Of late, a trend has been started by cine folks that heroes who took the film are innocent but directors who made it are cunning and out of ideas. When ‘1 Nenokkadine’ flopped, they have abused Sukumar and for Govindudu Andarivadele’s dismal performance they blamed Ram Charan.
Even though a star like Mahesh Babu claimed that a failure belongs to whole team not just director alone, people never stopped blaming Srinu Vytla after Aagadu’s flop show. Same is the case with S Shankar now.
Though many youngsters and families are enjoying the fictional entertainment delivered by Shankar on silver screen through ‘I’, audiences who consider themselves as critics are venting fumes at Shankar. They say that Vikram has done his part well but Shankar failed to come up with brilliant story.
However when a film turns big hit, they call it as a hero’s movie but never give the sole credit to director. Gabbar Singh, Dookudu and Race Gurram successes are always attributed to heroes, though directors get credit that will be quite fewer.
Probably we should stop blaming directors when film flops, as we don’t praise them to the core when a film turns blockbuster. Else, we need to accept the fact that hit or flop is a collective team effort.
