The divided talk written by reviewers for DJ Duvvada Jagannadham hasn’t sent good signals to Bunny and team. Recently DJ team was in US promoting the film but to their disappointment, there is no much hike in collections just because reviewers gave the movie a poor rating.
En route from California, Allu Arjun expressed his displeasure over piracy and reviewers in an interview.
Bunny has given a sweet warning to reviewers and common public that reviews are nothing but a personal opinion of a person’s feeling. But what makes difference is that his personal view on a movie is printed and spread across social media, other channels.
Bunny also suggested reviewers not to turn a blind eye on Telugu commercial movies. He also highlighted the importance of commercial movie in Box Office terms and difficulties involved in making a hit commercial film satisfying the public.
Interestingly some his comments made sense and a few not.
It is true that Indian commercial cinema carries multiple genres like action, comedy, love, sentiment and story that need to be taken care of whereas other international movies just have two genres.
But what Bunny forgets is that reviewers are not blind enough to wash out a commercial movie.
What to say, Baahubali is also a commercial movie that critics lapped because of novelty in making and so was Srimantudu.
Bunny, what reviewers want is a good and entertaining movie with a touch of novelty.
You can’t keep telling us the same story with routine content and ask for a 4 star verdict.
Sometimes critics might write off a movie but public are smart enough to tackle with it. For example, Sarrainodu has been completely written off but public made it a block buster hit.
With DJ, though it turned out to be an average grosser due to other reasons like timing of release, positions of theaters yet public gave thumbs down.
So Bunny, take it light and concentrate on nurturing better flicks that has novelty in script writing and execution instead of putting the blame on critics.
