The biggest advantage of being a successful writer first is you have a perfect idea on where to pitch the story, where to land it? More than story, Koratala Siva learnt many scripting lessons by working under star directors. All this experience is coming in very handy in his new innings as a director. The simple drawback or say the clever knack in Koratala is he caught Telugu audience mass pulse very firmly.
‘Mirchi’ hasn’t got any brand new story. It was the screenplay and treatment wherein presenting Prabhas in stylish best has done the magic. ‘Srimanthudu’ is also a tested storyline. However, the blending of commercial elements on Super Star like Mahesh Babu is real reason which landed the movie into an industry hit spot. As a writer, Koratala’s pen showed the sparks in both but his directorial abilities magnified more.
Coming to ‘Janatha Garage’ teaser released couple of days back Koratala is back to what he is a master at. There’s nothing great in teaser. Again, it’s the magnanimity in seeing Junior NTR and Mohan Lal together on screen for the first time left a deep impact. Dialogues from Tarak underlined the basic theme which appeared to be run-of-the-mill. The inference is transparent. The writer in Koratala is half active while the director in him is enchanting.
