In my opinion, the Dada Saheb Phalke Award 2025 does signal a gradual shift. Consider the last decade: Rajinikanth, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, and now Mohanlal—all non-Bollywood legends. This pattern indicates growing respect for regional industries. Streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime have also boosted this transition. Viewers across India now watch Malayalam, Tamil, or Kannada films with subtitles, which was rare before. So while Bollywood remains dominant, the monopoly is cracking. The award is just one reflection of this larger cultural shift.
