Dear Raja,

Till date I have been an avid reader of your reviews and to me you have been one of the best reviewers online. However this incident of revealing the RACE climax has completely shocked me. I thought of giving it a benefit of doubt that for once you have let the reader down. But I am further disappointed with you trying to justify your actions. I believe that a person tries to justify when he starts getting cornered or he feels he is wrong. You and I will both agree that you are not god neither do you have the final say for deciding the fate of a movie. It is upto the viewers to brand it as a hit or a flop. Atleast the directors/producers have made an effort to make a movie and they are not compelling/forcing viewers to go and watch RACE. I somehow feel that you owe an apology for your actions but then if you have a stubborn ego then probably you can go on arguing and justifying your actions. A polite sorry will do nothing but maintain your respect as a reviewer otherwise you are ruining your reputation as a good reviewer. Rest is upto you to decide!!!

raja sen gone crazy

well guys i live in USA
so the taste of movies for people living in states is different from people living in india and i really liked this movie
its far better than those SRK's love stories
this movie is holding everyone and i dont know how come this idiot editor is giving his thoughts
i dont understand y a media needs one person to judge movie for 100 crore people
he should appreciate this movie as its different from most of them
god knows when bollywood will come out of fancy love stories and start making movies like TZP, Race, RDB and very similar to it.

Hi Raja,

I have been reading movie reviews for the past one year now.. I dont know why but i have never ever read a good review of an Indian Movie on Rediff... I have read awesome reviews on Hollywood flicks even if the movie is crap.I have never ever read a positive review for a movie in rediff.. You guys gotta do something about this!!!

I think this is creative advertisement

REMEBER, any publicity bad or good works!!! I honestly believe that this falls straight into that category.

Should a film critic talk about the climax? who are we to question about ethos and do the film maker possess any ethics .... ???

More, this is artistic creativity, so lets give the writer the space

NO DEFENCE NEEDED
by jysublime on Mar 28, 2008 12:17 PM

ITS ABSURD, THAT THE REVEIWER HAS TO COME OUT AND DEFEND HIS REVIEW STUFF N ALL....RACE IS PUREST OF PURE COMMERCIAL ZILCH, WHICH HAS NOT EVEN A SINGLE IOTA OF REALITY, MEANT FOR JUST KILL-TIME-FUN, EVENING, AND 4 PEOPLE WHO WATCH MOVIES AS A COMPULSION, AS RELEASES KEEP DWINDLING OVER A PERIOD OF TIME....ALL DRESSED UP NOWHERE TO GO...RACE/X/Y...IT WUD NEVER MAKE A DIFF. N who cares/remembers REVIEW 4 SUCH A MOVIE.

IN A POPULATION OF 100 CRORES, AIDED BY FREE DISCUSSION BOARDS, IF A MAX 1000 PEOPLE WRITE STUFF, BASED ON THEIR THOUGHTS, A REVIEWER NEED NOT COME TO HIS DEFENCE AT ALL.

INSTEAD LET US HAVE REVIEW OF ENGLISH MOVIES/REGIONAL GOOD MOVIES - ALL LANGUAGES.REDIFF OF LATE CUT DOWN REVIEWS OF ENGLISH MOVIES WHOSE RELEASES R OUTNUMBERING HINDI ONES.

IN THE END TE FAMOUS SAYING ''IF EVERY RUB HURTS, HOW COULD/CAN THE MIRROR BE CLEAN''.

Mr. Sen

Well you seem to have bigger ego about your view than the film makers seems to have with their movie! For god's sake, stop promenading as a critic and fix your head. Good or bad, you have no business revealing the climax. Let the public decide whats good for them.

I cant believe that you have written this follow-up piece after the initial mistake. You are using the media to settle personal disputes and thats appalling! Why dont the two of you talk and keep us out of this!

And before you jump to conclusions like you regularly seem to do, I do not represent the film makers.

I watched this pakistan movie Khuda ke liye 3 months back & its one of the finest movies I have seen the direction,the acting & the best of them all is the music.Everyone should watch such a masterpiece from Shoaib Mansoor.
