Controversies killing Cinemas


No two persons will be alike and think similarly. In the same way films also come in different manner but now a days hit ratio is reducing drastically. Though N number of films are releasing in theaters, people are staying away from insipid films. Some film makers knowingly or unknowingly touch upon controversial subjects. This may some time help in publicity generating interest but the same may effect the performance of the film.
Some decades back Ramoji Rao's Pratighatana on Usha Kiron Movies was engulfed in controversy and it helped in the film minting money at box office. The film generated lot of controversy as it was based on some unsocial elements in Vijayawada. Now T activists are venting their anger on Cameraman Ganga to Rambabu.
This is not for the first time Pawan Kalyan's film is in controversy. Earlier protesters cooled only after his film's title 'Komaram Puli' was changed to 'Puli'. Even for Mahesh-Puri's 'Business Man'lot of hue and cry was witnessed over the song 'we are bad boys' which hurt feelings of hindus. No one can beat RGV when it comes to controversies. His film 'Rakta Charitra' based on Anantapuram faction leaders courted trouble even before its release. Similarly he generated trouble by announcing 'Bezawada Rowdeelu' with Naga Chaitanya. Later it was changed to 'Bezawada'. More recently he even announced 'Reddygaru Poyaru' for his new film.

Controversy on Vidya Balan's 'Dirty Picture' is well known. Silk Smitha's relatives even approached court to stall the release of the film. Innocence of Muslims was banned across the world for its controversy.
