Movie lovers angry with Filmmakers craze for sequels

Movie lovers angry with Filmmakers' craze for Sequels. Of late, Tollywood is coming with Sequels or duology not ending the films in the first part but making viewers wait for the second part.

The fascination or obsession for the duology increased ever since Rajamouli's sensation with Baahubali. But what they are conveniently forgetting the fact is that Rajamouli after Baahubali, ended his film RRR in single part and even his next project SSMB29 is not a duology.

Recent releases, NTR's Devara, Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu, Vijay Devarakonda's Kingdom and earlier Prabhas' Salaar and Kalki 2898 AD turned out to be duologys. Prabhas got so vexed up that he decided that his next films will end in single part and will not be a duology.

It is known that the story telling in Devara, Hari Hara Veera Mallu and Kingdom got impacted by the makers obsession for duologys which made them drag the screenplay and narration unnecessarily.

Fans expressed their anger in the following way.

“Please stop making second halves just to set up a part 2. Tell the full story in one film. The second half felt very weak to me. It started like a blockbuster but ended as an average movie. It’s like they ruined a good film just to create a cliffhanger for the next part. #Kingdom,” wrote one person.

“Tollywood should stop this part-1 part-2 s**t. Potential una movies ani biscuit ipothunay. (It’s ruining movies with potential) if producers need money make quality movies and mint the money not in the name of Sequels.. #Kingdom,” wrote one X user, blaming producers.

“@SitharaEnts why did you remove #hridayamLopala song? Heroine enduku? Enduku andi 2 parts audience meeda ruduthunaru? KGF reference? (Sithara Entertainments why did you remove Hridayam Lopala song? Why’s the heroine there? Why are you insisting the audience with films in 2 parts? KGF reference?)”

#Kingdom Its a misfire in terms of either writing or the final edit - this entire 2 part concept has killed the storytelling of films. Kingdom doesn't work out as a stand alone film. Yes the climax has the same potential in terms of Salaar/Kalki but it doesn't feel right here.”

“stop force-fitting 2-3 parts into every film. Felt unnecessary in Devara, and now this too.”
