While some heroes understand and analyze the ongoing trends before selecting a project or script, looks like Balakrishna isn’t so. He just follows rigidly, the age old formula of heroic elevation and emotional drive which might pay most of the times. Into the Pongal race, ‘Dictator’ from director Sriwass is getting divided response from audience in some centers while in areas where Balayya following is intact, the reaction is just thunderous.
As said earlier in the review portion too, Balakrishna did not try different or anything new on experimentation for his 99th film. He just followed a safe screenplay and decayed storyline which is successfully utilized by him-self many a number of times in ‘Samara Simha Reddy, Narasimha Naidu’ and Legend’ kind of films.
Result is, ‘Dictator’ is roaring in B and C class centers where some of the audience would just love Nata Simham mouthing those heavy duty dialogues going on massive massacre of goons. A bit of more cautiousness added into second half of film could have delivered further more goose bumping result. Whatever, Balakrishna is happy as his Fans are pleased.
