After Indian 2, Kanguva's debacle, Tamil film producers move HC for ban on film reviews for 3 days after release

After Suriya’s Kanguva saw a bunch of negative reviews, Tamil Film Producers have issued a strong statement requesting theatre owners to ban fans' interviews on YouTube channels. Now, the Tamil Film Active Producers Association has filed a writ petition in Madras High Court seeking a ban on movie reviews for three days from its theatrical release. It is imperative that all the associations related to the film industry unite and stop this practice by not encouraging them anymore.” Before this, in 2023, Kerala was the first state to establish a ban on YouTube reviews for seven days following the release of a film after Mubeen Rauf, director of Aromalinte Adyathe Pranayam, filed a case to ban YouTube reviewers from theatre premises alleging that their negative public opinion videos affect film’s business. Back-to-back flops Several big budgeted films like Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan’s Vettaiyan, Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 and recently, Suriya’s Kanguva have failed miserably at the box office due to huge amount of negative reviews immediately after the film’s release leading producers to suffer huge losses.
