In the realm of Indian cinema, both Bollywood and Tollywood have recently seen announcements of films that have stirred up attention even before their release. Naga Chaitanya’s “Thandel,” directed by Chandoo Mondeti, and Varun Tej’s “Matka,” known for its vintage content and extensive budgets, are two such examples. However, it seems that Amazon Prime Video is now bringing content that closely mirrors the storylines of these anticipated movies.
Thandel and Arabia Kadali Plot
Firstly, there’s Satya Dev’s “Arabia Kadali,” depicts the tale of a group of fishermen from rival villages who inadvertently trespass into international waters, leading to their imprisonment in a foreign jail. Interestingly, the first glimpse of Naga Chaitanya’s “Thandel” portrays him as a fishing boat captain facing a similar predicament in a Pakistani jail. The timing of such similar storylines has left many pondering over the uncanny resemblance.
Varun Tej and Vijay Varma’s Matka
Secondly, Prime Video’s “Matka King,” starring Vijay Varma, revolves around a plot loosely based on real events, depicting how a cotton trade sets the stage for the emergence of the Matka gambling game, ultimately evolving into a mafia. Earlier reports hinted at parallels between this narrative and Varun Tej’s “Matka,” which unfolds against the vintage backdrop of Srikakulam.
Four Films With Same Theme!
“Arabia Kadali” and “Matka King” undeniably share thematic similarities with “Thandel” and “Matka” respectively. If these series are released on the OTT platform prior to the theatrical release of the Telugu movies, comparisons are inevitable and may impact their box office performance. It remains to be seen how this situation unfolds and whether it affects the anticipated success of these Tollywood films.
In the dynamic landscape of Indian cinema, the emergence of parallel narratives across different film industries is not uncommon. However, the timing of such resemblances and their potential influence on audience reception and box office results add an intriguing dimension to the discussion. As audiences eagerly await the release of these films and series, the impact of these overlapping storylines on their commercial prospects will be closely observed.
