Inspector Avinash director Neeraj Pathak admits OTT is falling for formula: ‘There are books on traits hero should have’
- What’s Inside:
- Why Inspector Avinash director thinks shows are ‘falling for formula’.
- His thoughts on what makes a ‘hero’ these days.
- A peek into the world of streaming!
We just caught an interesting quote from Neeraj Pathak, the director behind the Randeep Hooda-starrer, Inspector Avinash. He’s saying that the streaming world, or OTT as it’s called, is starting to feel a bit too samey. Like, a bit too formulaic. You know, where you can almost guess what’s coming next?
He even mentioned that there are actual books out there telling creators what traits a hero *should* have. It sounds like they’re trying to tick boxes instead of telling a fresh story. Imagine that!
It makes you wonder about the visual style, right? Are we losing the cool, unexpected aesthetics for something more… vanilla? We love when shows surprise us with their look and feel, not just the plot.
Pathak’s talking about how the pressure to deliver hits might be pushing things into a predictable zone. It’s a bit of a bummer if true. We want more creative sparks, not just rehashing old ideas.
Our Take
Honestly, we get what Neeraj Pathak is saying. It feels like sometimes you’re watching a show and thinking, ‘Yep, seen this before.’ It’s like a recipe that’s been used too many times. We’re all for a good formula if it works, but we also crave originality. It’s a tough balance, but we hope creators find ways to keep things exciting and visually interesting for us viewers!
