Is '1' Really Experimental?

Prince Mahesh Babu's latest offing '1-Nenokkadine' has been in a discussion topic about its content. While some critics say the movie is an experimental, others say it's a pure commercial entertainer with an innovative idea and are defending their argument with following reasons.

* More than anything else, Mahesh worked hard for this movie physically. His slim look was seen in the film.

* After a long gap, Mahesh danced superbly in this film.

* The movie had hollywood range chases and fights in it.

* Many top technicians like Ratnavelu have worked for this project.

* Many psychological thrillers were earlier proved to be super hits such as NTR's 'Gudigantalu', 'Intiki Deepam Illaley', ANR's 'Punarjanma', Kamal Haasan's 'Erra Gulabeelu', 'Vikram's 'Aparichithudu', 'Suriya's 'Ghajini' etc. 

* If the makers of '1' had felt the movie as experimental, they would not have shelled in more than Rs.60 crores for the project.

BUT THEN, WHAT DID PEOPLE FEEL DIFFERENT?

* Mahesh was talkative in his previous three films. In '1' he was seen introvert. 

* Comparing with his previous films, there was less comedy in '1'. 

CONCLUSION: '1'  is not that experimental as some people feel it so. There might be different reasons for the movie's result.
