Have you ever wondered whenever Raja sen writes writes a bad review, the message board is filled with things like:
1. This guy suck! I am going to watch the movie. 2. Since rediff rating by " raja sen " is 1 star i am going to watch the movie. 3. This guy doesn't know a thing criticism of a movie. I am going to watch the movie.
See a pattern?
Well i saw it. And was just wondering whether this idiot from rediff is using reverse psychology on us?
May be yes. May be no.
In any case since this guy never follows a pattern on writing a review and is Optimistically Pessimist about bollywood. I choose to ignore the review by him, but yes, its a fun to read the comment below the review.
Since the review the by raja sen is bad/super bad, i am going to watch the film.

Dear Vipin,
Here I beg to differ with you on your views about Raja Sen's credibility as a Film Critic. I saw both the recent releases that he had thrashed on this page b4 this one and believe me I am feeling like tearing my hair-apart for having taken a contrarian call. bcoz including this bull-shit of a GOAL which I unfortunately, saw last night heeding Raja the SENsible would have saved me some vital bucks for invetments into a mid-cap. He has been spot on with SO-worry-a and Dhan Dhana Dhan Jhol. heed my advice do not buck the trend lest you wish to part away with your hard earned cash

And Mr. Sen if you are reading this, please try to reason out your "findings" in more logical manner and please try to give some positives of a movie. A movie is after all a dream painted by the director. It might be true that you didn't like the painting at all, but for god sake let us know which colour of the painting did you like and why?

Dear May,
They say the read the first and the last paragraph of any literary thing to know what the writer wants to say. Well you should read mine carefully if you wish to understand what i wanted to say. I said:
In any case since this guy never follows a pattern on writing a review and is Optimistically Pessimist about bollywood.
This is the crux. Mr. Sen has never reviewed a movie like a true critic. No doubt he has all the rights as a critic to bash the "bad" points of the movie. But thats the thing.
He always bashes.
I dont remember reading a review where he distinctly wrote that " watch this part of the film carefully you will never forget the message/ cinematographic beauty/ camera angle of the scene for your whole life"
In other words i have never read any " Positives of the movie" by this guy. Thats why i wrote, he is Optimistically Pessimist about Bollywood.
