Critics exist because people need them. And that%u2019s why newspapers and news sites keep them on pay roll. From point of viewer, why I need critics? 1. India is in transformational phase and so are our industries. Coke made in our country is still substandard compared to global. And it is also true about Media. Just observe Media from News channels to Movies. Do you think they satisfy our needs? If yes how much. Here I am not comparing with US. Just imagine what kind movies or media you would love to watch. Is it there? Of course it is, but then what percent? Critic is making me aware about certain bad products so I can save my money and time.
2. If I have seen certain English films, I don%u2019t need to watch it again with Hindi songs. Such experiences are unique.
What I want from GOOD critic? 1.See IMDB Film reviews, they are certain ethics, If you elaborating plotline or specific incidents, or key plot point story. They put tag %u201CSPOILERS HEREIN%u201D. And I expect this from critic. I need to know how good or bad film is, whether it is remake, how good camera work, how good is acting, how my favorite artist fared. I DON%u2019T NEED DETAILED STORY OR PLOTLINE. Tagline and/or Punch line is ok.

(continued) 2. Adaptations based on novel are common phenomenon, Akira Kurosawa,one of the greatest filmmaker, used Shakespeare%u2019s work as foundation. And always referred it, at the very start. Adaptations are one thing and Lift off is another. I want critic to let me know about ADAPTATION/LIFT OFF/DVD COPY 3. I see good, but offbeat films underrated and commercial hits, but otherwise Remakes/lift off%u2019s overrated 4. Why not put CRITERIA. Say Out of 100 percent, Good Story 30 percent, Direction 25, and Techinical Side 10%, Acting 25%, Music 10%.AND MINUS 30 PERCENT OF COPY/LIFTOFFS/DVD COPY. Five Star System is not good scale; there will be bound to be biased and manipulations. You should at least have 10 point scale.
