Let's Talk Movies | Zero | Anupama Chopra, Rahul Desai 

FOMO!

I would love to see him in roles like the one in Dear Zindagi!

My like for the video goes when Rahul Desai said :- "Shahrukh is the most talented and the best Actor among the 3 Khans And when he says Salman has limited acting skills." "And SRK has more potential than any other Actor" As SRK fan it is pleasant to be listening these lines. The discussion between you 2 are really Good. Hope SRK should watch this and learn where he is going wrong during last 2 years.

What I believe is there is a lot of pressure on Shahrukh to pull off a 200 / 300 Cr blockbuster. Thus the reason they go to scale the movie up.. If the movie was based only out of meerut or Mumbai...The Movie would have turned out great but wouldn't have been able to turn around with the numbers they were expecting... I understand the current numbers still would reach (or even less) but i feel the intention was to create a blockbuster. Feel sad for a person who's working so hard but his own stardom comes in between his success

Some historical movie ratings by taran adarsh😀 1)Lagaan-3 stars 2)Dil Chahta hai-2 stars("...The biggest flaw of the film is that it has been treated like an English film. To be honest, it is too western for the Indian masses to digest...") 3)Devdas-1.5/5(top grosser of 2002) 4)Raaz-2/5(2nd top grosser of the year 2002) 5)His comment regarding Shakti the power in his review-On the whole, SHAKTI - THE POWER has the power to satiate the appetite of those looking for meaningful entertainment-LMAO that's meaningful entertainment haha 6)Koi Mil gaya-2.5/5(top grosser of 2003) 7)He gave Flop LOC Kargil 4/5 in that year,dont know how 8)Dhoom-1.5/5(Kill taran please) 9)Bunty aur Bubly-1.5/5(we know it did well at box office and was also a good movie) 10)Rang De Basanti-2.5/5(please ask taran to know how to review films) 11)Chak De India-2/5(SRK fans,i dont need to say anything i guess) 12)Flop film Eklavya got 4 stars,dont know how,it was a mediocre movie neither did it click at box office 13)Rab ne bana di jodi-2/5(again wtf man,he doesnt like chak de neither rab ne neither rdb) 14)Karzzzzzzz-4/5(kill me plz) 15)Anurag Kashyap's great movies like No smoking and Dev D got 1/5 each.Plz dont ask me anything now You'll find many more if you want to

For god sake, talk about KGF!!! You guys are so into talking about ZERO even though you guys did not like the movie. We understood that you did not like it. MOVE ON GUYS!!!

Most of the people are hung up on the science part of the film being unrealistic. Yes, nobody will allow a midget to be the first human on Mars. But the film is a perfect rendition of human psychology. It shows how a self-proclaimed 'aashiq' melts in a second when he holds his baby for the first time. How a wheelchair ridden woman has a hardened heart. and how a filmstar with millions of admirers is clueless in her own love life. The dialogues were amazing such as - "Tujhe Himmat hai magar parwah nahin hai." I am not an SRK fan and I hated his last few films but this one is a very good film. Possibly this film will do better on TV. Not everything looks good on the big screen.

Why is a pan India movie like KGF being ignored by film companion? I can see 3 to 4 videos reviewing zero, I agree that it's SRK 's movie and will reach more people. But movies like KGF need the support from you guys to grow and bring diversity in the Indian film industry.

Y u didnt call Bardwaj sir.. Whats the point of discussing it with the person who also didnt like.. Means seriously..?

hey, love the let's talk movies section...just a humble request, have subtitles for the questions being asked or more clarity on their sound or both....till date I have never been able to hear those properly and assumed the answers to be just relevant discussion. #TakeNoticePlease #HappyHolidays

Critics may not stunt actual creativity, but critics do have the power to affect the audience's viewpoint and ultimate decisions as to whether to see the film. I saw many people who, after seeing so many critics pan Zero, decide NOT to go to see the film, whereas they were excited to a degree about seeing the film before the reviews came out. The groundswell of support only began after the people who ignored the reviews went to see the film and connected with it. It is interesting to hear a critic's viewpoint, but I never let it affect my decision whether to see a film or not because I don't like to give that power of my choices away to someone else. I know a lot of people who are like me in that way, but there are many who are not. I really liked Zero (and Jagga Jasoos, actually) and had no problem suspending my disbelief for the sake of the storytelling, which wasn't perfect, but WAS entertaining. So, no, critics may not stunt creativity, but if their reviews turn the audience away, they could make producers and directors of films take fewer chances on more creative stories intended to move Hindi cinema forward and that would be a shame.

Zero was such a nice film. I too was disheartened by the early reviews but when I went to watch it, I was really shocked. It was a pleasure to watch such a fun-filled flick finally. Of course it's tone was fairy tale like, the world of the film was Disney like. But at no point the film becomes dull. And the acting is fantastic. These reviews are so so so misleading, I don't understand the hate.

Rahul practically disses every movie and his favourite Shahrukh movie is Rab ne bana di jodi?

Why you haven't reviewed KGF?

everybody is in the bandwagon of not liking the second half now. Even the five-year-old will say the second part is dull now after watching all these reviews.

let us agree with the fact that we don't want them to stop at 29th min because the conversation was going really good about the srk's carrier and the real issues with the film, I really enjoy the depth in this conversation. thank you

That's why I love this channel. Its lovely to see two such great critics address the differences of opinion about the film. Also, despite being a huge huge SRK fan myself,I agree with both of you. Gonna watch it again to try to see it from a different perspective!

Both of you gave negative reviews. How do you even have a conversation without sitting with an opposite opinionated person. You both are just trying to satisfy yourself. I really wanted to watch a conversation when different opinionated person are sitting and debating over the table. Anupama mam, you're really letting me down, I must say.

No no no.. Now SRK is at the point of his career that people watch reviews and then decide whether to watch the movie or not.. @anupama you only talked about the news of fake negative reviews before film released. I felt really bad for him. I saw the movie, I know it have some flaws, but still it was enjoyable and it way better than happy new year, Dilwale n jhms. I don't know why People are after him so much.. they are judging movie without watching the movie.. I am huge SRK fan, but I feel pity for him.. And your review does matter guys..

Only ZERO? Why not "KGF" ? I don't think they have even watched it

The second half of the movie was a disconnected mess. Atleast the first half felt a bit coherent. I hope the fans of Shahrukh realise that if you continue to back such average movies of his then you are giving him a terrible feedback, a feedback based on your love for the star and not the content. You are stunting his growth and putting him in a bubble. He needs to choose better scripts. If the script is bad, the film is bad. Doesn't matter how hard you worked for it or how well you acted in it. And, no. Zero is not an experimental movie. It had Om Shanti Om & Jaaneman vibe to it. All the best SRK! You will bounce back!

Once again a film is being put down because of people’s expectations from the star and not looking at the film as a FILM. Same thing happened with Thugs as well and it is not fair. I liked Zero, yes, the 2nd half was slow and boring in parts but it was no way near bad. The movie is a solid 7/10.

I don't understand you already reviewed zero gave your opinion on it and now this? Is this even necessary? The film is currently running in the theatre. Are you trying to sabotage the film? Because it clearly looks like you trying to. This particular segment could have come at the end of month where you could also talked about Simmba. But 30 min discussion on zero and why it didn't connect. Your 30 min video can actually stop people by going into the theatre. Let the audience decide the fate of the film. I am not a big SRK fan but I feel it's really unfair to put down a film and ripped it a part completely.

When a movie which is about a dwarf which starts in Meerut and ends in mars,you can’t say much Bollywood is pathetic,video games like god of war,uncharted,last of us and red dead redemption have better performances and script

Pehla half anand sir ne bnaya h or second half farah khan ne It’s simple guys! Srk - 4/5 Zero - 2/5

Then how do you explain your comments on 2.0 ? How can u explain your support to Shankar sir's vision and asking fan to watch it ? When you're asking fan not to see Zero ? Don't you think Zero deserves a try ? We shahrukh fans aren't fanatics, it just we have had enough from you guys.

Honestly I am not interested in watching this..May be if Bharadwaj had joined I would have watched.. Coz Anuapam your first line of review is still echoing in my ear "I am still trying to understand Zero" ..Never expected such a thing from a senior critic.. Sucharita talked about both good and bad .but you... Didn't even mention about SRK'S performance..Like you told before you should watch Tumhari Sillu for lovely Vidya .One must watch Zero atleast for Shahrukh..If not now then plz watch when it will come in TV,you can see his efforts.. Never had any expectations from Rahul Desai ..I haven't even read his reviews..

Haven't reviewed KGF.....Very sad you didn't support south Indian movies

God damn it!!! Zero is good.. And everyone around is liking it.. Lets not be so peculiar .. Its a good fun loving light hearted movie and lets just review it that way

Hey Anupama and Rahul, I’m a huge fun of your movie critique talks. A few months earlier, Tumbbad wasn’t discussed that apprehensively which lead to the movie getting a smaller share of theatres. This movie was eventually loved by the audience and the critics, whilst it was a little too late as the movie was out of theatres due to movies being released from bigger production house. I urge you to watch the movie KGF and envisage your opinions regarding the movie. This is a pure gem that deserves to be seen on the big screen. It would do a huge favor to the Indian film industry if you decide to spread awareness regarding the movie amongst your hardcore audience. I have utmost faith your team would shine the spotlight on KGF once they have seen the movie. P.S. The box office collection of KGF has exceeded Zero over the first weekend.

why they are justyfying their reviews🤔

Miss Anupama Chopra the film didn't work for me either. But I think you played a key role in pulling this movie apart. This discussion was absolutely necessary. But not today. When it's just the 4th day. My tickets were booked for the first day late show. I watched the movie after watching your review. I could practically hear your voice in my ear. I wasn't sure if my opinion was unbiased or if it was you. Please make sure you give a film a fair chance. Ethics, question yours. I prefer Rajeev Masand , Bhardwaj Rangan to you. Rajeev after all these years doesn't give his review till 10pm. Been watching his reviews for 13 years now. Bhardwaj is in no hurry to pull down a movie either. You came in at noon...overeager with how much the movie disappointed you. Hungry for views. Even Rahul Desai. Just understand it's so easy to sling mud at a movie. Both of you have never made one. It's so easy to talk about it. Anyone can do your jobs, probably better. The difference is if you can do it with your moral compass intact. When I went to bed the previous night I'd only seen positive reviews & was really excited to watch it & it makes me wonder if I would the think the second half was bad. After your reviews , it opened the gates for everyone to trash it & then I went in expecting a bad film. So disappointed with you. Rajeev & Bhardwaj thank you for doing your job with dignity & righteousness. Suchitra is also good to an extent. Rahul & Anupama , no one trolls you'll without reason. I'm not a Shahrukh fan. There's something wrong in what you'll are doing, you'll need to internalize. If everyone is questioning you do you think they're crazy or if you're in your own bubble? If this lady has written an open letter you think she has no good reason? Karan Johar in his autobiography slyly points out how you're the only critic he doesn't like. Again no reason? The same reason you didn't like zero (neither did I) is the reason I don't like you anymore either. First half of your career you were good. Second half of your career , the fame has gotten to you ; you're unable to accept positive criticism & imbibe the same. Question your ethics. High time.

Without bharadwaj this discussion is incomplete..he is an actual critic who analyzed everything abt zero

I really liked Rahul's analysis at 24-27. I totally agree with him. Shahrukh is definitely the best combination of a star and an actor that there could ever be in Bollywood. He is so talented and has immense potential. We have seen that in movies like Swades, Devdas, Chak De, MNIK, DDLJ, FAN, Raees, Zero, Veer Zaara, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Darr. He is someone who can pull off the toughest of roles with aplomb. He is just not getting the right story that is able to soothe and entertain and capture the imagination of all (most if not all) the audiences alike. I just wish and hope that it comes to him sooner than later because he deserves it more than anyone else. Love to Shahrukh for being the amazing talent and hard work machine that he is! There's everything to admire in this man and it wells you on the insides when his movies don't do as well as his megastar stature. Maybe it's just that the euphoric love and extreme emotions that Shahrukh gives rise to in almost everyone that the expectations are highest from him and even the smallest of follies and flaws get highlighted way beyond their measure! Gosh! Too much pressure being him! So, God bless you, Shahrukh! Live long and keep making movies that you feel from the heart. It's always a treat to see you on the big screen!

Wow Rahul love you man... I got the dose of Validation I seek today when you said, "SRK is most talented Khan among the three and he always has been the best actor among the three". Love you man. Coming from you makes me think i was right. That Validation for today is enough for me to feel good about myself.

That's a very insightful conversation about SRK. Being his fan it hurts even more that he hasn't delivered a memorable movie apart from MNIK in this decade 😢😞

From 24:00 till end they have said everything absolutely right.. It got emotional listening to their analysis..

Hey Rahul.. all SRKian are well mannered n decent like SRK. N we are not fanatic.

dont u think that u both r discussing zero too early.........why r u trying to damage it more.....u can discuss it after 1 week.......have u any hidden intention...bol do kya jata hai

Second half was tad too lengthy .... In these ambitious projects it's easy to get carried away but I still like that srk goes about the process of film making even today as he went 3 decades earlier... On pure instinct .... Blaming srk for everything is a carefully manipulated and absolutely moronic piece of journalism

I still don't know what was wrong with FAN. But then I remembered that Anupama madam gave 2.5 stars to Mad Max Fury Road. I think she requires too much context in a movie instead of content.

I watched this movie thinking I'd really dislike it. So many of SRKs recent movies have not just disappointed but made me angry. But not this one.. I really enjoyed it! Was enthralled by SRK after a long time.

58 crs in 3 days is quite a business. People always don't go to movie theatre with logical reasoning, we are not cracking CAT exam here. Guys please don't criticize just for the sake of criticizing. People will disrespect you in future.

suchi 😭😭😭😭 i want her too 😩

Seriously ? Why no KGF review ? None of these Bollywood critics have reviewed this masterpiece yet ! Good movies should be promoted ! Aur dekho race 3 , thugs of Hindustan, zero ! 😡

If Rakesh Sharma's Biopic Is Made, Critics' Review - Anupama Chopra - How did a guy from Ludhiana end up going to space?? I still can't get this story. Rajeev Masand - This Story is so much incoherent. It is like an adaptation of Zero. Taran Adarsh - I have not got payment, take 1 🌟

Hey Anupama Mam, Lets Talk About Your Movies 3 Idiots - A Dead Child Wakes Up By Hearing All Is Well (LOGICAL) PK - An Alien that Looks Like Us Comes To Earth From Other Planet and Also Learns Our Language, Learned Knowledge From A Prostitute But Still He Didn't Know About Condom (LOGICAL) but but.... A Guy From Meerut Going To Mars Is ILLOGICAL?? We need your answer..

I think Shahrukh needs a director who isn't from Bollywood like Majid Majidi or Alfonso Cuaron etc

Shahrukh should do more films like swades

U both should have atleast talked 5 mins about VFX. Have u ever seen that in world cinema.

No talk on KGF Why?

It's been 4 days guys!!! Did you guys even watch KGF? Isn't that your job? Just to watch movies? And you guys aren't even doing that right!! I think I'm done with your guys obesseing about ZERO. How much explanation will you guys give for not liking the movie??

Had this been any younger actor like Ranveer,Aayushman,Rajkumar etc these people could have connected easily..

movie wasnt up to the mark .. ok but no way it deserve 1 star reviews esp from these european reviewers

Critics do make or break movies now. People rightfully want to check how a movie is before they spend money on it. And access is much easier. So, yes; you do have a lot of power. But that means you should do your job as faithfully as you can. Just making you aware of the power you have..😊

the Reason why They made the Video..is that they are Regretting about the Video they made For ZERO, and the Time they got trolled they Took a deceasion to make this Video , I really want to see Them to make a Review on Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Movie.

Mr #RahulDesai you cannot call SRK fan as A Fanatic ,. Its a Connect To the Star By the Fan . If u can Urge the people to Watch 2.0 then why not ZERO. And Rahul mention that Anand L rai. does not know how to shoot scene please yaar please Stop it.

Read bardwaj rangan review. He should have been there to offer a different perspective. I loved the film. It was so different from usual bollywood film. Escape from reality. The way movies should be. The movie is very risky. Social media reviews are way too harsh. the protagonist are not usual bollywood hero/heroines . Kat was surprisingly good. I just didn't like the cameo part.

Everyone in the comment section is with an agenda. Its really funny. Some mindless SRK fanboys. Some south film fanboys. Some film companion haters. Some bollywood haters in general. Some anti khan people. People got no chill. Its just a simple movie discussion, where they are expressing their thoughts. Why does it have to include a discussion on KGF? Isn't film companion south meant for that? Though its absurd that there is no review of KGF from film companion even though its a pretty big film. Doesn't mean it has to be included in the "Let's Talk Movies Segment".

Woowww tq love this chat! Tq for ur point of view....Agree... Zero has too many plots and could break into 4 small films..... I love Bauaa wt his friend & families, Bauaa enter to Babita world, Bauaa went to space center, Bauaa - Aafia love story.. even if they make into web series Im dying to watch it! And Rahul tq for mentioning SRK the best Khan...proud fan :)

I would like to see Shahrukh in more movies like Dear Zindagi . That was endearing , touching and that worked so well .

hmm so desai is an srk fans that sums up why in one of his earlier 'Let's talk movie' sessions on thugs he said i am not much of an aamir fan..:d and that statement at 05:52 i havent seen any superstar trying to reinvent himself [abt srk] is a pure well amusing:d

Wonderful discussion, as a non-filmy person I got to learn more about industry expectations pressures and critics skills. Good learnings for me to be applied across industries. Thank you for the honest opinions and facts.

I feel really privileged to be able to listen to this discussion. Love it. Thank you so much

I am general audience and what I want is after spending 250 bucks i expect only entertainment, so I am not in theatre for finding out the subtext that you talk about.The first half for me was far more better than that of second half and that's it.I am just hoping that the shahrukh comes with a bang in his next one.👍

Anand l rai cut the budget blend two different movies in just one...1st tym seen two different story from same casting in the same movie🤔

Wow! Finally saw your face!

Five years later these critics will wake up and say they did disservice to the film because they had to watch it under pressure on a Friday. Typical ya.

have you heard of kgf?

Invite a person who liked the film...You all are biased... You are fool

the way his guy is explaining what went wrong with the movie is pure gold......just keep up the good work......and speaking about the film, I too lost the connection when anushka came on screen ...she has literally sucked the life out of it

Rahul need to chill a bit. He chimes in abruptly and cuts Anupuma. And she is nice enough to let him do that even though she can easily set him straight with her knowledge and eloquence

So Dear Anupama, Is bashing the whole movie just for for 10-15 minutes justified!! and no need of giving any disclaimer that don't watch,there are spoilers..Because of people like you people without watching the movie giving negative reviews..You claim to be a SRK fan,so your reviews matter more than anyone's review ..By the way what was SRK's reaction after watching your review?? I wish his reaction not to be like of Aishwarya that "you are entitled your own opinion' but like Kareena kapoor "you are being mean" or Sonam Kapoor "Do critic have any school" ..lol..

Kgf better than zero but there is no review for pan India because of SRK.

Rahul was amazing in this video, he just carried this video like Dhanush did in Ranjhaana

In my humble opinion, a film review is less about the movie but more of a reflection of the cherished values, cinematic understanding, intellectual capability, aesthetic sense & exposure levels of the film critic himself. A movie review actually gives us a chance to peep into the personalities of anupama, rahul, rajeev, rangan,etc. People who share similar values as that of the film critic are more likely to identify with the ratings given by that critic. One can be objective only about the technical aspects of a movie. As far as judging entertainment quotient is concerned, it is an extremely subjective matter, esp in a country as diverse as ours. Anyone agrees?

I liked the Bharadwaj Rangan review a lot..I could get a whole new level of viewpoint and details that one can have while watching a film and it will help me gain more joy while watching upcoming films..The way he explained the metaphorical scenes were just awesome.. And you said SRK deserves better fans..I am a fan of SRK since my childhood and I never hated any other actor..I respect your viewpoint but donot agree and I thinl I have that right not to agree.. So please don't say that SRK deserves better fans..He is an emotion to me..And there are many like me..Loved this conversation!! #Proud_SRKian

mam u cant discuss a film without having an opposite perspective......if bhardwaj sir were there that makes a sense.........u are intentionally doing double damage to ZERO

it was great listening to you guys.. i always wait for "lets talk movies" videos...

they got it wrong when they said critics do not harm the films......nowadays there are thousands of critics there on the net and all of them appear on social media and there are thousands of memes based on the critics review.....and then on the day of release when these memes appear on peoples social media walls.....they create a negative impact on audience's mind.

the first half of this video is good and the second half is pathetic, I am giving this video 2 stars

Good craft is like fire .As much as you avoid (kgf) it will spread more

"King of Romance" killing Shahrukh Khan.

in Koffee with Karan, Salman was asked if he any pay attention to reviews and he replied ask reviewers them if they even take thr own reviews seriously. So for the sake of Bollywood you guys need to own your role, don't end a video saying that please don't take us seriously. It's humble but at the same time disrespectful to do a review but at the same time disown it and tell the audience to not take it seriously.

What Audience was expecting 1.What was Baua's financial source.....How he spends so money ?....Its unexplained 2.The Dance selection was damn taken for granted scene.....unexplained 3.Cameo of so many stars - Unnecessary 4.How anushka sharma have gun ? Unexplained 5.Mars mission - common ...There is difference in selection process of indian idol and Mars mission.....Taken audience for granted. 6.Why anushka SRKs baby point have to be there in between ? 7.How Katrina keep srk with her so easily....?That connect not explained and not visible. 8.Kamal ye nahi tha ke last me anushka ne monologue kaha - kamal ye tha ki audience itne bure second half ke baad bhi hall me thi - boring unnecessary monologue.....!!! 9.The guilt which SRK feels about ditching anushka is not built up properly. People were expecting the connect ..... 10.I was wishing very hard for this film to work but second half ruined all the hard work of SRK. Feeling sorry

Enough of Zero please ✋ Y no KGF ??? its tremendously winning everyone's heart n such an Awesome movie buzzing everywhere but no sign of such a Blockbuster here till now

I want the tri u rahul n Rajeev to do hit n misses of 2018.. we wanna see u guys together n just talk about films

1. SRK keeps caricaturing himself. 2. He needs to reinvent himself. 3. I don't think it's possible.

Why didn't you review kgf?

What happened? Wasn't Rajeev Masand supposed to be a part of this too?

"Critics don't make or break a film" is a moot point. If reviews aren't relevant to educating a moviegoing audience, then why does every newspaper/entertainment portal/website have a reviewer? It because multiplex audiences DO seek "expert" opinion before booking tickets. When you read a review with a title "a surreally bad srk starrer", it deters people from watching the movie and forming an independent opinion. And that eventually affects the movie's collections. So yes, critics can impact a film. So I really hope you guys pause to consider the positives (and not just negatives) before reviewing a movie. It's just a friday, 6 minute video for you, but the crew of Zero spent 2 years working on this. If not the movie, atleast respect the film-making process.

Jagga jasoos was amazing i am still sad it didn't make money

I like how Rahul just says it like it is - no nonsense. It was so palpable Anupamas discomfort when he said SRK was a better actor than the other Khans. I mean she might be an SRK fan for his romance but I sense from her reviews she still thinks Aamir is a better actor (which I couldnt disagree more). I mean for the general viewers who might be somewhat film illiterate I do understand how they connect with Aamir films. They might not look into the flaws of the performance per se and no I'm not looking down on them. Not everyone needs to be a cinephile. But how could a critic like Anupama who watches all these movies Indian and international not see how limited Aamir is as an actor (including and especially in comparison with SRK). I can not think of a single Aamir performance which SRK couldnt have done but a whole lot of SRK films that Aamir couldnt.

I want baradwaj sir to review KGF. No hopes with Anupama and the rest of your team.

I don't understand why media is not promoting kgf. It's is super duper block buster. These people will sit and discuss flop zero and Bollywood films even though the content is zero.

I don't know why these bollywood so called critics don't reviewing KGF even though it got good wom😡😡 Those who are neglecting kgf CHAPTER 1 movie they come to FDFS review for KGF Chapter2.. Wait for that moment 👊

After watching so many people commenting and discussing KGF, I went to watch it. Utter disappointment. The same South stuff about one messiah born to save people from all their miserable lives. Generic dialogues. In the kannada version the dialogues might sound good or what I have no idea but ears hurt to hear the hindi ones. Overuse of background dialogues and music to push up the stature of the our hero like shoving up in our ear that this man is so great, love him. I don't get what people are raving about so much. PS- I haven't watched ZERO, don't have the patience for anymore bullshit after watching KGF.

Well I don't know how much effect a reviewer has on the overall business of a movie, but I can speak for myself. I was going to watch the movie after the trailer, and now I will not spend money to watch the movie because the critics I trust didn't like it. I don't think I watch any movie without hearing the critics anymore. So I get that you need to be honest about your job, but you need to take responsibility for its effect as well. Thinking critics have zero impact on a movie's business is being juvenile.

Mr. Rahul Desai, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi wasn’t a lesser of a film, it was bashed by critics, it wasn’t promoted much, it released just after the Bombay Blasts, but audience loved it and went on to become a huge blockbuster!

That is exactly my point. Ppl bashing critics saying that they r purposely getting the film down,doesn’t make sense at all. Just cos they had a good intent n had done hard work u can’t be all fake n say that the film is good. That just isn’t fair to ur job. U guys have to do ur job n they have to do their job.
