Deepak33 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Posted June 15, 2013 [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Georgia, Times, serif][size=5]The debate over whether ‘Art imitates life’ or vice versa is one for the ages and the two are so interrelated that each of them has had substantial impact on the other. In its 82 year old history, Telugu cinema has had its share of ups and downs, but it has never let go the importance it has given to the hero above all else. For the longest time, the hero became a voice of the aspirations of the people and in him people found their dreams come true. Be it fighting against injustice, feudalism or even uniting two families, there’s nothing that a Telugu cinema hero cannot do. We have cheered for him since 1950s and the adulation has just grown bigger and bigger with time. Unlike few other regional film industries where story takes precedence, in Telugu films, it’s almost always has been about the hero, who rises like a phoenix, even when the story is bad, to entertain and enthrall the audience. It’s not that there have been exceptions and brief time periods where great filmmakers have tried to make the hero closer to reality, but the idea that a hero has to be invincible has been ingrained in our minds so much that any attempt to take a detour from this path sounds like a bold move. So, what exactly gave rise to this concept of hero in Telugu cinema? Society, in a way.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Georgia, Times, serif][size=5]Read more at [/size][/font][/color][url="http://blog.releaseday.com/articles/evolution-of-hero-telugu-cinema/#RK1wm084Q6DW1OoH.99"]http://blog.releaseday.com/articles/evolution-of-hero-telugu-cinema/#RK1wm084Q6DW1OoH.99[/url] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Georgia, Times, serif][size=5][img]http://blog.releaseday.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/1-Kathanayakudu.jpg[/img][/size][/font][/color]
