The Film Critics Guild (FCG) has strongly condemned the online harassment and threats directed at reviewers who gave mixed or negative feedback on Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh

A still from Dhurandhar
Critics have given Aditya Dhar`s film Dhurandhar, which stars Ranveer Singh, mediocre reviews. Anupama Chopra, a veteran film critic, received a lot of criticism on social media a few days ago for her negative assessment of the film. Later, she removed the review. The Film Critics Guild has condemned the attacks on movie critics for their Dhurandhar critiques.
In a long statement shared by Film Critics Guild, a part of it read, "The Film Critics Guild (FCG) strongly condemns the targeted attacks, harassment, and hate directed toward film critics for their reviews of Dhurandhar. What began as disagreement has rapidly devolved into coordinated abuse, personal attacks on individual critics, and organised attempts to discredit their professional integrity. In recent days, several of our members have faced intimidation, including direct threats and vicious online campaigns aimed at silencing their perspectives, simply for expressing their professional assessment of a film. More concerningly, there have been attempts to tamper with existing reviews, influence editorial positions, and persuade publications to alter or dilute their stance (sic)."
