what is this term samosa critic - genuine question :)

Critics who are believed to have been paid off by producers. Presenting the situation as they do a favor for the producer and get a box of samosa in return. The samosa in this case being a metaphor for money of course.

The likes of Kadel, Jaiswal, Tuteja, and lately even Taran are constantly referred to as samosa critics. And if they give a bad review then it’s assumed they didn’t get their samosas. As has been the case with the movie Kalki and Jaiswal & Kadel recently.

Critics/analysts who take money to give positive reviews

How did this term samosa critic come from?

Because they "Actually" get Samosas during the interval of these special screenings.

There are 'groupings' even at these screenings like in any other work space. So newbies usually are in a hurry, and huddle around the snacks (Samosas etc.) corner to get them. The seniors, the already experienced ones refer to them as Samosa Critics. They stay in a separate circle and have conversations with the producer/actor etc. whoever related to the movie attends the screenings.

Pehne Newbie Critic Samosa Critic hota hai, phir paise kamata hai. In the earlier days, production guys/PR arranged 'covers/envelopes' with money and passed them on with these 'Samosas' Snacks during the break or press meets. Nowadays, it is more digital, but the terms/slang have stayed on.

The review IF gave seems - to me - appropiate to the impression I got until now. I certainly will watch the movie exactly for what seems to be the forte: individual performances and the "banter"...something 'light' but still entertaining
