Movie lovers always be left wondering as to why best of the Tollywood films fail to win awards at national and international level while its counter parts run away with trophies.
Then they take solace and take refuge that awards committe was managed by the film makers and tolywood always find itself at the wrong place out of favor with jury members.
Even top film makers of tollywood create the impression after the National Award Committee did not give any award for tollywood out of 24 categories, saying our people don't know how to influence jury.
Movie lovers and film critics also believe their words but a careful look and insight will show how yellow eyed our film makers are?.
They just take refuge in lame excuses rather than do some introspection as to why their best films failed to win laurels during 100 years celebrations of tollywood.
If one go by our tollywood greats words then people should think that Sankarabharanam and 'Oka Gramam' in 1929 won national awards through influence and lobbying.
Why don't they analyse how films from other regions made the cut and their strong points and our weak points?.
Last year nominees included from sensational commerical hit 'Dookudu' to 'Sriramarajyam' classic along with periodical film 'Rajanna'. Why should 'Dookudu' get award?.
Prince Mahesh babu's and Prakash Raj's action or Samantha's glamor or Srinu Vytla's direction?
The film is a free make of Good Bye Lenin and so the film failed to make cut with the awards committee.
Classical Srirama Rajyam, however rich the film may be and the performances of the stars is just carbon copy of super hit 'Lavakusa' with some changes here and there.
'Lavakusa' won lot of awards, rewards which they the latest failed to win. Many expected the film to win award in art category. However it failed to win as art was dominated by graphics in the film.
Director Bapu won many awards for most of his films but even his fans say when they expected a classic from Bapu he delivered graphical film.
Movie lovers say Bapu's films revolve only on Ramayana. king Nagarjuna came with periodical film 'Rajanna'.
The film is real life story of telangana warrior Suddala Hanumanthu. He actually hail from Nalgonda District. In the film it was shown as Nelakondapalli in Adilabad while the place is located in Khammam.
How come one expect national award for a realistic film with unrealistic depiction?.
True that it requires lot of guts to make a film like Rajanna, but before sending the film for awards, film makers should think twice and pay attention to minute points.
Winning national award is the most cherished dream of any film maker. Unless until film makers think creatively and innovatively and get their facts rights it will be a distant dream for tollywood movie lovers to expect national awards.
