Now a days the discussion of the movie starts with budget
right from the launch to post release. Nobody measures, whether the movie was
good or average or anything else. It’s all about collections. Thanks to the web
world where we instantly get the geographical share of the movies, which serve
no purpose at all to the cinegoers, except for the argument among fan clubs. Earlier trade pundits used to compare/predict
the current movie range with past movies of the same Hero or Director or
production house but presently the comparison is orange to apple, Prabhas vs
NTR vs Mahesh vs Pawan Kalyan. I believe (with my limited knowledge), the whole
hype around collection facilitates the producers to arrange the finances to launch/float
and sell the forthcoming productions.
NTR’s last outing as Temper was highest grocer in his entire
career so far, that does not prove this is the best product. We have seen his potential in Simhadri, Rakhi many more and Puri's in Idiot, Pokiri n Neninthe. Same way Loukyam
& Pandaga Chesko, template movies declared hit in terms of collections but
what about the movie content, except locations everything including dialogues was same
from previous templates from writer duo.
Mahesh’s “1”, so far the best attempt at the thriller genre
by a top league actor and director in the recent past. But then the debacle of the
movie apparently forced Mahesh to stop experimenting and he pulled himself out of
Maniratnam’s bilingual project with Nagarjuna. This project is now underway with Karthi and
Dulquer Salman, recent heartthrob of Molly & Kollywood.
The point here is we do not mind a good movie raking moolah,
because end of the day, a hit movie makes the whole industry, starting from a
light man to cinematographer, happy and works as a “Sacred Fig” for many small
scale movies. But the issue is gauzing the movie quality by its Crore club
achievement.
100 Crore or 100 Days, which the real yardstick! Discussion
starts here….
...Venkaat!
