When Films Fail, Why Are Critics Always The Villains?

Director Vignesh Shivan shared a heartfelt message after his film LIK received good reviews on OTT platforms.

 He worked with actor Pradeep Ranganathan on this project and talked about the challenges the film faced during its time in theaters. He also thanked the audience for their renewed support.

On social media, Vignesh mentioned that many people told him they didn’t go to the theaters to watch the film because of the negative comments online.

 He pointed out that some movies manage to succeed even with bad reviews, but others have a hard time when people’s opinions change quickly.

He said LIK was a sincere and original Tamil film that deserved more support from the audience.

 He also talked about the difficulties of making and releasing the movie.

He admitted that the film’s box office performance was hard to accept, especially after a strong start.

But he also noted that many great movies in history weren’t appreciated right away and found their place later.

There’s another side to this story.

 Although online negativity can influence what people think, it shouldn’t be the only reason a movie doesn’t do well in theaters.

In today’s world of social media, almost every movie release gets criticized, mocked, or criticized in some way.

 Still, real good movies often make it through that noise because of strong word-of-mouth and audience support.

From a reviewer’s point of view, blaming just negativity might be too simple.

 After all, audiences spend their money based on what they see in the movie and their experience in the theater.

Constructive criticism and audience feedback are important parts of the filmmaking process.

 Not every bad performance at the box office can be blamed on outside factors.
