"Jr NTR & Saif Ali Khan in a Clash of the Titans with Strong BGM but Poor VFX, Confusing Plot & Disappointing Dub, Blockbuster Status in Danger?" — this is what the popular Bollywood media portal Koimoi wrote today.
Bollywood is keen on this film, as it marks Janhvi Kapoor's debut in Telugu cinema and features Saif Ali Khan in an antagonist role opposite NTR.
However, Bollywood media seems more disappointed with the poor dubbing quality and the lackluster VFX, which fail to generate organic interest in the film.
"The Devara: Part 1 trailer could have shined with its larger-than-life action sequences, but the execution isn’t quite what we expected," noted Koimoi.
The trailer review concluded with the line, "Strong content is the only hope."
We will have to see how Koratala Siva addresses this negative feedback from Bollywood, possibly by releasing another captivating trailer with a more blockbuster appeal.
While it's true that strong content drives the film’s overall collections, a well-cut trailer is crucial for generating strong openings.
A strong opening is always an indication of stardom and the potential to break records. Such hype could ensure the film's full box office run, provided the content resonates with the audience.
