Samantha’s ‘Shaakunthalam’ which came out last Friday has cleared all the assumptions that a movie with grand visuals and big sets will amaze people. A movie needs proper storytelling in order to be successful. This is the reason why ‘Shaakunthalam’ which was made with a budget of over 50 crores has turned out to be a huge disaster. The movie’s collections are very poor on the weekend and trade experts predict a huge loss coming the way of distributors.
Despite having sympathy towards Samantha’s hard work and Gunasekhar’s passion for making such historic movies, people are not daring to enter the theatres to watch this movie. The lack of emotional connection and miscasting of the lead actors along with the artificial settings made the film a huge failure. Looking at this response, fans of Prabhas are fearing ‘Adipurush’ too. Not just the fans but the movie’s team is also scared about what would happen on June 16th.
As we know, the visuals and graphics in ‘Adipurush’ teaser were trolled heavily and the audience feel that the shortcomings of ‘Shaakunthalam’ will be visible in Prabhas’ mythological drama too. Due to the negative response it received, the team postponed the release in order to work on the special effects. Though they could improve the visuals a bit, one cannot change the entire movie.
Fantasy and historic movies create wonders at the box office if they are presented in an impressive manner. But things go down south instantly when the audience feel disappointed by the movie. We need to wait and see if ‘Adipurush’ falls into the ‘Shaakunthalam’ category or ‘RRR’ & ‘Tanhaji’ category.
As we know, Prabhas will be seen as lord Ram in this movie and director Om Raut said many times that the ‘Baahubali’ hero is the perfect choice to play such an iconic role. In this movie, Kriti Sanon will be seen as Sita while Sunny Singh is Lakshmana. Saif Ali Khan played the role of antagonist Lankesh in the movie. T-Series produced this movie which will be released on 16th June in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam languages. Om Raut is the director.
