Rajamouli Vs Vinayak Vs Meher Ramesh

Role models and inspirations are a common feature in the film industry. And the common statement you hear from many aspirants are “I want to become a director/producer/hero like him.” Well, right now, there are few noted names in the Tollywood directorial circuit and an analysis of sorts has been chalked between them. We are talking about S S Rajamouli, V V Vinayak and Meher Ramesh. Each director has their own calibre but what if they were to be compared, lets see..

According to a recent opinion taken from the cine fraternity and the audience, the unanimous feeling is that for Meher Ramesh to reach the league of V V Vinayak, he must take atleast 100 steps. For Vinayak to reach the league of Rajamouli, he must take atleast 200 steps. The best example for this hypothesis is their recent flicks - Shakti, Badrinath, Magadheera respectively. It is obvious that Ramesh’s Shakti, Vinayak’s Badrinath have been inspirations from Rajamouli’s Magadheera but Rajamouli’s inspiration is his own.

Keeping inspiration aside, for becoming a successful film maker, it is important to have indepth knowledge of the subject chosen, attention to detail, giving the right kind of dramatism to each scene, involving the audience into the film right from the start etc. these are few qualities which Rajamouli holds to a large extent and that’s why he has a strong connect with all genres of audience. As for Vinayak, he has good command over the pace of the film but most of the times, his content is masala oriented with many cinematic liberties, this appeals to the commercial audience.

Meher Ramesh can be tagged as a good technician but not a good story teller. His films like ‘Kantri’ ‘Billa’ ‘Shakti’ show a fair amount of technical standard but content and narration is really stale. Moreover, there is often a mass flavour observed in his treatment despite coming up with regular family oriented flicks.

Overall, Rajamouli has set a new benchmark be it family, commercial or mass oriented films and it can be said that Vinayak to an extent has the potential to reach Rajamouli’s standards. But Meher Ramesh needs a good amount of grooming if he has to make a mark as an efficient movie maker.
