Venkys Garam Masala

Venkys Garam Masala

After the betrayal of Shadow, Venkatesh must be looking for a hit.  But the multi starrer movie is not a guarantee for that as statistics show.  

With Venky’s growing out of proportions from hero looks, it may not be advisable to pair with still glamorous looking heroes. After Sithamma Vakitlo with Mahesh Babu, he is acting with Ram in his new film Garam Masala.  He should understand how many marks he will get if he shares a frame with Ram or Mahesh.  

Another factor is it is a remake of Hindi film ‘Bol Bachchan’.  Already Venkatesh had a disappointment with ‘Body Guard’ remake.  Many of the Telugu audience follow Hindi movies.  There are fans also for Hindi actors and actresses.  With that back ground why a remake is attempted is a question that nobody wants to give the right answer.  Tamil movies remake is understandable as Tamil movies are not exhibited in AP the way Hindi movies are done.  

Only answer for a remake is that it has a success track.  But the success is also contributed by AP audience! It’s like an old joke told again in detail to the irritation of the listener.  Movie makers are convinced by the directors bringing the proposal to them that the movie fared well.  It is very easy to direct as it reduces the pains taking screenplay to narrate a story.  Frame to frame adaption is done to reduce strain.  

The original movie can be shown to the artists for a repetition of the movements and expressions.  Explaining a situation does not take as much time and effort as in the original movie.  In the process everyone gets paid but the producers.  Although actors are paid, they lose a number in their list of successful movies.  Still lessons are not learnt by Telugu producers.
