Tammareddy Bharadwaj has opened up on NTR'st recent comments about 'Dari lo poye danayyalu' (film critics).

"Actually, reviews don't affect a film's fate. Didn't 'Fidaa' become such a big hit only because of mouth-talk? If a film is made well, it will be a hit, regardless of the negative reviews that it might have got. Any review should talk about what is right and what is wrong with the film. It shouldn't get personal. As NTR was saying the other day, 'kodi guddu meeda eekalu peekadam cheyakoodadu'. The other day, someone wrote that it was all over for a movie on the third day itself. Who are these people to judge the fate of a film or a director or a hero? That is what NTR was trying to say," Tammareddy says.

Contrary to what many have assumed, opine some, NTR was not targeting review-writers per se. It is believed that he was only saying that nobody should say that a film is not doing well commercially in the absence of any solid reports.
