Case filed by Producers' Council..!? court gives a dramatic verdict!

The court has rejected a case filed by the Producers' Council demanding that cinema reviews be published only 3 days after the release of any film. How important is the story to the success of a film? Reviews play an equally important role. While mega-budget films and films starring leading actors reach the audience without any reviews, only reviews bring small-budget films to the audience. The biggest examples of this are films like Blue Star, Lubber Pandhu, and Lover. Earlier, only journalists would review films. But when YouTube culture came along, since then, everyone who has a phone has become a critic. Some people share their reviews while watching movies through facebook and Twitter.
One side says that big-budget films like indian 2 and Kanguva have not reached the audience due to such reviews, while the other side says that many films have managed to overcome the negative reviews and become successful despite the criticism. In this situation, after intensive consultation, the current Film Producers Council came to a conclusion after talking to the theater owners. Accordingly, while no one who comes to the theaters to ask for opinions about the movie is already allowed inside, they filed a petition in the madras High court, saying that the review of a movie should be published only 3 days after its release.
As the case came up for hearing today, the court that heard it said, "It has refused to ban the publication of reviews for three days after the release of the films. Although a complaint can be filed with the police regarding defamation, no order can be issued in general as critics' criticism is freedom of expression," Justice Soundar said. It is noteworthy that in the case seeking to formulate rules to regulate criticism, the Union, state governments, and YouTube were ordered to respond and the hearing of the case was adjourned.
