Directors testing audience's patience Tollywood Jr NTR Meher Ramesh Shakti VV Vinayak Allu Arjun Badrinath Anaganaga O Dheerudu

These are days where audiences are expecting creative intelligence to make a flick create records at the BO. To fulfill their desires, film makers are coming up with unique content to mint money. While some are clicking, others are evaporating in the air in the first week of their release. Trends changed with the advent of young and energetic hero Ram Charan's 'Magadheera'. Director Rajamouli etched the best out of Ram Charan for a superb content with his creative vision and artistic taste. After seeing the grand success of 'Magadheera', many directors took the same way to score an equivalent hit. First to come is veteran director Raghavendra Rao Son, Prakash's 'Anaganaga O Dheerudu'. Touted to be a fantasy flick, no part of the movie enchanted the audience despite of the big tags like Disney, Siddharth, Shruti Hassan attached with it. The flick tested the patience of audience before joining the group of below average grosser. Then, there comes this 'Shakti', directed by Meher Ramesh that has Jr NTR in the lead. Though the movie starts on a powerful note with interesting 'Shakti Peetam' concept, the plot lacks depth alongside pale narration. The high openings received by 'Shakti' cannot pull the entire investment of producer Ashwini Dutt back is the bottom line for this flick. Now, Allu Arjun's flick 'Badrinath' under the direction of VV Vinayak is coming to test the serenity of movie-lovers. When will our directors show their originality rather than torturing audience with their copy-cat ideas, is a million dollar question that is to be answered.
