Pattudala Poor Performance A Wake Up Call for Ajith

Ajith who began his career with a Telugu film has become a massive star in Tamil cinema. Unlike his contemporaries Vijay Suriya and Vikram who have been trying to capture the Telugu market Ajith seems to have taken the Telugu market for granted. His films often get dubbed into Telugu and become hits earning him a considerable following in the Telugu speaking audience. However his lack of interest in promoting his films in Telugu has now started to show its effects.

Ajith latest film Pattudala the Telugu dubbed version of Vidaamuyarchi has failed to make any noise at the box office. The film which was released with zero promotions received mixed reviews in Tamil and failed to impress the Telugu audience. The film lack of fan base in Telugu combined with the absence of any positive word of mouth has resulted in a disaster. Analysts believe that Ajith persistence in ignoring the Telugu market may ultimately harm his career in Tamil as well.

Reviews of Pattudala have been scathing with many critics panning the film content. The love story between Ajith and Trisha has been criticized for being boring and lacking chemistry. Anirudh songs have also failed to connect with the audience. The film first half has been particularly criticized for being dull with the hero being portrayed as a dummy.

The failure of Pattudala in Telugu has raised questions about Ajith career strategy. Will he revise his approach and start promoting his films in Telugu or will he continue to ignore the market Only time will tell but one thing is certain Ajith persistence in ignoring the Telugu market may ultimately harm his career in Tamil as well.
