It appears maverick film maker Ramgopal Verma is of the opinion that the Telugu film viewers absolutely have no taste for good films and therefore, deserve third-rate films.
One cannot get a better impression than this, if one were to go by the crap RGV is producing these days in Telugu in the name of films. Take for instance, his latest “experimental” film Dongala Mutha.
It clearly shows that RGV has degraded himself as a film maker and the kind of quality that was seen in his earlier films like Shiva and Kshana Kshanam is glaringly missing. He looks totally mediocre in his latest film. Shot in five days with five Canon 5D cameras and no director of photography, the film has completely gone awry and it appears like a video film shot by an amateurish person with his handycam to please his friends. It is a lesson for those directors to learn how not to make a film, rather than taking inspiration from a “great” director like RGV to shoot such a miserably low budget film.
RGV, perhaps, is thinking that he can get away with making any kind of film at the cost of the producers and make some quick money so as to get rid of all his loans in the Bollywood. It is an open secret in the film circles that he ran away from Mumbai to Hyderabad because of his mounting debts with financiers and the subsequent threats from the underworld operators who financed his films.
