What are the best commercial flicks delivered by Puri Jagan till date? Pawan Kalyan’s charismatic ‘Badri’, Mahesh Babu’s mass bonanza ‘Pokiri’ and Bunny’s energetic ‘Desamuduru’ top the list without any second thoughts.
But still, they are avoided by our so called event organisers and producers who think that fans of one particular hero can’t digest looking at photos of other heroes. Yesterday when a show-reel was shown to praise the greatness of Puri Jagan at ‘Temper’ audio launch, definitely the video looked incomplete and faulty, as best of Puri’s movies like Badri, Pokiri, Desamuduru and Sivamani were left out.
Only clips from his Idiot, Neninthe and Heart Attack were shown. The reasons are obvious, both Raviteja and Nitin have many neutral fans while Pawan, Mahesh, Nagarjuna and Bunny are of a different league.
In case if the event organisers left out the names and visuals of these flicks just for the reason that the function belongs to a star Nandamuri hero, then they have surely done a mistake. Like ace producer Dil Raju said recently, a film will become blockbuster only if fans of all other heroes do watch it from second day.
Thinking that fans will not accept, these makers are creating unnecessary divide. Otherwise why Puri’s best films are avoided? We have to come out of the cocoon!!
