Vijay Antony Lashes Out: Critics Don’t Get My Films!

Vijay Antony, the music composer-turned-actor known for Telugu blockbusters like ‘Bichagadu’ (1 & 2), is making waves on social media. His latest film as an actor, ‘Romeo’ In Telugu (Love Guru), was released on April 11th to mixed reviews. While it didn’t dominate the box office, it garnered a decent turnout. However, Antony seems unhappy with the critical reception and has taken to social media to express his displeasure.

In a fiery statement, Antony lashed out at critics, particularly one referred to as “Mr. Blue Sattai Maaran”. The statement, loosely translated, expresses his frustration with critics who “mislead” audiences and “criticize good films” like ‘Romeo’. He urges audiences to form their own opinions and not be swayed by negative reviews. Antony emphasizes that ‘Love Guru’ is a good film and encourages viewers to watch it for themselves, adding a plea: “Don’t make Romeo(Love Guru) into another ‘Anbe Sivam.'” (‘Anbe Sivam’ is a critically acclaimed film that reportedly underperformed at the box office.)

Antony’s statement has sparked a social media debate. Directed by Vinayak Vaithiyanathan, ‘Romeo’ is a romantic comedy-drama featuring Vijay Antony and Mirnalini Ravi in lead roles. The story explores the life of Arivazhagan (Antony), a Malaysia returnee who enters into an arranged marriage with Leela (Ravi), an aspiring actress.

The film navigates the couple’s journey and how their marriage shapes their lives. Despite the controversy surrounding the film’s critical reception, Vijay Antony has a busy schedule ahead. He has several films in the pipeline, including ‘Agni Siragugal’, ‘Hitler’, ‘Khakee’, and ‘Valli Mayil’. Whether these upcoming projects will spark similar debates or garner unanimous praise remains to be seen.
