Can Only Rajamouli Bring Back Ramayana Expectations?
Some people are even talking about the movie having the potential to do business on a massive scale. There are reports and discussions about the Indian box office reaching new records with the film.
Ramayana is not a new story for Indian audiences. The story has been told many times through movies, television shows and other formats. Still people watch it again and again because the story has a strong connection with Indian audiences.
Many films based on Ramayana and other mythological stories have worked well in the past. So there was always an expectation that a big Ramayana film could create huge excitement. But now things look a little different.
It seems that the success of a Ramayana film depends a lot on how the director presents the story. A good example is Adipurush. The film had a huge subject and a big star cast but the final result did not meet the expectations. The film received a lot of criticism from the audience.
Now director Nitesh Tiwari is making another big Ramayana film. The project has been discussed for a long time and the makers are planning it on a very big scale. There are also huge expectations about the film becoming one of the biggest Indian movies ever made.
Some people are even talking about the movie having the potential to do business on a massive scale. There are reports and discussions about the Indian box office reaching new records with the film.
But the biggest problem right now is the hype. Ramayana Part 1 is expected to arrive soon. Still there is no major excitement among the general audience compared to what one would normally expect from such a big film. The makers have released some promotional material but many people feel that it is not enough.
This is where the question comes in. Can only a director like SS Rajamouli create the kind of hype needed for a project like Ramayana?
Rajamouli has shown many times that he knows how to build excitement around a big Indian story. His films create interest even before the release because of the way he presents the characters and the world of the film.
Ramayana needs that kind of excitement. The story itself is already known to everyone. So the makers need to give the audience something new through the presentation.
Definitely Rajamouli films get lot of pan world attention because of his startegy. Here is where many directors are failing. So Rajamouli is thebm one who can bring back lot of expectations for Mahabharat and Ramayana kind of films since the start.
