Koratala Siva’s film “Devara,” starring NTR, was a box office success, particularly in the Telugu states and the US, where it grossed over $6 million. The film also marked NTR’s foray into the Hindi market without the backing of famed director SS Rajamouli. “Devara” began streaming on Netflix on November 8 and quickly climbed to become the #1 trending title on the platform.
However, the film’s OTT release has sparked a wave of negative reactions. Critics and audiences alike have been vocal about the film’s weak characterizations and illogical scenes. Many point to lazy writing as a significant flaw, failing to exploit NTR’s considerable talent. Director Koratala Siva is facing intense backlash for not showcasing NTR effectively, unable to extract stellar performances even from seasoned technicians like cameraman Rathnavelu, who portrayed NTR in an unflattering light.
Interestingly, even NTR’s fans, who had supported “Devara” during its theatrical run, are now expressing their disappointment. They have acknowledged that the film lacks repeat viewing value and is riddled with flaws. This has prompted a change of heart regarding SS Rajamouli, whom they previously criticized for not giving NTR enough prominence in “RRR.”
Fans now realize Rajamouli’s skill in highlighting NTR’s abilities in “RRR,” with standout moments such as the tiger-filled introduction, the riveting interval scene, and the “Komaram Bheemudo” song. These scenes exemplified NTR’s prowess as an actor and solidified the film as a milestone in his career, one hard to surpass. Unfortunately, these fans once disparaged Rajamouli with thankless trolling, only to regret it after witnessing “Devara.”
“Devara’s” critical reception leaves audiences longing for NTR’s celebrated moments in “RRR,” reaffirming the latter’s iconic status in his filmography.
