Verdict is out. ‘NTR Mahanayakudu’ has been declared as all-time disaster of Tollywood.
The second part of NTR Biopic has collapsed totally at box-office on its first Monday.
Let’s look at five reasons behind the movie’s debacle.
Splitting into Two Parts
The life story of N T Rama Rao makes a good biopic which cannot be denied. The great actor-politian had seen many ups and downs in his checkered life.
He had ruled the movie industry for decades, became chief minister within nine months after forming the Telugu Desam party, a record that remains even today, but he was backstabbed by two times, and his own family members didn’t look after him in his last days.
He had many great qualities, also saw many criticisms for some of his deeds. All in all, his life has enough drama needed for a biopic.
However, the two parts didn’t show his life fully, only showed his virtues, which lacked drama on the screen.
Bhajana of NTR and CBN
In the second part of NTR Biopic, Nara Chandra Babu Naidu got more footage, almost on par with NTR the protagonist.
The promos too had shown the same. This has made people to think that the biopic is an exercise to do Babu Bajana. Thus late NTR fans too stayed away from entering the theaters.
On the other hand, sequences like Indira Gandhi doing Namaskaram to NT Rama Rao’s cutout didn’t go well with majority of section of audiences and they too have not stepped into the theaters.
Lackluster direction
Although Krish has directed many films, he is never considered as a mass director. His films have limited appeal.
In an attempt to finish the movie fast, Krish’s writing and direction took a beating. Of all the movies he has made, this one has lousiest narration.
As one critic pointed out correctly, his direction is “stagey” and drama is theatrical.
First Part Killing the Interest
The massive failure of the part one has killed the interest on the second part. Not only that people didn’t turn up to the theaters for the first part, those who had seen it on Amazon prime also didn’t like it and they posted negative reports about the first part on social media.
Thus even die-hard Nandamuri Balakrishna fans also stayed away from “Mahanayakudu”.
Indication of People Vexed Up with Yellow Gang
People are vexed up with Chandrababu Naidu and his “yellow” gang’s overtures from the past few months. People in Telangana have realized their “extras” and cut them to their size.
In Andhra Pradesh too, the winds are changing. As RGV wondered perhaps the film’s massive debacle also reflects the current mood of the Andhraites.
