Who’s Really Torturing Whom? Reviewers or Producers?

We often hear movie producers complain that reviewers are “killing” their films or “torturing” the people who invested money by writing negative reviews.

But let’s ask the real question – who’s torturing whom?

The producer always has the option to say no and reject a bad script before choosing to lose money. No one forces a producer to make a poorly written, outdated, or cringe-worthy film.

But once a film is made and released, a reviewer or a website doesn’t have the luxury of skipping it just because it is bad -or even worse.

In fact, it is the reviewers who go through the pain first – sitting through these disasters and still taking the effort to write about them.

Yet, ironically, it’s the reviewers who get blamed.

Producers blame reviewers for calling out the truth, forgetting that it was their bad film that triggered the review in the first place.

One quick look at the recent string of Telugu films this year makes it all the more obvious, doesn’t it?
