Nara Rohit’s one wrong move of closing to mass audience with Balakrishnudu has clearly backfired. The film released last week suffered a massive beating at Box Office and critics panned Rohit for such wrong selection.
At a time when Rohit’s career is going decently with class and content rich movies, there was no necessity for him to go crazy at Balakrishnudu made on a beaten to death faction formula devoid of all logics. Making an attempt to reach larger audience isn’t a bad idea but picking Balakrishnudu proved problematic.
Rohit says, ‘I know Balakrishnudu is not a new story. But, it was new for me because never in my long career I tried a complete commercial meter entertainer.’ That’s where he seems to have gone completely in wrong assumption. Rohit might be new for Balakrishnudu genre but not audience.
This can be an early wakeup call for Rohit not to eye on such genres because his niche is experimentation with fresh thoughts.
