Ajay Bhupathi calls a reviewer as senseless
However, amidst the film's triumph, director Ajay Bhupathi expressed discontent over a specific reviewer's actions
By: Tupaki Desk | 19 Nov 2023 5:12 AM GMTAjay Bhupathi's recent Telugu film, 'Mangalvaaram', has hit theaters with an intriguing storyline set in the 1980s and 1990s and the film is drawing positive feedback from audiences. This psychological horror thriller has garnered acclaim for its directorial finesse and stellar performances by the cast, notably marking Payal Rajput's commendable return to Tollywood. Released in various languages, the movie is receiving accolades from critics, further boosting its success.
However, amidst the film's triumph, director Ajay Bhupathi expressed discontent over a specific reviewer's actions. Prior to the movie's release, Ajay Bhupathi had earnestly urged reviewers to refrain from divulging crucial plot points, twists, and especially the identity behind the brass mask worn in the film. Despite his plea, one reviewer purportedly disregarded these requests and revealed all in a video, leaving Ajay dismayed.
In a candid statement at the film's success meet, Ajay talked on the importance of ethical reviewing. He appreciated the majority of reviewers who upheld his requests and provided insightful critiques without spoiling the essence of the narrative. However, he admonished the actions of the one reviewer who, according to him, meticulously recorded and disclosed the film's pivotal details.
"99% of the reviewers showed ethical conduct, preserving the story's integrity while delivering comprehensive reviews. Yet, one reviewer meticulously recorded and disclosed every aspect. He senselessly revealed the entire story. It's crucial to review a film with integrity, respecting its essence and preserving surprises," stated Bhupathi, underscoring the significance of responsible reviewing.
