It has been quite a contentious year as far as reviews are concerned. Allu Arjun was the pioneer. He was the first big hero to take potshots at film critics after the release of 'Duvvada Jagannadham'. More recently, NTR made headlines when he described "some critics" as 'Dari lo poye danayyalu' who thoughtlessly decide the fate of a film even before experts (audiences) have given their verdict.

It's now the turn of Vishnu Manchu to slam the critics out there. "When a movie is watched with attention, a correct review can be given. Respectable reviewers do not give updates while watching a movie," he has tweeted.

A similar opinion was expressed by director Teja ahead of the release of 'Nene Raju-Nene Mantri'. He got sarcastic in a big way. "I don't read reviews. It's not my job to read them. I don't understand how can someone connect to the movie while making notes or writing down their observations. If someone is able to do that, he should be better than Steve Jobs," he had said.
