Stripes cannot turn Kollywood Cat into Tollywood Tiger

Gone are the days when Kollywood set a trend for pan-India films few decades back with sensational and breathtaking films. However, ever since the sensation of Rajamouli's magnumm opus Baahubali which created a global sensation and grossed Rs 1000crs, the craze for pan India entertainers and Rs 1000crs looked like a golden goose for other industries.

Rajamouli's triple sensations, Baahubali 1 &2, RRR and inbetween the mindblowing performances of films like Kalki, Pushpa The Rule in Tollywood and Sandalwood strikes like KGF franchise and Bollywood film Animal, badly hurt the pride of the entire Kollywood and Tamil Tambis took it as a prestige issue.

Ever since Baahubali The Beginning, Kollywood makers went on a mission to come up with their own Baahubali to make fun of other industries. They came up with films like Puli, Kanguva, Ponniyin Selvan, Jailer, LEO, GOAT,Indian 2, Game Changer,Vettaiyan, Vikram, Master and now Coolie and before all these films, Tamil Tambis and the producers and directors used to boast that the films will break Rs 1000crs records.

However, all of them turned out to be disasters. This once again exposed Kollywood filmmakers shallow claims and hollow arguments and whenever they fail, Tamil Tambis come up with lame excuses saying that they give importance to their roots, their culture and numbers donot matter for them.

They fail to realise that stars, combinations, banners etc will not give them 1000crs blockbusters. Neither VFX and CGI also donot guarantee any blockbuster and box office collections. Even mere cameos from various stars cannot propel the collections to the next level. Tamil Tambis should stop turning jealous and burning in their minds and hearts and introspect in the right earnest. Otherwise their quest for Rs 1000crs will remain a distant mirage and they willbe chasing a wild goose chase.

They should come with strong story, racy screenplay and powerful peformances and captivating visuals and honesty and dedication rather than get blinded by their ego and hurt sentiments. Their ego and false prestige and living in the lost and past glory will result in their downslide even at a faster rate and in the process they have to see few more Rs 1000crs sensations in the form of SSMB29, Kalki 2, Spirit, AA22xA6.

Rajamouli paved the way for pan India market and almost all the Tollywood stars and directors are exploring them in the right earnest and are not deviating from the track and in a way they mastered the art of Rs 1000crs box office collections more often than not.
