Think about REVIEWS before you write -- Srikanth Kondeti
Dear 123Telugu Editor n OTHERS,
First of all, Thanks for your +ve reviews on Magadheera.
I just read about new feature of HIT or PHUT program.
I would like request Shyam Prasad Reddy(I guess the owner of 123Telugu is him) to cooridinate with other people like Jeevi, Sirasri, Ganesh, Sunitha Chow, Prabhu (all reviewers) to STOP review concept. I am not sure how easy that would be in this Internet world? But I am really NOT favor of reviews.
Though its a good or bad review it should not effect the Viewer's mind before they are goto Theatres.
I strongly oppose the concept of reviews. I know that Jeevi had put big impact on Reviews though his reviews in Idlebrain were good. He came with the new concept which is good when the time of Idlebrain launch. But that idea eventually KILLING the Cinema Industry. For the God sake, Telugu people are movie lovers and still going for movie though some times movie got bad reviews like Gopi Gopika n Godavari.
WHO ARE YOU GUYS(Reviewers) decide the movie fate? That should come from the people. There are several bullshit movies which I thought went as Blockbusters and some of them which I thought very good movies bombed at Box office. So movies fate should be decide by PEOPLE and NOT by the ONE or TWO persons.
For EX: (This is NOT reviewers fault)
Gharshana(Tamil remake from Kaka Kaka) -- Very good one become flop
Chandramukhi (Certainly doesn't required Rajni for that) -- Become good hit
SankarDada Zindabad (very good hit in Hindi) -- become flop though it didn't change anything in Telugu
Yamadonga n Vikramarkudu( D graded Comedy romance) -- Became hits
Even in Magadheera (I heard that comedy is bad)
So I am NOT blaming the idea of HIT or PHUT idea by 123Telugu.com. This should ERASE totally from all the sites include Idlebrain.com, GreatAndhra.com, AndhraCafe.com, AndhraVilas.com, CineGoer.com and rest of the sites.
THERE IS NO PROBLEM IF REVIEWER DOESN'T LIKE THE FILM. BUT THAT SHOULD NOT EFFECT MENTALLY TO OTHER VIEWERS/READERS WHILE THEY WATCH THE MOVIE.
LET US NJOY OUR FREEDOM OF THE MOVIE with our own mindset.
You can say if you are NOT care about reviews, why do you Read our websites? Thats CORRECT from your angle. But as a movie lover(I can say better as Oka Cinema Picchodu), I couldn't resist myself to stop watching movie websites. So Excuse me.
Please take +ve side of my intention though I use harsh words.
People say in US, Why do we need to spend $10 per Ticket if movie is BAD?? Thats why Reviews are required. IF YOU ARE DAMN ABOUT MONEY, WHY DO YOU WATCH MOVIE. BETTER DON'T WATCH by depending on Movie Reviews.
Though I am living in USA since 2005, I Strongly OPPOSE THE CONCEPT of REVIEWS because I LOVE CINEMA. CINEMA SHOULD LIVE FOR NEXT GENERATIONS.
Already we are in the situation that we could NOT able to see 100 DAYS anymore in this world. May be in future(20 years later), there will be 25 DAYS CELEBRATIONS if movie becomes SUPERHIT or 15 days celebrations if movie becomes HIT... I guess this will happen if there is Biased Reviews.
Fortunately MAGADHEERA got very good reviews. Otherwise what would be the Fate of Producer? I don't mind about Allu Aravind...(as he got enough money). I CARE ABOUT BUYERS n DISTRIBUTORS who will be on ROADS due to this BIASED REVIEWS..
I am not blaming all the sites are giving Biased Reviews. But I know couple of sites does that.
I HATE REVIEWS idea.... Better STOP these from ALL THE SITES.
Note: (The Impact)
When Yesterday first review about Magadheera(posted by GreatAndhra) came out, I came to know my friend who is distributor's friend here in VA, massive 500 tickets sold online within just 1-2 hours after the review. That really makes the IMPACT.
As movie is +ve, Its appreciated. What would happen if its -ve???
BIG REQUEST:
PLEAE DO NOT POST ANY REVIEW AT LEAST IF MOVIE IS BAD. THANKS TO JEEVI YOU ARE DOING THAT SO. I remember when you did first time for BALU(PawanKalyan movie) as I am aware of. You didn't post the review for a while. At least that is better option.
THINK ABOUT ONE MORE TIME.
PS: I am not connected to any form Cine Industry but I am Movie Lover. (Mainly very big Fan of Chiru and hence fan of Pawan Kalyan, I love him as person more than Chiru)
Thanks & Regards,
Srikanth Kondeti
