For every type of content, there is an expiry date. And if filmmakers are ignoring that, then their career will get expired. In recent times, this phenomenon is proved a couple of times. Have a look at it.
Last time Sreenu Vaitla spoke about a disorder and the result is clear. And then we have award winning director Ayodhya Kumar talking about a kissing fetish and the result is once again super clear. Wonder why Amar Akbar Antony and 24 Kisses ended up as such huge disasters? Here is a theory.
It is already said many times that the young generation has a new mindset and any filmmaker should play as per that. While picking a story on bipolar disorder is not wrong in the case of Amar Akbar Antony, but Vaitla has to pack it with some realistic elements than showcasing hero as a superhero without a cape.
In the same manner, one needs a good story with nice conflict points around 24 kisses, but mere kisses won’t do any magic. Gone are the days where people come to theatres to watch just a kiss, because YouTube and Netflix are offering much bold stuff than that.
So if anyone is coming up with a simple characterization for a film with only hero’s disorder or with a story that is based on just one kiss, then they are gone. Sample this: Both Arjun Reddy and RX100 had more story and screenplay than kisses and intimate scenes. That’s why they clicked.
