What is happening to Telugu Cinema?

I never thought I would write about movies in my blog. As an ardent movie fan, I could not stop myself writing this in agony and pain. If anyone of you been watching Telugu Cinema trend these days, you would know why I am writing this.

Its been ages that I watched and loved a Telugu movie to the core.After Prasthanam, I did not even like any movie. What is wrong? Looks like Telugu directors and Script writers are out of ideas. I hate the directors like Srinu Vaitla, who just think that the audience and part of his movie characters are idiots. Just check the movies King, Ready and even Namo Venkatesha, you would know. I am not sure if one could find such characters in real life.

Gone are those days, where you were laughing just looking at Brahmanandam on the screen. Gone are those days when comedy was really comic enough. If you just think having Brahmi could pull the crowds to the movie, well, not anymore. Feel sick these days to see Brahmi, Venu Madhav even Ali on the screen.

I must mention one of the movies that I watched recently, Darling. Directed by Karunakaran. Only at the interval, after spending like one and half hour of you valuable (?) time, you were let know that, all that happened  until now was a story and nothing actually happened. Do they think, they are showing two movies on one ticket, or do they just don't care about what the viewers might feel like. Checkout Shakthi, they make us believe that, the Egyptians came to India, on horses in early 1980s to get hold of some power. Yes. we have to appreciate the director and the hero to, for not putting their minds at that idea itself.

Checkout the hero characters in the movies. They hero is a fresh grad with no intention to work but only wants to go behind the heroine. Check the movie "Wanted". The hero parents do not want the hero to work but only get spoiled and they even bribe police to get him out of jail. What message do these movies send out?

Most of the dubbed Tamil movies are doing better at box office. Do we really have to cry on them? No. Not at all. Checkout, Na Peru Siva (Naan Mahan Allan) and Rangam (Kho). No idiotic comedy. No buffoon comedians. Just story. Yes. Not because of the heroes, not because of the exposing of the heroine and not definitely because of the budget of the film those movies clicked. Those movies made sense.

Unfortunately, I can not give any solution except to hope for better movies. Wish, our directors listen.
