A love track for formality, five songs and three fights, mandatory ‘item song’, massive elevation of the lead character’s heroism etc are some of the ingredients in the standard ‘formula’ films designed by top commercial directors such as Puri Jagan, VV Vinayak and Boyapati Srinu.
However, as times change, people and their lifestyles change too along with their interests.
As legendary director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao once said, “It is very important for a filmmaker to stay abreast of the times failing which he will become irrelevant.”
Vinayak has given two shockers in the form of Akhil and Intelligent.
Puri Jagan is finding it tough to even get big heroes to listen to his scripts and as for Boyapati, Vinaya Vidheya Rama has been labeled as a serious insult to the intelligence of the audiences.
Looking at the box-office response to these films makes one wonder: Is it over for formula directors?
