Hero wants to stop reviews for 2 days: Will it Happen?

There is a growing commotion in the South Indian film industry to curb the cinema reviews culture. There is a new demand that film reviews must be halted for at least two days from the day of the release.

In this connection, hero Satya Dev has remarked that cinema reviewers must be vary of the repercussions that their reviews have.

“These days, the audience is watching films only based on reviews. This is more prevalent in the case of small films. So, my request to reviewers and critics is to be vary of the kind of knee-jerk reactions they can have on the film industry and act accordingly.” Satya Dev commented.

Though Satya Dev has a valid comment to make, it might not entirely be feasible. If a film is good, then the reviewers and critics will rate it positively, which would in turn result in better box office reception. If the film is bad, then the reviews will be in accordance and the box office verdict will also be similar.

The emphasis should always be on the good quality of films rather than the nature of the reviews. This is where the film industry appears to be lacking.
