Trivikram, once celebrated for his impactful dialogues, finds himself facing a creative decline apparent in his recent movies. Even his previous blockbuster, “Ala Vaikuntapuram lo,” lacked his signature touch. The festival boost for “Gunturkaaram” is waning, leaving buyers hopeful for a last-minute push this weekend and the Republic Day weekend.
Despite claims of success from the makers, the film’s performance doesn’t match the expectations set by the director’s reputation. The content, too, falls short of the anticipated standard. Mahesh Babu escapes criticism as his efforts are visible, leaving Trivikram to shoulder the blame.
This setback follows Trivikram’s earlier career blow with “Agnyathavaasi.” Unlike that time, securing a new project is more challenging now. Although a project with Allu Arjun was announced, rumors suggest Bunny might collaborate with Atlee before that, making Trivikram’s idle period risky. In two years, circumstances may shift, making it crucial for Trivikram to remain actively involved in the industry.
With other big stars occupied, there are speculations about Trivikram considering a multistarrer with Nani and Venkatesh. However, this move could be riskier, given Trivikram’s Tier-1 director status. Following “Gunturkaaram,” embarking on such a project might be perceived as a downgrade.
Critics and observers point out that Trivikram’s creativity appears to be dwindling, with his recent movie stories seemingly borrowed from older ones. Additionally, his dialogues fail to meet the high standards he once set. The challenge for Trivikram lies not only in recovering from the recent setback but also in navigating the intricate path of selecting and mounting his next project.
