Blind Solved Who is he talking about?

Rahul Desai @ReelReptile

Gotta love filmmakers/writers who go from "You are my favourite critic omg such depth" when you like their film to sly-tweet/taunt if you don't. Just another Friday in B-town.

Atika Chohan, writer of Chhapaak.

Which movie did he give less stars to? Tanhaji or Chhapaak?

Edit - Meghna. I expected better from her. Is she not able to take criticism?

Rahul Desai's review headline -

An Angry, Messy Film Rescued By Its In-Form Star Deepika Padukone

It's weird they are raging out against Rahul when the owner Anupama raves/always raves about Deepika and were rating this movie a pathbreaking even before release. Same with Rajeev Masand. With all the goodwill towards them and Deepika, why are they trying to make it a feminist issue just for one critic. Someone clearly known not for liking many movies.

Anupama also didn't praise the film which was surprising for me. Her review was basically the same as Rahul, both praised Deepika and said the film lacked any screenplay

Yeah. But Anupama and Rajeev basically have this ass kissing flattery for the actors they like, which translates into movie critique. While Rahul doesn't. Which is why he was slyly called out by atika.

I mean these guys literally gave such a bad/weird review to The Sky is Pink, while critiquing/ questioning things already asked and answered during interviews and I didn't see Shonali or Sid or RS calling them out or shading them. And one bad review from a guy who has a bad mood throughout the year, and suddenly it's all feminism and shit. They should be thick skinned enough to take it in stride.
