No film made today is without its violent scenes. Without the violence it would not be considered grand. Most films are currently being made focusing on violence around the world, not just in this language. Why are films with violent features so successful?
Violent human nature. Beyond that, many qualities have to be achieved. Any work that produces extreme lust, hatred, and violence does not fail so easily.
The latest example is the ‘Squid Game’ web series released on Netflix. They select people who need money and put them in a place. Sports competitions played in childhood are held there. The prize is for one person in a competition of 456 people. Will the OK losers be sent home? No. They will be shot right there. The Himalayan success of the series is due to the fact that our local minds begin to anticipate who will be the next victim, even as its scenes begin with humor. Exactly, a series that takes care of human emotions. What is running through us if we are enjoying scenes of being killed in various ways? The series was a huge success worldwide due to the brutal violence it unleashed.
Well, there was such a thing as a superhero story. It would not be surprising if it could not be expected in 90 per cent of the films currently being shot in India. Still, films depicting extreme violence in the current situation come within the ‘minimum guarantee’ of success.

In particular, the pressure of the story is very low in the Tamil film ‘Sanikkayitham’. Despite being a revenge film it was repeatedly talked about for its violent scenes. Subsequent reviews of the film noted that the atrocities in the violence were minimal, as if maximum violence were not a problem.
Well, now Vikram can come to the movie. The film has been a huge success from the day of its release to its critical acclaim. Kamal Haasan is in a very excited celebration. But, looking away from the fan mentality, it seems to ask where the story is in the film. Superficial story. Kamal does not have many shots. Neither does Surya. Bahadur Fazil is from a nearby state and no one is going to look for him. If Vijay Sethupathi collects Rs 200 crore, he will laugh.
So, what are the reasons for the film’s huge success?
When the film first started there were no big things that impressed anyone except the anticipation on Kamal Haasan and Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Next, the combination of Vijay Sethupathi and Fahad Fazil in the film had additional features but the villain was Vijay Sethupathiya again.
Even though the teaser-like scenes were released until the end of the shoot and sparked interest, the whole expectation started from the advertisements that were made continuously.
This is an advertisement for Lokesh Kanagaraj’s World. Interest in Kamal who came to acting after 4 years. Above all, the word ‘Vikram’ that the entire film crew said was a new experience.
Undoubtedly, it can be said that the film has been such a great success because it feeds the ‘violent’ desires that are frozen in the public mind.
People born in the late 1990s are now occupying social networking sites. Memes and comments are shared fast enough to tarnish the name of the whole, even if a minor mistake is made. If the film is criticized as bad in the first scene, Rs. Despite being made at Rs 100 crore, there are widespread fears that the film will embrace failure.

Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. There is also the impact of video games to some extent behind these successes. The films also cater to the ‘shoot’ interest given by games created with too many guns. In that sense, KGF is one of the most influential films of all time.
Vikram has also succeeded commercially at some point. But why is the KGF so unrelated to the story in its comparison? The reason is that ‘extreme’ violence.
Most of the movies today are directed with this mentality of human beings as the goal of success. The truth is that no matter how many actors he has acted in, it is not a beautiful love story and ‘Vikram’ would not have made so many crores if it was a problem of daily life. This will be confirmed by the forthcoming ‘Brahmanda’ films.
