I am not a movie fan, neither I read reviews often. But this review irritated me a lot. I don't remember seeing so negative review in my life. Entire text is appearing to be carefully chosen to prove a point or address an agenda. The review is too negative to be true.
The role of the critic is to provide a balanced and honest assessment. It should not be biased, coloured or one-sided. Objective assessment is the critic's job. Not to put forward a pre-conceived notion.
It is true that we will go up the culture-ladder if we have no bad film. However, we will scale a better height if we have no such bad reviews.
Between a bad film and bad review, I will prefer the former. A bad film is at least a creation, there is some creativity. A bad review is nothing but destruction.
* 300 crore is believed to be the maximum revenue a Bollywood movie can collect * 100 crores is a fail safe target * 50-60 crores max is the budget of the film * 5-10 crores marketing budget * 20-30 crores is the amount paid to star actors and director * 15-20 crores is the amount spend on actual production including building sets and post post production.
In such a shoe string budget, one dares to challenge the odds and these reviewers just cut down to size the efforts.
Thankfully some film makers are so motivated, they don't get demoralized or discouraged to make even a better movie the next time..
Otherwise such reviews can be so demoralizing to those who want to go extra mile to put Indian film industry on world map by taking greater risks.
Re: Such a reviews can be highly demoralising.
