If the name of the movie was "Bloodgirls" or "Killgirls" or "Gungirls" and story is a dark,grisly,unsettling thriller happening in a shady New York brothel with lotsa blood,gore and swear,our Rajabhai wouldve given it a 5 star rating.Eventhough I'vnt seen both the films in question(Dreamgirls,Apocalypto)one thing I pretty much know is our Mr.Sen is a huge disciple of Martin,Quentin school of dark thriller filmmaking.No doubt those are great filmmakers in their own rights but a good reviewer should not be prejudiced and subjective.I remember even "Walk the Line"was a crap according to Raja Sen.Its high time he gets his act together and work on providing "less controversial"reviews!

having said that, I must add that a bad film is a bad film regardless of genre -- or hype.

Well,thanx Raja.Ppl here do like tearing u apart,isnt it?? lol!! So when ru making your film like ur colleague who made Ek Haseena Ek Khiladi? And u better be warned! If its not a dark thriller(Indian film industry desperately needs one and its high time we give our Ramu a break!), ur a dead meat!! I'll be reviewing it !! - Arun Kumar
i just finished Dreamgirls.I would say its a wonderful movie and the musical has been well made as a film.Raja you need to go for a film appreciation course...and watch out for the beauty in the spirit rather then sitting hr and cribbing.
Raja sen is just useless. He has one job and he is not good at at. Most of us are high IQ people probably holding good jobs and thus we can understand some movies or think beyond bollywood and appreciate other indian movies or unconventional movies but raja sen's IQ and common sense is very limited plus he probably has a low paying job and when south directors dont pay him he abuses them same with hollywood guys.Good thing is if he says the movie is bad go and watch it.
guys, Jennifer Hudson made her debut in this movie and without any starry halo surrounding her persona, gave her role her soul and the oscar was for that! it was a recognition for someone who played the role as if it happened to her in real life
oscar worthy or not, watch this movie for Jennifer's heartbreaking voice - and yes, am just getting tired of Raja Senji and his 'impartial' reviews! he is becoming another Khaled Mohammad

Mr. Shahensha, Why are you so angry-? You kight be knowing that certain reviews are bsed on financial gains.
Raja Sen is just maintaining consistency! So far he hasnt failed me, just do a 5-(Raja Sen's Rating) and decide to watch or not. Ex he was perfect with Eklavya, guru, Nishabd..
