In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in the types of movies being made. While commercial films always have a huge following, films that question societal systems and bring out social messages are gaining popularity. From Rajinikanth to Ram Charan, many stars are now focusing on such impactful stories.
Movies with a social message stay in our hearts for a long time. This is why directors like Shankar, who blend commercial elements with strong messages, have such a high demand. Koratala Siva also followed this path with movies like Srimanthudu and Janatha Garage. Last year, director Venky Atluri took on the education system with SIR featuring Dhanush, creating a significant impact.
Whenever filmmakers highlight the flaws in the system, the result is usually a memorable film. This is why movies like Indian, Oke Okkadu, Tagore, and Leader have left a lasting impression. Particularly, films addressing issues in the education system tend to make a strong impact. From Shankar's Gentleman to Dhanush's SIR, this concept has always worked well.
Recently, many movies discussing the flaws in the education system have been successful. Films like 3 Idiots, Taare Zameen Par, and Chhichhore were big hits. The latest addition to this list is 12th Fail by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, which achieved great success. Superstar Rajinikanth's upcoming film Vettaiyan is also centered around education.
Directed by Gnanavel of Jai Bhim fame, Vettaiyan focuses on a police officer's fight against the flaws in the corporate education system that emerged in the 1980s. With a stellar cast including Rana Daggubati, Fahadh Faasil, and Amitabh Bachchan, it will be interesting to see how Rajinikanth works his magic with this compelling storyline.
