Um, where am I making the decision for others? I was solely speaking for myself and other reviews I have read for this film which I also shared on the BO thread on the forum during the first week of its release.
Whatever positive attention the movie is garnering cannot be taken away by any critic or the audience who happen to dislike the film though. Negative reviews can coexist with positive reviews. If all those directors and actors have praised his work, then good for Vanga. But must that mean that a negative review shouldn't be entertained just because a Allu Arjun or Rajamouli praised his work? That's bull. The film is a success at the end of the day. Now what reason a section of audience or critics attribute to it is not something he or his crew can control though. Like Gadar 2 was said was BB because it spoke to the RW sentiment and nationalist audience, same with TKF, and many others. But does that mean he'll fight every critic and audience and abuse them? And most of the stuff is not unfounded either. There really are theaters full of guys wanting to see this because they want to stick it to feminists, or watch raunchy scenes. It's not a shocker.
@Bold - Now that just means he's carrying a vendetta when he's bringing up the reviews from KS. If he were to see Animal reviews alone, I still maintain that the reviews have been about the movie alone. The critics can be phony and you can make out who are their friends with their reviews alone but nobody psychoanalysed him this time. Even Anupama who he challenged and rather gave a rude interview to, praised the movie in her review at few points she liked. She was balanced this time. Although he's taking the criticism of his movie, as a personal criticism of himself. He himself is not objective, he's still out there defending Rannvijay instead of saying it's a flawed character.
Lolol
Yep exactly …negative and positive reviews can and should co exist
But same with kabir Singh and this, ppl who disagreed with the film felt the need to tell others that they should also do the same, or else their morality is questionable …
The whole reason why the whole “stick it to the critics and pseudos” narrative started is not because people are in support of mysoginy
…people are against being talked down to , being moral policed, as if they were idiots who can’t form their own opinions or need to be taught righteous film viewing …the discourses such as “why does this film exist ? We failed as a society of this film is a hit…ppl liking the film are a threat to society…this film shouldn’t be celebrated” all stem from these “reviews” and subsequent podcasts and roundtables the critics had ….
a negative review is one thing, moral policing ppl or looking down on their tastes, is another …particularly when some ppl can even see the merits in the film..
Same applies to cherry picked criticism that is gleefully ignored in other reviews of problematic films …
Now that, is truly bull
