A good review need not necessarily require the usage of bombastic words. Raja Sen tries to project himself as very erudite by his choice of words. Unfortunately, a more discerning reader will easily see through this facade and realize the hollowness of the views expressed in his articles. His criticism is usually backed by prejudice and contempt towards the makers of the movie. He never really attempts to provide a balanced viewpoint that helps the viewers to make an educated opinion about the film he reviews. His review of Om Shanthi Om clearly exposed this bias. Off late he is making no attempt to hide his affiliation to one specific group of film makers in Bombay.
And this article was a cheap potshot to hit back at RGV who stripped his review naked on his blog. RGV hit him hard and all that Raja Sen can do now is to cry like the crybaby he has always been.
