The director of the movie "Tribanadhari Barbarik," Mohan Srivatsa, recently expressed his frustration and disappointment over the film's poor performance at the box office. The movie, starring Sathyaraj, Vassishta Simha and Udayabhanu, received a good response from critics but failed to attract a large audience. Srivatsa's emotional outburst, where he hit himself with his shoe and burst into tears, has gone viral on social media.
The director's reaction highlights the challenges faced by filmmakers in the current industry, where content is king. With big budget movies like "War 2" and "Coolie" underperforming, it's clear that audiences are selective about what they watch. On the other hand, movies with good content, like the animation film "Mahavathar Narasimha," are showering collections. Srivatsa's concerns about the Telugu audience's preference for foreign language content or movies with specific themes are also noteworthy.
Mohan Srivatsa's dedication to his craft is evident in his emotional outburst. He worked tirelessly for two and a half years on "Tribanadhari Barbarik" and was confident about the film's quality. The fact that a few audience members appreciated the movie but didn't contribute to its box office success has left him puzzled. Srivatsa's decision to take his talents to the Malayalam industry and prove himself there is a bold move that will be closely watched by the film fraternity.
The director's experience serves as a valuable lesson for filmmakers and producers. It emphasizes the importance of understanding audience preferences and creating content that resonates with them. While "Tribanadhari Barbarik" may not have done well at the box office, it has sparked a conversation about the film industry and the challenges faced by creators.
