Jr NTR discusses the impact of the audience's mindset on movies

Even though Devara has done well at the box office, Jr NTR pondered about the reason movies are not doing well at the box office. In a recent interview with India Today, the actor opened up about the audience's habit of overthinking and analysing films instead of simply enjoying them.

He stated, "We, as an audience, have become very negative these days. We are not able to enjoy a film in an innocent manner anymore," Jr NTR said, according to India Today. Reflecting on his own experience watching films with his children, he noted that kids simply enjoy movies without analysing or overthinking. "I wonder why we are not able to be that innocent anymore? Every film today, we are watching it to analyse. We are all constantly judging, analysing, and overthinking about films. Maybe our exposure to cinema has made us like this," he added.

Jr NTR went on to say that the current trend might just be part of a cycle in how audiences connect with movies. He's hopeful that this phase will pass and people will go back to enjoying films more casually and without overthinking.
