Karan Johar reacts to harsh reviews of Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor’s Nadaaniyan: ‘Nobody wants to be kicked…’-OxBig News Network

Karan Johar broke his silence over the criticism received by Nadaaniyan at the trailer launch of his first Punjabi production Akaal: The Unconquered today. The filmmaker explained that what critics write in their reviews for films is both their right as well as job. But he did find some reviews of Nadaaniyan ‘disturbing’. The Hindu quoted Karan saying, “A critic wrote about Nadaaniyaan: ‘I want to kick this film’. When you write like that, I have a problem with that.” Karan explained, “I find it disturbing because intellectual cinema lovers should have a sensitive and compassionate side. Nobody wants to be kicked because kicking is violence. In the real world, words can be equally violent.”

With a filmy and very witty twist, KJo concluded, “Bas yahi kahunga, purane gaane ka yeh alfaz hai ki ‘kuchh toh log kahenge, logo ka kaam hai kehna. Chhodo bekaar ki baatein, beet naa jaaye raina’.” Lately there have been debates on social media where netizens have wondered why Ibrahim and Khushi’s Nadaaniyan has been judged so harshly. Is it because the young star kids are being compared to their actor parents? Shouldn’t they get another chance to prove their worth with a different genre and script? What are your thoughts?
