Can a film age poorly but also gain a cult following over the years? Probably yes. Allu Arjun’s Arya romanticises stalking but also shows the beauty of one-sided love.
This soul-stirring hyperlink film is one for the books. If you are from Tamil Nadu and have watched Silambarasan’s Vaanam (remake of Vedam), you will know what I am talking about.
Director Trivikram and Allu Arjun have collaborated on three different projects — Julayi, S/o Satyamurthy, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo — and every single time, they have given complete entertainers that also stand the test of time. And the seed for such successful projects was sowed with Julayi.
It’s hard for sequels, spiritual or otherwise, to keep up with the momentum of the successful original and also deliver something beyond that.
Allu Arjun’s best can often be enjoyed when he plays the underdog who comes of age and rises to power. This is the same concept that made Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo an enjoyable romantic comedy.
Sibling rivalry is at the centre of this mass masala film. You always fight, play pranks and create trouble for your brother, but these actions often always stem from deep affection.
Yevadu is an action entertainer that revolves around politics. But more than its plot, the film is known for uniting Allu Arjun (in a cameo) and Ram Charan. They are neither friends nor are they enemies in the film.
Think of feel-good films and AVPL tops the chart in Allu Arjun’s filmography. Multiple things fall right in place in this entertainer — fantastic songs (Hello ‘Butta Bomma’) inventive action sequences, an engaging and emotional plot and of course, above all, an impressive Allu Arjun.
After the Arya series, the successful director-actor duo returned with Pushpa, but this time with more massy fun.
