Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s latest film Animal has faced considerable controversy, and the film is all set to premiere on an OTT platform soon. Despite receiving negative criticism, the movie achieved sensational box office success, capturing the hearts of the regular audience. The film, characterized by abusive language, heightened violence, and the degradation of women, strangely became an addictive experience for movie enthusiasts.
Interestingly, Pushpa, starring Allu Arjun, follows a similar pattern, presenting a hero with negative shades that surprisingly resonated well with the audience. However, there is a different perspective on this phenomenon.
Contrary to the belief that only negative elements can make a movie a hit, directors like Viswanath and Sekhar Kammula have captivated Telugu audiences with their positively infused content. Sekhar Kammula’s films, like Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s, work as addictive experiences, but in a positive light.
While both directors explore love with intense emotion, Sekhar Kammula does so in a positive and attractive manner, contrasting Sandeep’s penchant for explicit scenes. Sekhar Kammula portrays heroes with responsibility, treating heroines with utmost respect, making his movies an addiction for the audience.
This suggests that attracting audiences and achieving blockbuster status doesn’t solely depend on negative elements, as demonstrated by Sekhar Kammula. His classics like Anand, Godavari, and Fidaa stand as evergreen films in the Telugu industry, showcasing that positivity can also be a winning formula.
