It seems Paresh C Palicha is a stingy miser of a man who won't even part with the stars. He writes buckets-full of good things about the movie and then gives 3 stars. "Run Baby Run" which was a reasonable movie got 2.5.
Any other language reviewer would have given this 4 or 4.5 stars. In fact, if this were a Kannada movie, this would have received 5.5 or even 6 stars !
I think its common in the review business to give only a maximum of 3 rating if the publication/reviewer is not paid in someway or other ..
Once a restaurant owner in Bangalore told me that a reviewer from a newspaper who reviewed his restaurant told him, that he really loved the food and the ambience. But since the restaurant was not paying the publication he can give only a maximum rating of 3 stars(or was it 3.5 ?).
Look at the review of Usthad hotel by the same reviewer. He says its a great movie and then gives it 3.5 stars.
Totally agree with your review..But the rating is not at all matching with the same...Outstanding movie should get the rating 5/5 or atleast 4. What's the parameter of rating in rediff. Whether commercial aspeacts are included while giving the ratings...if so it's really sad to know that

you are wrong...is bollwood that is a copycat of telugu and tamil movies.. malaylam movies excel in complex themes, many tamil movies with outstanding stories and narration..good entertaining movies from telugu.. bollywood too has entertaining movies, but your statement is rubbish..
As usual, the 'OUTSTANDING' film gets a mere 3 star rating! Is there a standard Rediff policy that stipulates a default rating for South movies, which no reviewer can alter?

Because the word OUTSTANDING was not stated by Raja Sen
