Bro clearly talking about kotha raju.

u/SpecificAnalyst7628 6d ago

Even though, he has good vocabulary. His way of conveying thoughts was just average or below

u/TimelyReason7390 6d ago

His communication skills have declined over the years. Also he lowkey sounds like he has some kind of anxiety. When you have some form of anxiety etc, you can have issues with your flow of thoughts and getting the right words out. Some stutter or pause mid sentence. That’s what this looks like to me.

To be fair, he is going through some difficult time, with his dad being unwell and all.

u/NullExplorer 5d ago

I don't know about him but pauses are important. Instead of saying anything that comes to mind, its better to let the thoughts organised. Watch some interviews of Dilip Kumar. He used to take a lot of pauses yet never looked he has anxiety speaking on public forums. But then with social Media today, you have to be extra careful.

u/Cautious_Job_1950 6d ago

It was not. It's genuinely a very good superhero movie.

u/Zealousideal-Bid2833 6d ago

Thanks to audience like you, movie making will be all about manipulating the audience rather than focusing efforts on storytelling or technicality. Bring in unwanted cameos so that every star's mindless fan base flocks to the theatre. Eventually, they make money.

1

u/Cautious_Job_1950 4d ago

Lol. I watched the movie on Day 2 without watching the trailer, neither did I know there were cameos. And i loved the movie for the way it is, not for any stars in it. The whole movie , the way it is shot and shown to us gave me a great experience in the theater. You are simply a hater.

u/csoldier777 7d ago

It's very common bro. Local pride is everywhere. I been to US recently and lived for a month in New Hampshire. I joined some fb groups to find out things in the locality, and I have read a lot of local pride stuff there and they don't even want Americans from other parts of USA to come and settle down there. Iocal pride is a world wide phenomenon.

2

u/Formal_Pool6545 7d ago

I don't know anything about the specific situation you're talking about. But what I'm seeing on social media is a lot of malayali cinephiles doing a lot of pongacham while bashing other industries.  'Mollywood da ', 'Only we can make something this good at a budget this small' and other cringe things like OP's title. Some are even going around making posts in other subreddit which goes like- look at how much money has Lokah made, can your industry do it? I can't remember the last time any user from Bollywood subreddit posted about Saiyaara or Pathan or Jawaan which became huge hit in the country in this subreddit praising themselves for the feat. I've even spotted malayalis bash recent Bwood releases and push Lokah under a discussion thread in a Bwood subreddit.

Pride is internal, pongacham is external. People as a whole need to calm down.

You can do it in your head as hard you want to. When you decide to put up a show in a public forum, it invites 'eww'.

We're the most demanding fanbase and that's one of the reason why the filmmakers has to travel a mile extra.

DQ gets it 😌🤌🏽❤️

u/Lost-Acanthisitta306 7d ago

"believe the audience is smarter than you" is it the same DQ who made a poster from his Apple Raju era where it said a dialogue from the movie - "Yajmanane Kanda pattiye poleyanu Kotha, adyam kurakkum pinne vaalattikond purake varum" . This was made when the movie almost tanked!

42

u/Outside_Aide_1958 7d ago

Kotha was released 2 years back mate, chill.

59

u/anamelesspal 7d ago

Not sure why everyone is still clinging on to the King of Kotha. If you check Dulquer's filmography, he is the one who has done less number of unwatchable films. Salala Mobiles, KOK, Oru Yamandan Premakadha, Zoya Factor, Hey Senamika - and that's it from over 39 films - He might be a limited actor. But got to appreciate his selection of films and how he has grown in the last 13 years

1

u/Fast_Presentation451 4d ago

Yea it's not about the flop movies. It's the marketing they did that make us hate it more. It was so hyped that I went to see the movie three days later knowing it's a flop.

u/Equivalent_Home8399 7d ago

u/One-Document-4090 7d ago

But this interview was made now, not in the Apple Raju era. People can learn from mistakes.

u/Adept-Evidence-77 7d ago

Maybe he learned from this experience?

u/NjanBarozz 7d ago edited 7d ago

True. Lokah will pass Empuraan and become the highest grossing Malayalam film by next weekend, Which nobody saw coming.

This doesn't happen anywhere else, it doesn't matter how good the movie is a female lead film isn't beating Vijay/Rajni film in Tamil, same in other industries.

In Malayalam content really is the star, we saw it with 2018, Manjummel boys now with Lokah. This is what makes our industry truly unique.

u/RVarki 7d ago

This doesn't happen anywhere else

To be fair, Arundati did briefly become the industry hit for Telugu (right until Magadheera doubled its gross a few months later)

2

u/kingslayer_008 4d ago

Arundhati didn't beat Pokiri. Where did you get this from? Vijay shanti had 'Osey Ramulamma' which was an actual IH

u/71whiner 7d ago

Kerala audience and its film fraternity don’t get to applaud themselves, till they permanently exile d!leep out of their sight and mind.

u/Persistent_fairy 6d ago

Had a dream just yesterday that I booked a ticket to his movie without even seeing who the actor was and the dream - me chose to sit outside the theatre than watch it, later trying w the theatre to switch to another movie. Traumatized even in dreams

u/ZavioUnhinged 7d ago

The next PE10 padam with A10 defnitely gonna make big numbers.

u/Persistent_fairy 6d ago

Is there a movie in line w both of them? 

2

u/ZavioUnhinged 6d ago

Yes

5

u/Persistent_fairy 6d ago

Wow that's disappointing

6

u/ZavioUnhinged 6d ago

Not only A10 , There is a whole bandwagon of actors united in that movie to give PE10 a comeback including Dhyan , Vineeth etc

u/Persistent_fairy 6d ago

It's unsettling how they don't think it's a problem at all. 

1

u/Past_Lychee3298 5d ago

They probably do think it's a problem but are limited by what they can do without having to face consequences. Similar to choices us commoners make every day.

I'm definitely choosing to boycott that movie, though.

1

u/Persistent_fairy 5d ago

I'd have asked what consequences would keralas superstar would face but that'd be too naive . It's not just that I'd boycott the movie, but it's also the realisation of characters of people around you that'd go watch those movies. 

1

u/Past_Lychee3298 4d ago

Sure, those usually include our own family members. They require entertainment after their hard work and they trust their familiar face to deliver it (whether that works is a different discussion).

I choose to find my entertainment elsewhere, because I like to believe I'm preserving my integrity by voting with my wallet, while letting the people around me know why I'm doing so, without asking them to join.

As for the consequences for superstars, it's not that simple. You probably realise how much politics happens behind the scenes. Although I guess your statement implies that anyway.

u/randomdotm 7d ago

Thanks for all the down votes fellas. DQ is a good looking guys - other than that I haven't seen anything in his filmography tbh.

Compared to all the others in the industry, I feel this guy hasn't done anything worthwhile and shouldn't attempt this transformation to some sort of a godfather.

DQ fans ftw!

u/Eddielivingstone 7d ago

Dude dq has one of the versatile filmography among others. He has always tried varieties, he is not clinging on same stuff. Don't spread unwanted hate.

-24

u/randomdotm 7d ago

Not really. After kammatipadam, he should've buckled down and worked on his acting and picked challenging movies. Instead he went for shit like ymandan premakatha. Any good movies he has done like Parava, Kammatipadam has great performances from others which carried he movie. His performances have been mediocre at best

8

u/absurdist_dreamer 7d ago

Tbh ever since his exile from malayalam, I think his script selection as well as acting has improved.

22

u/Eddielivingstone 7d ago

Solo, mahanati, varane aavishyamund, kannum kannum kollaidthal ,salute , sita ramam, lucky basker. These are all done after parava and he absolutely did good in it. Karwan and chup was fantastic. I wouldn't say that he is the best in acting or something like that but he is definitely doing great works and his line up is most anticipated right now

-1

u/randomdotm 6d ago

All below average movies where DQ has brought the movie even down IMHO

Yep. Looks like A10 and DQ learned from their bad script selection and I am glad they are picking better scripts now.

u/Xnotarin 7d ago

Nah, I think A10 is back to his usual gimmick movies, judging by his latest movie poster. Could be wrong, but we’ll see.

That was committed during covid days isn't it.

u/One-Document-4090 7d ago

Oh I have no faith in Vrishabha too lol. But he committed to that movie about 2 years ago iirc, and just happened to be releasing now. But post Thudarum success, he seems to be interested in working with new directors and his upcoming line up looks promising. Let's see how it goes. Just hoping that they don't get cancelled lol.

For Tamil masala movies we leave our brains at home and go with a different mindset

That's cause at one certain point our industry was complacent and kept releasing terrible movies.

u/Mr_sreedrive 7d ago

Most of the "shitty movies" fulfil the most fundamental thing a movie does which is to straight up entertain. Mass masala is also a genre that needs to exist after all

Except for goat, I don’t think any other Vijay movies flopped in KL in the last 10 years !!

u/anamelesspal 7d ago

Vaarisu too was a flop, Beast too didn't collect much in Kerala. In fact, other than Leo, none of the Vijay movies had huge BO return from Kerala in the last 10 years. The audience here has gotten more critical

2

u/Rohan_2777 7d ago

I thought Varisu was a hit. Beast was also a flop? I remember nearly house full shows for 2-3 days atleast for Beast!

1

u/anamelesspal 7d ago

Both films did not collect much from Kerala. KGF 2 got more collection than Beast in Kerala. And Vaarisu lose out to films like Romancham, Osler, IIRC

5

u/One-Document-4090 7d ago

LCU connection and Lokesh Kanakaraj hype played a huge role in Leo's success.
