'Ramarao On Duty' Director Sarath Mandava Makes A Valid Point On Critics' Reviews

Hyderabad, July 11 - The critics' reviews have always been in question but in the last couple of years, the credibility of critics has reached the lowest level. However, it is unfortunate that critics' reviews are still able to influence the audience which is directly affecting some films' business if not all. ## In the last few months, many filmmakers have spoken about biased reviews by critics and the list is joined by the director of Ravi Teja's upcoming movie "Ramarao On Duty", Sarath Mandava. During a recent interaction with Telugu media, Sarath Mandava made a valid point on reviews by critics. ## The director indirectly stated that some of the critics are opportunists who give low ratings to some of the movies for their own benefit. While giving the example of a recently 1000-crore worldwide grosser movie, Mandava said, "If a film ended up becoming a huge blockbuster irrespective of bad reviews, will the reviewers accept their mistake & correct the reviews?"## He went on to say that reviews are perceptions of a few people and the audience should be aware of that. "For a big recent film, some of the websites gave 2.5 ratings but the movie ended grossing more than 1000 crores at the worldwide box office. If the audience like a film, they will make it a huge blockbuster irrespective of reviews", he added. ## Talking about "Ramarao On Duty", it is an action thriller film that is produced by SLV Cinemas and RT Team Works. It stars Ravi Teja in the titular role alongside Rajisha Vijayan and Divyansha Kaushik along with Venu Thottempudi, Nassar, and Naresh, among others in key roles.
