NTR Expresses Discontent Over Increasing Audience Criticism
Devara’s Success and Mixed Reactions
NTR’s recent film, Devara, has been a financial success, and the team is confident about the prospects of the second part as well. However, despite its commercial success, the movie has received mixed reactions from audience. Many have pointed out weak aspects of the film, and this has led to some negative criticism online.
NTR’s Displeasure with the Critical Audience
In an interview with India Today, NTR opened up about his dissatisfaction with what he believes to be an overly critical audience. According to a report by Times of India, NTR expressed that the current generation of viewers has become too focused on finding faults, leading to a growing trend of negativity around films.
Audience Shift: From Enjoyment to Overanalysis
NTR commented on how the behavior of moviegoers has changed over the years. He explained that people used to watch movies for pure entertainment. However, now, many viewers approach films with a critical mindset, overanalyzing scenes and storylines instead of simply enjoying the experience. The RRR actor lamented that this change is taking away from the joy of cinema.
The Future of Audience Perception
Despite his concerns, NTR remained hopeful about the future. He believes that audience perceptions may correct themselves over time, returning to a more balanced and enjoyable way of viewing films. He added that while making a movie that entertains audiences in every frame is a challenging task, there are still films that receive widespread appreciation.
Global Cinema’s Influence on Audience Expectations
NTR also hinted that the exposure to global cinema may be one reason why Indian audiences have become more critical. With the availability of international films and high-budget productions, viewers are more likely to compare domestic films to global standards. This has raised expectations, making it harder for filmmakers to meet them consistently.
Balancing Criticism with Appreciation
While NTR understands that not all films can please every audience member, he hopes for a more balanced approach. He emphasized that criticism is an essential part of improving cinema but believes that it should be constructive rather than unnecessarily harsh.
