CRITICISM'S

RECENTLY A KIND WEBSITE DECIDED TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ON ME AND MY TRAILER. I SHALL NOW PROUDLY PRESENT TO ALL "THE ARTICLE"

Suppose you have a son who is aged 20 years. One fine day you catch him while he is smoking a cigar on the terrace. Will you just warn him to quit smoking or will you pull him to the road and and make a menace? Everything depends on your sense. If I was the father i would warn my son not to smoke and explain him why not to do that. Here, not exactly the same scenario but something similar to that.

Anish Kurivilla who is a close friend of Sekhar Kammula since 1999,wanted to be in the news for no good reason. He did a blunder and wanted to show the world as if he did a wonder. Yes,you are guessed it right, I am talking about his directional debut “Confessions of a film-maker”. I happend to see the most filthiest trailer in tollywood till date. I just cant bear the last 30 seconds of the trailor. I dont know what this inarticulate fellow want to prove.

Moreover he is claming that “It was more of his state of mind over last few years”. So I came to a conclusion after seeing his D grade trailor, that he is challenged severly and he is in a desperate need of a shock treatment. He also claimed that he is into business for more than 10 years,so he knows the business better hence he can show the world what his personal point of view is. Agreed,as an Indian citizen he got every right to express his feelings, but not in the flithiest way.

Anish, afterall you are a 10 year old kid in the business, there are legends who are into business for more than 30 years.Want to know? One among them is Dr D RamaNaidu, did he ever try to degrade the industry which gave him such name and wealth. Why you? I guess you wanted to show your existance in the industry by making such an insane movie.May be you are known only to a section of people in the industry,but you wanted to become famous in a fortnight. Right?

What is that trailer? If that reflects your state of mind,then you seriously must undergo physcological counselling. When you are into industry for more than 10 years, you must be aware of all the factors you must meet to release a film.Dont you know that there is one powerful hurdle “Censor board”? Are you confident that you will cross that hurdle? If not,why the hell you directed such a garbage.

If you are sure that your movie would cross the censor hurdle,well and fine.How will you promote the movie,with the same trailer what you have released now? What will be the genre of the movie? If your answer is “My personal view”, there is no such genre till date. What the heck you want to prove by using such D grade language in your video and name it as a movie.

DO u know what tollywood movies are? Do u know about the passion the people show for movies here?

Please dont do these kind of acts, which are harmful to our own tollywood. Faults are every where but a little comonsense must be used to point them out. Dont give a chance for the people to laugh at your attitude. Go get some life man !!

MY REPLY:

Dear Ramya,

I am unable to understand why you are so upset with my trailer.
I know, I understand. We are all gems in this industry, the producers,directors and actors have given us such sensible,well-meaning,responsible and good cinema.

No one and I mean certainly no one in any postion should even criticize or comment on their works of art. right?

WRONG,I WONT BE QUIET. I'm sorry you feel that way, but unlike you, who has the privilege of sitting in her room writing to me, I have worked my ass off in this place for years and I have seen success and failure at close quarters. You never need to agree with me. Heck you dont even need to see my film. Dont watch it, heck it may not even be released.But I will make sure everyone and anyone who wants to watch it, will.

Criticize me then....abuse me then...say whatever...but watch my film and comment.
Yes whether you like it or not, the industry is not a bed of roses, nor are the people running it some prophets. And I will stand up and I will show my film to the world.

My film may not fall into any genre...then call it a campaign. A campaign for more responsibilty by stars,producers,writers and directors. I cant see how a cause like that can be criticized.
And as to why I should use the 'D' world. Let me tell you...
watch the film and you will understand the context.

Look Ramya, this film and trailer is not meant for people who are content with the state of telugu cinema...
I will never be able to connect with you at all.

But I am confident it will connect to a 100 in a million and I am content with that. This film is for them...

not for Ramya reddy or her filmy duniya.

lets all clap our hands as ramya's kids sing -"jinkaka jinka jinka jinka ka ka", complete with hand moments. after all these are songs played out by our revered stars, our revered producers and our revered directors, right kid?

meanwhile for those wishing to see the trailer. (i know cinefolks will remove it anyways, you can watch an uncensored one on idlebrain)or..
