Movie - Leader, My opinion

whenever one tries to make an attempt of making a movie based on corruption, i mean to make a movie which involves fight against corruption,
he should kick start the project only if he has with him two points in particular.

1) if at all he has any point to show the public the root cause of curruption, and thereby suggest in a unique way his idea of
eradicating corruption, in other words educating people.

2) If he does not have any new idea, then atleast his presentation of fight against curroption must incorporate novelty in it.

why i say this is there are already many movies made based on fight against corruption, which are blockbusters.
When public comes to watch a movie of similar genre, they expect something new. Something thought provoking.
Something innovative. Something fresh. When they do not get what they expect, when they happen to see the same what they have already seen,
they are disappointed.

People are never interested in personal life of a political leader. They are interested only in what service he has done
to the people. Just to add glamour quotient in the movie, one should not include love interest for a leader, who is
in a most prestigious position of the state, that too in the second half of the movie, where movie is supposed to be serious.
It spoils the mood of the movie. This is a big flaw.

To convert movies of this genre into blockbusters, it definitely needs a movie which needs to be made on a large scale. I mean it should have a hero,
who has huge mass follwing. A director who has caliber of making the movie reach the masses. Coz these kind of movies are made
keeping them in mind. This movie lacks both, which is the reason for poor performance of this movie, which is till date can be said as
first movie of shekhar which is not well received by public.

Shekhar should have made a love story, which he is strong at, instead of trying with this kind of movie. finally, neither his fans (like me)
are satisfied(as we did not get the feel which we got with Godavari, Anand) nor the common audience(coz the movie seems like it is made
only for city folks).

Speaking about its boxoffice performance, first day itself it was clear, this movie will perform atleast to some extent in urban areas(as shekhar
has great following in these areas) , its going to be a dud at B, C centres. Ee maya chesave which released in a week time, was awesome.
EMC is a blockbuster. It was a classic in recent times. This affected the performance of Leader in urban areas. Despite of huge publicity,
Suresh babu running the movie in all his theatres, the movie lacked the euphoria which Shekhar 's previous movies got.

Shekhar kammula ji, I come to watch your movies, coz I am really thrilled by the way you narrate your stories, end of the movie we ll carry the
feel back to home. It did not happen in case of Leader. Sorry, i did not like the movie.
