Positive Reviews Flow In For ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ Post OTT Release Despite Box Office Failure

Laal Singh Chaddha stirred several controversies even before it hit the theatres. From Aamir Khan’s de-ageing to Mona Singh playing his mother on screen, the arguments held against the movie seemed endless. Moreover, the #BoycottBollywood gang kept coming at it ever since the trailer launch.

Here’s the thing. We are aware of the Twitter bots. We are aware of the paid reviews, both good and bad. We know how to differentiate between a genuine movie review and a hate campaign. But the larger audience doesn’t. Even today, they log into Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to check for reviews, based on which they decide to go for the film.

So, when they see a barrage of negative Twitter reviews, whose only aim is to spread hate, they get the wrong idea and decide to skip the film. The same thing happened with ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. Sure, the film has certain drawbacks, the biggest of them being Aamir Khan’s nonsensical portrayal of the character ‘Laal’. But did it deserve to tank at the box office the way it did? I have my doubts.

Because ever since the movie was released on an OTT platform, it has been receiving positive reviews from the audience who wished that it had become a box office success. Have a look:

Earlier, Jayeshbhai Jordaar received immense praise on social media after its OTT release, but it too had tanked at the box office. What do you think should be done to get rid of this problem?
