The Kerala High Court is addressing a complaint against movie reviews, emphasizing their role in informing rather than causing harm or seeking payment. The court-appointed adviser suggests a 48-hour review embargo post-release to prevent undue influence. Shyam Padman proposes a cyber cell portal for complaints against fake negative reviews, citing vloggers aiming for financial gain. Justice Devan Ramachandran highlights the importance of reviews for knowledge but also protecting the reputation of film individuals. The High Court directs action against anonymous posts condemning films, unfolding in the ongoing cinematic debate.
What did Kerala High Court Judge Devan Ramachandran say?
In November 2023, the Kerala High Court was dealing with this case. The judge mentioned that reviews should be about giving information and knowledge. He also said that the people who make movies shouldn’t have their reputation ruined just because some people want to say whatever they want. The court had earlier told the state police chief to take action against these anonymous posts that try to bring down a movie. This happened after petitions from the Kerala Film Producers Association and others. The High Court wants the police to follow their order and deal with these posts that try to harm a film.
