Madras High Court Issues Notice On Plea To Prevent Online Review Of New Movies For First 3 Days After Release

Live Law  

The Madras High Court has ordered notice on a plea to prevent online review of movies within the first three days of release. The association submitted that often times, fake profiles were created on social media platforms with the sole purpose of posting negative reviews about a movie in exchange for monetary compensation. While it was admitted that there were genuine reviewers who gave fair criticism of the movie, the association submitted that recently there has been a rise in YouTube channels indulging in negative review bombing, sometimes using derogatory words, to increase their subscriber base and views which has become a serious threat. The association informed the court that due to negative review bombing, there were instances where the producers had a hard time selling the movies to the OTT platforms and Satellite channels and in some cases even theatres were getting closed due to poor box office performance.
