No point in bringing personal intellect: Sonakshi on critics - Page 6

What she said can stand independently without reflecting on him or the movie and she is the only one who is at and should rightfully be at the receiving end of the reactions or comments about what she said.

It's great that you enjoyed R...Rajkumar with your brain in tow. It's always better in fact when your brain can also be among the organs which enjoy a recreational activity. I think I can definitely also say that you are not the only person who enjoyed it, just as there were others who didn't. Both are equally entitled to voicing their opinions.

Ram Leela is not a great example of a movie that was loved by critics. It is perceived as well-received not because of its story, but because of the overall content (let us call them visuals because SLB) and the numbers that it did at the box office. It was critically average or decent at most, and nothing to write home about unless you were an avid fan of one of the two main actors, whom I'm sure did write home about it like all fans do.

That people did not get bored for even one second: that is your personal opinion because I'm sure there were people who not only got bored but even suffered some harm to their psychology as Rajeev Masand seemed to have expressed in one of his tweets.

I do not speak on the forum for anyone else as there are all kinds here who do all types of things, but you can rest assured that I think very similarly of other people who place $$$ ahead of everything else in this industry as I have expressed of Sonakshi and I have never been among those who have clocked Shahid or as a matter of fact, anyone whose movie(s) have not done financially well. Simply put, I do not diss on the basis of $$$. But I care and do speak about people's performance, potential or talent.

This is my point precisely. I like Shahid a lot myself, but I see no reason why Sonakshi's statement cannot stand as an independent reflection of her attitude to films, and not in relation to said movie. Sonakshi's general attitude is in question here, not any particular movie.

Boycott Sonakshi's movies 😆 Just kidding!

But seriously, it tells me not to have any hopes of her actualizing her talent and indeed does give everyone a chance to see her priorities for what they are. And people are going to say their piece about that, whether it's disappointment or denouncement 😆 Yeah, maybe we're being harsh...but hey, who isn't measured on the same yard stick in this industry.

I am defending Sonakshi's statement because I agree with it..I will go further than what she did..instead of calling it "personal intellect"..I would call it "personal agenda" of the paid critics..I have been ranting at the maliciousness of the critics for RR from the longest time..I am happy Sona agrees with me..😳

I know it is in a way suicidal for the actors to go against these critics..they tend to take revenge in all their subsequent reviews..Taran Adarsh has still not cooled down because Shahid revealed his substandard morals on twitter during "Mausam" time..he is still burning..he is burning even more now that RR has done well in spite of his best efforts to kill it..😆

I was never a Sonaskhi fan to begin with. Never seen much of her movies. 😛 It's just I started following her cause of RR and started liking her ... even liked her cause of Lootera.

My point is simple ... She is too young and it's too soon to judge. Sooner or later, she'll get tired. She got 10 more years to go -- if she doesn't ruin her image before. 😆

That's the whole point of having film and artistic critics. They are supposed to be intellectuals analyzing a work from a student/professional's POV and not to be blown away by whistles and jeers of cinema hall audience. If you don't want to be panned by critics, stop working in sadak-chhap movies and get into serious work and if you are merely concerned about BO earnings and mob jeering, do what you are doing and don't bother yourself with the critic's opinions. But to expect critics to turn imbecilic just because your movies are such, is lame.

She has done almost as many films as Ranbir in just half the time! So when is it not soon enough to judge?
