When we think of Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja, the first thing that comes to mind is energy. With his charm, energy, and impeccable comedy timing, he has the ability to make even regular commercial cinema successful in Tollywood. The star hero does not require a strong script to be successful, as evidenced by his most recent film, ‘Dhamaka,’ which became the biggest hit in Ravi Teja’s career despite offering nothing new in terms of story and narration.
Movies such as ‘Venky,’ ‘Dubai Seenu,’ ‘Bhadra,’ ‘Power,’ ‘Balupu,’ ‘Krishna,’ ‘Don Seenu,’ ‘Mirapakay,’ and others did not have original stories and were merely commercial entertainers. They would not be successful without Ravi Teja. However, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that people prefer to watch the ‘Vikramarkudu’ hero in regular movies with a high dose of entertainment rather than interesting movies with new concepts.
‘Neninthe’ is regarded as a classic, and many people enjoy it today, but it was a box office flop. Many people liked ‘Naa Autograph,’ but it was a commercial failure. The same can be said for “Shambo Shiva Shambo.” Before ‘Dhamaka,’ his two biggest hits were ‘Raja The Great’ and ‘Krack’. All of these films were strictly commercial, with good action scenes and high entertainment value. He tried something new with ‘Disco Raja,’ but it failed miserably. He tried to play three roles in ‘Amar Akbar Anthony,’ but it didn’t work. ‘Khiladi’ was a crime drama that did not do well, and his serious role in ‘Ramarao On Duty’ disappointed everyone.
Now, he’s releasing ‘Ravanasura’ this weekend, and it’s something different, as the trailer suggests. Ravi Teja is expected to play a multifaceted character, and the trailer promises plenty of thrills and twists. It’s not your typical commercial film. Though the trailer appears promising, we must wait and see how the film turns out.
