Bobby Kolli on Why His Films Lack Rewatch Value
Bobby Kolli Reflects on the Rewatch Value of His Films
Director Bobby Kolli, popularly known as KS Ravindra, is riding high on the success of his recent blockbuster Waltair Veerayya, a multi-starrer featuring Megastar Chiranjeevi and Ravi Teja. With this success under his belt, Bobby is now gearing up for his next big project, Daaku Maharaj, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, slated for release this Sankranthi.
In a recent interview with Gulte.com, Bobby opened up about several aspects of his filmmaking journey, including an interesting discussion on the rewatch value of his films on OTT platforms and television. While his movies often enjoy tremendous theatrical success, their reception for repeat viewing falls short compared to classics.
Why Bobby Kolli Films Lack Rewatch Value
When asked about the relatively low rewatchability of his films, Bobby shared his perspective. He believes the true rewatch value of a film is something that evolves over time. Bobby explained that his debut film, Power, is only a decade old, and it might take longer for audiences to revisit and appreciate his works like Jai Lava Kusa.
Bobby compared this phenomenon to iconic films such as Kushi and Indra, which were released over 20 years ago. These movies, he stated, have stood the test of time, becoming fan favorites for multiple rewatches over decades.
The Longevity Factor
According to Bobby, films with enduring rewatch value often gain appreciation as time passes. He expressed optimism that movies like Jai Lava Kusa might find a similar place in the hearts of audiences in the future. “Maybe ten years later, people will revisit and enjoy them,” he remarked.
As Bobby gears up for Daaku Maharaj, he continues to balance the art of delivering mass appeal with the hope that his films will resonate with audiences long after their initial release.
Time Will Decide
While Bobby’s explanation offers an intriguing perspective, only time will tell if his films achieve the timelessness he hopes for. For now, fans are eagerly waiting to see what the talented filmmaker has in store with Daaku Maharaj.
