Tollywood’s young directors are all one film wonder

March - 8 - 2008

Almost all the debutant directors are giving big hits with their first film. However, after giving a big hit, they are falling flat in their second movie though the audiences keep high expectations on them with the blockbuster coming from the director earlier. It is not known whether these first-timers exhausted their entire energy with the first movie itself and are giving flops in their second movie.

There are some other directors, who gave only one hit in their career and failed to see another hit in their lifetime, though they continue to stay in the film industry for years together. Many of these directors gain experience as assistant directors in their early days of career. Either they might have kept all their energy to prepare an excellent script and made it a success or turn overconfident about their calibre and turned lax while doing their subsequent films.

One could easily say that the directors should be confident of earning the stamina of directing 100 films with the experience they gained, but none of the present generation directors possess this quality.

Let us take an example.. No Telugu audience could forget the film ‘Tholiprema’. It is such a great movie and its director Karunakaran gave such a fantastic success and moulded the film as a marvel on the celluloid. After that, he did not see a hit on par with that movie.

Even the audiences in general and the film industry in particular lost hopes that he could give a success at that range again. There are several other directors that come under this category including VN Aditya of ‘Manasanta Nuvve’-fame, Surya Kiron of ‘Sathyam’-fame, Prabudeva of ‘Nuvvostanante Ne Vaddantana’-fame, Sukumar of ‘Arya’-fame, Ravikumar Choudary of ‘Yagnam’-fame, Y Kasiviswanath of ‘Nuvvu Leka Nenu Lenu’-fame, Surender Reddy of ‘Athanokkade’-fame.

All these directors shook the Box Office with their debut films, but failed to achieve another hit at that range till date. The film industry coined a fantastic word for such directors. These one-time hit directors are called ‘Single Take Directors’. You are wrong that these so called directors could shoot the scenes in a film with a single take. It actually means, the directors who had only one success in their career.
