Why Are Leading Tamil Directors Losing Their Fanbase?
Many famous Tamil film directors, known for their outstanding movies, are now going through difficult times. Directors like Mani Ratnam, Shankar, and AR Murugadoss have made some of the most memorable films in the industry. However, recent projects by them have not been well received by audiences and critics.
Shankar, who is known for his grand and visual style, has been facing a lot of criticism lately. His recent films like I and Indian 2 did not meet the expectations of many fans. After Indian 2, Shankar was heavily trolled on social media. His previous successes were quickly forgotten as people expressed disappointment. His upcoming film Indian 3 is also facing uncertainties and challenges.
Similarly, AR Murugadoss, who has been praised for making popular films with strong social messages, is now struggling to keep his place among the top directors. His recent work did not impress the audience as much as before.
Mani Ratnam, a director celebrated for his classic movies, recently joined this group after the release of Thug Life. The movie was released on Thursday and received very poor reviews. Many say it is the weakest film Mani Ratnam has made so far. Unlike before, when even his flops were not heavily criticized, Thug Life brought him into the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
Even Kamal Haasan, who co-produced Thug Life with Mani Ratnam and acted in it, faced strong backlash. The film became one of the biggest failures of the year, disappointing both fans and critics.
This shows that even the most respected directors are not immune to criticism when their work does not connect with the audience. It remains to be seen how they will bounce back from these setbacks in the Future.
