Criticism: Constructive vs Destructive VB note pg#6

I think everyone has noticed the various comments that have been made towards a certain actress on the show. Some of the comments refer to her acting abilities (weaknesses, strengths, what we would like to see, etc). And some of the comments are just plain bashing (destructive criticism) that attacks the actress and doesn't bring a productive discussion.

Thanks for sharing!!

I agree with your points. Talking about the weaknesses in any actor's portrayal of a character or what we feel they could improve given time and guidance is all good, especially if people are able to discuss what they feel should be improved.
Making comments about appearance however cannot be termed constructive criticism. I like Dev and enjoy her portrayal but no one's perfect and there are aspects of Gopi's character that she needs to grow into. I felt the same when Giaa was portraying Gopi. She did a great job but at times she could have done things differently.
I love Nazim but there were times where he was very stiff and his accent was pronounced. It's only very recently that he has become noticeably more animated.

Dev is doing well and hopefully the feedback she gets will help her improve her performance further.

thanks for the article dear...

well again there is a thin line of difference between constructive and destructive criticism... as Nazma said.. any criticism about the actor's.. personal life or her professional choices are deemed to be destructive ...which does no good

and i loved the line which says the one who are into destructive criticism are like the toddlers throwing tantrums to seek attention ...

i wish people to be more thoughtful as where the line of criticism ends and where the line of bashing starts

I think people are more intelligent on this forum than you think. But thank you for providing a definition so that those who don't know the difference between constructive critisism and bashing may take note. I hope that those who adore the new actress will realise that not all of us are bashing the actress but simply discussing her acting ability. And those who don't like her will hopefully express themselves clearly as to what they don't like about her without bashing her.

this post ws the need of time... for all those so called wise people...
