These days makers in Telugu Cinema decided that it is critics who are the main villains for their shortcomings. Right from Jr. NTR to Allu Arjun, Duvvada Jagannadam director, Harish Shankar to now, Vikram Sirikonda are blaming reviews for their film failures.
Vikram Sirikonda, the director of Touch Chesi Choodu, latest Ravi Teja film blamed that reviews have killed his movie and he is highly upset with this growing trend.
He said, "I have been working in Film Industry for 14 years now. But never did I say to anyone to not watch a certain film ever. I respect the opinions as everyone can dissect our work but who are critics to ask people to not watch a film?"
He went on, "I believe they are using their reach and power, wrongly. They should just say how the film is and dissect the positives and negatives. But they going a step ahead and recommending people to watch it or stay away. This is not right."
Even few distributors started blaming critics saying that they should understand the dire conditions of the Industry and not be too harsh on every film.
Well, one thing we must say, films like Fidaa, Arjun Reddy have benefited from many critics recommending them to viewers. Critics are just 1% of the audience who watch every movie and share their opinion. As few people ask for recommendation, they add it in the review.
It is better to concentrate on making the best possible films and then blame a person who watches every film to talk about the merits and demerits with an audience.
