In general, Tamil films have become duller and more boring this decade. The best phase was the 2000s, with Shankar, Mani Ratnam, Selvaraghavan and many new-age directors making super-interesting films. The fine form of Tamil music directors was a great blessing back then. The creative deterioration Kollywood has seen since 2010 or so is something else.
The epitome of how boring and foolish the Tamil industry has become can be gauged from the talk that the Kollywood media is going gaga over the talk of a prequel to ‘Vettaiyan’, easily among the most boring Rajinikanth films. Also, its collections started dwindling to shocking levels right from Day 4. Dasara holidays alone saved the film from becoming a total washout.
Prequels and sequels are supposed to be made for event films and new-age action thrillers like ‘Vikram’. It makes sense if there is a Lokesh Cinematic Universe. It makes sense that ‘Kanguva 2’ is being talked about. But it doesn’t make sense that someone wants to tell the origin story of an encounter specialist.
Already, there is talk of ‘Indian 3’ skipping a theatrical release. If Kollywood continues with its weird understanding of the idea of sequels/prequels, more and more films will end up devastating the box office.
