Devara, starring junior ntr, gets off to a strong start and is keeping strong into the weekend. Despite being a large-scale production unlike typical movies, the film is a fine one-time watch, however opinions on it are divided. In addition to the positives and negatives of the material, NTR's unusual celebrity is a consideration.
NTR sets a very high standard for mass-market films. If the product is not totally good, not even the admirers will accept an explanation. That is the reason why it gets incredibly difficult for ntr in the following days. It is difficult for directors these days to provide a finished film. Not even newly appointed event film directors have managed to create something that can be considered genuinely enjoyable to watch.
However, the other heroes do not experience this issue of conflicting emotions, even with somewhat incomplete goods like Salaar, Kalki, Pushpa, etc. The origins of this issue could lie in NTR's professional background. Early in his career, ntr was a mass hero who made several amazing films, including simhadri and Aadi. These are the movies that gave rise to his current level of fame. The problem is not simply with Devara. Following Aadi and simhadri, several mainstream films have suffered as a result of the same expectations. For ntr, those were the sole hits or flops in his career. Averages don't exist.
The actor eventually came to that realization and began acting in a variety of genres of movies. He was mainly effective in persuading the audience and supporters to think differently about such extreme motives. Films like Nannaku Prematho, Aravinda Sametha, and Janatha Garage did not suffer from this problem even if they are not ideal goods as desired by the public. Before Devara arrived, everyone believed that the issue had been resolved. It appears that if ntr makes a movie in a class genre or one that isn't entirely mass but has a few strong mass scenes, the public won't mind. The expectations will be automatically established accordingly.
However, fans and the public want a flawless mass entertainer from him when he tackles a full-length mass production like Devara, and they will not tolerate any deviations. That explains Devara's conflicting remarks. This issue is going to get worse for the NTR-Prashant Neel movie. The combination and excitement around the project will raise the bar for Neel's film even further because Devara is mostly about NTR. ntr is reportedly the only well-known figure in tollywood with this severe issue.
