Readers trump critic
This is the thin edge of the wedge for film critics everywhere. The film section of Mumbai Mirror on Monday, 25 May, has issued a small clarification called “RATING REVISED”. On Friday, Mirror’s film critic Rahul Desai had given the newly released film Tanu Weds Manu Returns two and a half stars. But “following reader feedback and research which differed significantly from him”, the paper decided to upgrade the ratings to three and a half stars. Where does that leave their critic, we wonder.
