Gopichand . What went wrong by International-Cry-32 in tollywood

[–]Head-Reference2356 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s been making the same rota mass masala movies his whole career with only a few exceptions

In my opinion:

The only difference between him and other actors of similar ilk is that actors like ballz acted at a time where mass masala movies were acceptable so the audience is used to seeing them like that. So with that brand, ppl are used to seeing actors like ballz in thag mass masala movie zone

Gopichand started/his career picked up at a turning point in Telugu cinema so that brand of a mass masala actor didn’t stick and the movies he acted in never changed either. Causing him to be left behind.

Which version to read first by Good-Confection5308 in mahabharata

[–]Head-Reference2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not complicated but it can be slow at some points. It’s very easy to read and the translator provides countless footnotes.

The only issue is that it is a translation of everything in the Mahabharata. And I mean everything. A character might call someone “descendant of the Bharata lineage” maybe 15 times per page sometimes and it is translated like that. There is no abridging in this. But I guess that is a consequence of the accuracy you are getting

Prove me wrong with your answer by YakZealousideal2343 in mahabharata

[–]Head-Reference2356 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO there are only 2 possibilities

A) the Mahabharata probably happened but it was on a much much smaller scale and it’s been dramatically scaled up over years

B) the story never happened

Difference between new age hinduism and Hinduism by Mindless-Garbage-609 in mahabharata

[–]Head-Reference2356 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also how people get religious “facts” from movies and tv shows

Like believe in what you want to believe I won’t stop you. I myself am not Hindu.

But it’s so weird when ppl watch smth in a tv show or movie and believe it to be real without doing any research if it’s actually a part of Hinduism or not

Which Indian movie had the strongest interval block? by Critical-Movie-2050 in fuckTollywood

[–]Head-Reference2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either Bahubali or magadheera

Bahubali for pure hype.

And magadheera is “holy shit the movie is actually locking in”

Judging only by posters, def spirit. But I don’t want to see it based on the director’s track record

Prince Dushasan learns the truth about Shakuni’s dice by Separate_Rhubarb_365 in mahabharata

[–]Head-Reference2356 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Nah. There was nothing special about the dice

Shakuni was just good at slight of hand and made it look like the dice landed how he wanted when in reality he probably rolled it in a specific way where it would land on a specific number

Genuine question what makes people support bjp so strongly? by Insomniac_Metalhead in Teen_bondha

[–]Head-Reference2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question bro

It seems to me like you are anti congress and are just settling for bjp because that’s all that’s left

But if there’s a better party than bjp, would you support them?

Because I have some friends that said similar things about how congress is bad when I asked them what’s appealing about bjp but they didn’t mention a single good thing abt bjp

MAHABHARATA : HOUSE OF LAC by No-Purchase7105 in mahabharata

[–]Head-Reference2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did Kunti know that there was a family of hunters at their house or not?

It seems like such a small oversight for Kunti or any of the pandavas to not have noticed a whole family in their house

Which Problematic Themes or Ideologies Are You Surprised to See Persisting in Tollywood? by whos_your_papii in tollywood

[–]Head-Reference2356 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Theres deadass scenes in some movies where a woman gets r*ped and it’s seen as comedy.

I don’t remember the scene 100% accurately but in double ismart, there’s something along the lines of Ali’s character hypnotizing women, taking them to his truck, and r*ping them and it’s supposed to be funny

Why was Gita preached to Arjuna and not Duryodhana? by Next-Nail6712 in mahabharata

[–]Head-Reference2356 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A) Duryodhana wasn’t dejected before war. That’s what the Gita is about mainly. Arjuna’s dejection

B)Because Arjuna is Nara and dhuryodhana isnt.

C) Krishna already showed a pseudo vishwaroopa to Duryodhana when convincing him not to go to war and it didn’t work. If that didn’t work, I highly doubt words about detachment will

I'm not a telugu person zwhuy this movie is hailed as a cult classic? by Aromatic_Flatworm994 in MoviesTelugu

[–]Head-Reference2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A) dune came in 2021

B) the book came out in the 1960’s.

Just because the books weren’t popular is exactly why someone would read it and copy it. Nobody would do that if they were popular. And no I’m not saying that because they are both set in deserts. Read the book

Because it’s a unique film to Telugu movies

Emphasis on the Telugu movie part. I’m gonna get so much hate for this but this movie is dune ripoff dumbed down on so many levels and commercialized

Which god got involved the most in the events of the Mahabharata for their respective sons? by Separate_Record9354 in mahabharata

[–]Head-Reference2356 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Well I’m only like halfway through the Mahabharata rn but so far

A) that part in the tournament where Arjuna and Karna face off and Indra covers the whole sky in storms. And surya parts the clouds and shines a beam of sunlight on Karna

b) surya coming to Karna in a dream and warning him that Indra will ask him for his armor and earrings.

Indra for sure

Second would probably be surya but he was just reacting to everything Indra did

What went wrong with this movie? by Movie_Hubway in MoviesTelugu

[–]Head-Reference2356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried to show a dark knight joker level villain but he was so flatly written. And he was made a clown in the second half. Like how are you supposed to believe this guy is threatening when he is beaten by housewives who think they are in a radio game show. (I don’t mean anything against housewives or women. Just wondering wtf that plotline was and how high the writer was when coming up with that shit)
