Reasoning given by Raja proves that he is an educated fool. There are at least 10 points in his review which are misguiding and/or immature.
I simply loved the movie. Requires certain degree of intelligence and sense of humor to be able to appreciate the writing/direction/screenplay of this movie.
FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE CRITICISING ZNMD and appreciating raja sen .
ZNMD movie is for intelligent cinema fans. It requires patience and some basic education to appreciate the little moments that make the movie special. DCH was successful and touched everyone because it was straight forward.
There were no intertwined moments or storyline that made you THINK for a while about the movie or gave u time to relate it with real life. It gave it straight to you. The people who are unsatisfied , its because they lack the intellectual and societal ideologies to appreciate brilliant cinema. Most importantly they dont have patience to understand.. they just want the loud cinema like dabang, and ready
Raja's reviews are the best among the contemporary bogus paid reviewers.. those who are criticizing him are either very young or too amateur to understand the whole filmmaking & its dubious marketing.. and if you are hellbent then no one stops you to watch this dumb nonsense movie in empty theatres proclaiming to be intellectual.
everyone is free to watch any movie.. people even like to watch porno movies and they have a valid reason for that, so individual preferences and choices can not be challenged...
Instead of promoting western tourisms, Indian filmmakers must try promoting Indian tourism, which would be more helpful to economy..
As per my preferances, instead of watching fake amateur depictions, I would switch to more professional coverages like Discovery, NatGeo or other lifestyle channels or simply move out for some genuine adventureous excursion trips instead of fooling myself watching some nonsense idiotic drama.
Re: Best honest reviews by Raja

When i watched this movie, i was trying to get some grip on the story which didnt exist at all. It was more like a mix of National Geo and Adventure channel. Also looked like a doc on Spanish Tourism.
There was a time when I never watched a movie until it was recommended by Raja Sen. I still wait to read the review on rediff but with the diffrence that I may still watch the movie even if it was not recommended. Therefore, I went ahead and watched ZNMD and enjoyed it thoroughly. Sen claims that he grew up on DCH; Well I belong to the same school, my tastes for fils have been shaped by Hollywood and the likes of Farhan Akhtar and ultimately it was this faith more than Sen's bashing that made me watch the movie. And yes, I sat thor all episodes of Farhan's TV sitcom and enjoyed it too. No I dont belong to the majority that comment on this site and those who enjoy the likes of 'Dabang' and 'Singham'. Yet, I found the movie refreshing enough, the dialogues witty enough and the pranks believable enough.In fact, it reminded me of my own moments with friends. notwithstanding the affluent background of the charcters in the film, they were all relatble. Zoya has taken as much cinematic freedom as was evident in the seminal DCH. How can DCH be realistic and not ZNMD ?! How can 3 idiots be called a better film, as Mr Sen rated it highly ? How believable is Amir Khans character and antics in the film ? Mr Sen you are getting tiresome and boring, these days I just skim thro your reviews and read the last few lines. What a shame ...

@Shivani: I agree! There was a time when I found RajaSen's reviews to be honest. That was a long time ago... nowadays I have the feeling that he intentionally takes a diametrically opposite view everytime. Probably he gets a kick out of the angry reactions/responses to his increasingly outrageous reviews! Whatever his reasons are, the lack of conviction shows in his reviews - they are so hollow.
@RajaSen: Please compare your recent writings with those you posted a few years ago and you will know what I am talking about. Perhaps you are in greatest need of absorbing the core message of ZNMD! Here's hoping that you will regain your old self and not play to/against the gallery.
Rediff :If you cant post my comments then dont ask us to give commnets!!! I only posted my comment as you have asked to comment on Raja Sen's review. But just not posting will not change fact. Raja sen is mental retard.
