Yes, its been a while that we, Onlookers Media and the audience has found the drastic change in Shankar’s last releases. Is he going through a hard time or is it the talent that outbursts others to be the best and excel him in his terrain. Well ,we have been finding reasons for the acclaimed filmmaker S. Shankar, the very talented director who created history with movies starting with Gentleman(1993) followed by Mudhalvan(1999), Boys(2003), Anniyan(2005), Enthiran(2010), and his last release ‘I’ in the year 2015. Now he is working on his much awaited movie’s second part, Enthiran 2. Shankar’s movies are always over rated that, maybe that is one of the reasons why there has been a shift that we experience now in his films.
When one becomes successful, the expectation soars so high that even if its a financially and commercially hit movie it may not find a place in the hearts of the people. What happened in ‘I’ is simple, there was a lack of good story line when compared to his other movies in the beginning. There wasn’t much space to make the characters find a space in the hearts of many, other than Vikram’s unstoppable will power, dedication and hard work which has been the highlight for the three hour journey . The music for the movie was also outstanding in the hands of A.R Rahman but the story lacked proficiency in flexibility while the cinematography was very well handled by PC Sreeram.
Keeping this in mind just think about his movies after Anniyan, there has been some serious issues in selecting a good story line other than Enthiran. Enthiran has been groundbreaking in not only Shankar’s filmography but on cinema. Because of all these reasons S.S Rajamouli has placed himself in the first track to hold the title “Showman of Indian Cinema”. The Latest hit of all times, record breaking collection, and the best movie ever to be made, all these are praises which are now for the Baahubali- the beginning and as a reply to this gripping treat by Rajamouli, Shankar has decided to go all out with Enthiran 2 announced to be released in 2016.
The viewers has seen the difference in the art of working that these successful directors, Shankar and SS Rajamouli has pulled throughout the years. Rajamouli began his career in 2001 and was internationally acclaimed after he released Magadheera in 2009, Eega in 2015, which was released all over the world dubbed in different languages. Addition to that here is the third Box office Breaking movie Baahubali : The Beginning which has hit the screens with its massive presentation and direction. So the promising director, SS Rajamouli proves to be best fit for the title of being the “Showman of Indian Cinema” compared to the present situation of Shankar. And getting ready to be the striker on another side, Shankar is working on Enthiran 2 to bring back his title back to him. This would be a sure treat to the movie lovers all around the globe.
Competitions can always bring the best in you and the task to keep up the standard of a good movie is challenging. So will Enthiran 2 get to strike on Baahubali or else with the return of Baahubali : The Conclusion Shankar and will all of us get an answer so as to who the title “Showman of Indian Cinema” belongs to ?
