Why Tollywood prefers Malayalam remakes?
Malayalam movies are known for their captivating stories, interesting plot aspects, and fascinating script. However, they make films with loose endings and middling screenwriting intelligence on occasion. They may initially engage, but this is not always the case. 'Joseph,' a 2018 film that received positive reviews, went on to reach a wide audience thanks to the OTT revolution in the last two years.
The film is shot in a cinematic style with a realistic undertone. The songs are forced, with too much passion and a tragic ending for all female characters, and they don't help the overall message at the conclusion. At the end, the realistic touch with the sacrificial protagonist is something unique, yet many twists and turns feel battered for those who have seen films like Drishyam. With Dishyam, cracking a case with mobile numbers is second nature, so something along those lines would have no impact on the thrill element.
The story comes to a realistic conclusion without doing poetic justice. The medical darkweb is revealed, and the system is notified. If the audience goes into this picture with no expectations, it will likely be entertaining but not thrilling. The crime point is exposed in the middle of the film for people that binge watch it on OTTs, eliminating the surprise value at the end.
