Ram Gopal Varma On Obsession
Varma is pretty famous for not holding back when it comes to cinema , so he took to social media to praise ‘Obsession’ for sticking to the story first instead of some usual commercial formulas. He’s saying the film shows audiences still will watch and connect with something fresh and compelling, even if it doesn’t come with mega stardom or super lavish production values.
Ram Gopal Varma also pointed out that a lot of directors have become almost too dependent on proven stars, franchise style films and remakes , as if that is the only route to box office safety. But in his view ‘Obsession’ works like a reminder, that strong content is still the main ingredient for how a movie lands and leaves impact.
He said, ”After the example of Obsession Producers and directors should treat low budgets as liberation, not limitation and focus their resources on performances, path breaking editing, and creative sound design , not to forget visionary makers The ROI here will seem obscene and vulgar to the producers who wasted 100’s of crores and shot their films for years.”
Naturally , his comments got a response from many movie lovers who have been complaining for ages about the industry leaning too hard on familiar patterns and spectacle driven entertainment. And yes , his praise has already kicked off conversations about whether *Obsession* might push more filmmakers to take creative risks, or not.
