Everyone knows that we need to get rid of bad practices like untouchability. But let's be real. Targeting Hindu temples should stop. I've watched like 100 movies saying Hindus need to bend their a** for everyone else and allow people of other faiths inside the temple and do whatever they want. Why should a hindu temple allow someone who doesn't have faith in it but just want to showcase their musical talent?
Does the director know that Mecca or Vatican doesn't allow people of other religions? Why not question other religions too? We shouldn't even blame them for it because it's their faith and we're not supposed to question them when we don't follow their cultural and/or spiritual beliefs. It's probably time for us to rethink about this guilt that they're trying to build among Hindus. Hindus are already the most secular people on earth and it pains to see yet another movie that pushes the concept of their secularism into a place of worship. We already have friends from other faiths but that secularism filter cannot be applied to a place of worship and dilute the religion. Leave our temples alone, it's time to start respecting rules of the temples without a fuss. That's real secularism. It's movies like this that are the reason why a woman made her way into Sabarimala as well. Because of the selective outrage similar to this.
That's not even the primary reason for this movie to be a huge flop, there's more to it.
Jaggesh, being such a big star, a highly talented actor and a politician, has become so irresponsible nowadays when it comes to selecting a script and promoting the movie accordingly. He should stop praising/promoting everyone and everything, Jaggesh should start talking reality. He promoted this movie saying families can watch in the theaters. I watched this movie alone on my phone and I feel disgusted about the level of cheap comedy it has, so imagine watching it with family! I'm a person who enjoyed great movies like Eddelu Manjunatha, and even that doesn't have so many cheap jokes.
This movie has an under-the-belt comedy in every scene, it's so cringe! Dear director, stop trying too hard to push a double meaning dialogue after every other sentence. People don't like movies this way anymore. We have standup comedy shows to watch on YouTube that can make us laugh if we want comedy just with dialogues. Simply get updated. Movies need to have comedy that we can WATCH, something that's more than just dialogues. You could've composed comedy using Jaggesh's facial expressions, just watch Matha or Eddelu Manjunatha and you'll get to know. But unfortunately, Jaggesh has the same exact expression for every scene in Thothapuri because well, there's only 1 type of boring comedy in the whole movie.
