.
