Sometimes titles decide the fate of films and the recent examples are Chi La Sow and Srinivasa Kalyanam. The films failed at the box office as the title didn’t connect chords with the movie lovers. Sometimes anti sentiments too work against the films. Though use of yesteryear classic film titles for the latest films may attract movie lovers, little diversion and deviation will have drastic results.
The fate of the films like Mayabazar, Missamma, Vijetha, Adivi Ramudu, Vetagadu, Rangula Ratnam, Chandralekha is well known. Most of them turned out to be average or disasters. Except for Venkatesh’s Malliswari and Ram’s Devdas, none the films with titles of yesteryear classics turned out super hits.
Nithin is now trying his luck with Bheeshma. In the film Nithin will be seen as a bachelor. NTR starred in the classic Bheeshma and that was a mythological entertainer. So better the makers think twice before playing with T-Fire.
