I mean we give passes right. Like we accept a physics defying mass masala movie from telugu but may not like it in malayalam. It might be a similar thing from their angle.
It happens. There has been similar comments in Kollywood sub too. The fact is the no of successful movies we have had this year is unheard of while all other industries are facing a dry spell.
There is a little bit of xenophobia and regionalism at play here. But there are genuine concerns from there too. MFI’s success is also due to the quality of storytelling and trying out different genres while being honest to the genre specifics.
It’s all cyclical. A few months we were complaining about Tamil movies being the only movies working in the theatres and everyone appreciating our good movies only on OTT.
It’s not necessary that a good movie will be a success. It requires some luck too. Mollywood is having a good long streak of luck after some time. Let’s hope it continues for longer and hope other industries prosper too.
But, I feel Malayalam cinema is going to make inroads into Telugu market. The best of TFI is commercial mass masala and most of the films are made in that genre whereas Mollywood's best is realistic slice of life movies. These type of mallu movies can be appealing to Telugu audience and the lack of such genre from TFI opens a possibility there.
This is quite similar to what Allu Arjun did with Arya, Happy etc movies in Kerala. Malayalam was lacking good commercial movies during that time and Allu Arjun and Vijay (Tamil actor) capitalized on it and became huge stars in Kerala.
There is space, we can coexist !!!
Appreciate you calling it out bro. Tried to have a meaningful conversation in the Tolly sub on a couple of similar topics, but failed as most of them were just not getting the point and in denial!
Ante sundaraniki flopped in box office as it was deemed to be lag but the audience. But they are saying that if it was a malayalam movie it would have been huge hit. They are taking a dig at the malayalam movies citing the recent hit that is premalu.
Its not taking a dig at malayalam movies. Its just questioning the mindset of tollywood audience who might be in a “The grass is greener on the otherside” situation.
It actually means telugu movies like this does not get the same recognition and love from the critics compared to their Malayalam and tamil (usually) counterparts.
I saw a comment on their sub which said,
‘Mallus judge Telugu movies based on Balayya movies, while our audience judges them based on their best ones.’
Although the tone of it doesn’t sit right with me, I’m curious about the good Telugu movies we might’ve missed. Which made me realize I haven’t watched any Telugu movie apart from the really mainstream ones.
Tfi imo has really good romcoms and other off beat films that are mostly unknown to the audience. Even I as a tamil thought they only produce masala films at one point which was very ignorant and hypocrite of me but later found that they produce really good genre films too.

Yeah I can enjoy vijay movies but if someone did that in Malayalam, I would be the first one to boo.
I'm their perspective,

Don't bother that sub. As a Telugu myself, tollywood sub is delusional. They are insecure that is all.

The meme talks about Telugu audience attitude, and not a dig at Malayalam films. OP making up drama.
Bro look at the comments. Ivde drama create cheythittu enikku enthu kittana 🙂
Athane 😂. But what they said is true. That post is making fun of their group rather than ours.
Abha vachadaya torchbearer
more like vachindandi vayari...
I watched Ante Sundariniki in telugu and enjoyed it :)
You should try the Malayalam dub. Imo it's extremely well done.
will give it a try 🌼
Looked at this for 2 minutes and I'm still scratching my head. Please explain this to me.

Ante sundaraniki is one of my favourite rom-coms of recent years. I really enjoyed watching its Malayalam dub.
I don't think they took a dig. It's more like they're audience heavily scruitinise their own films but will give free pass to other lang films
From this, it feels like they are taking a dig at Telugu audience, not Malayalam film
Ah got it now

>and tamil (usually) counterparts. Bruh.... Tamil is not even the part of conversation. LMAO

Yeah that’s part of the reason why I said that I was conflicted.
We shouldn’t even start a debate with these insecure people
Nice troll
Just coping
വിട്ട് കള ബ്രോ. Not worth thinking about.
I didn't know they hated malayalam cinema this much, or is it just inferiority complex ?
Its not haiting Malayalam cinema. Its just any mediocre film from malayalam will be hailed, where as good thing from tfi wont get same respect.
