This lady who works with India Today always give bad reviews to 99% of Bollywood films.I think she has watched so many world cinemas that she has lost the perspective needed for reviewing the Indian movies. Our movies are different from the movies of the world except in some cases e.g, art movies etc.

She literally describes watching and reviewing Indian movies as her work and not passion. It shows in her reviews also. You cannot really depend on her movie reviews to get the right kind of knowledge about an Indian movie.

It's better to look for reviews of other reviewers or best, go watch the movie yourself to know the reality.

Here are the only films she has rated over 3 in her 20 year career as a film critic:

Ship of Theseus (4 1/2 stars)
Sexy Durga (4 stars)
Dam Laga ke Haisha (3 1/2 stars)
Tanu Weds Manu Returns (3 1/2 stars)
Dangal (3 1/2 stars)
Sultan (3 stars)
Mukti Bhawan (3 1/2 stars)

her standards are too high.
If we rates any movie 2 stars or more, than you can conclude that the movie is fine😆.

Worst for me is Raja Sen, who is so biased it is not even funny.

She is with Indian Express. She hardly gives above 3 and half. just two three times a 4.
Anyways she with her fellow reviewers from The Hindu hardly help people in deciding whether to watch the movie or not. She gave R...Rajkumar 0 and all those Grand Masti and all that also receive a big 0 from her. That is only help her readers get from her- Ignoring zero rating movies.

TWMR was given 3.5? Then she's just a fraud. Don't care about her.

Agreed. Raja Sen is the epitome of biasedness.
