Unprecedented Hype Surrounding Vijay’s ‘Leo’ Raises Questions on Film Criticism Integrity

 The excessive hype surrounding Vijay‘s upcoming Tamil film, “Leo,” has indeed reached unprecedented levels, and it seems that both critics and trade experts are contributing to this phenomenon. In their pursuit of social media attention and influence, some have resorted to making exaggerated and even ludicrous statements, often to please a specific fan base.

One recent example of this trend is a critic’s claim that “The pressure for Leo tickets is real. Kerala will witness the highest number of tourists from Tamil Nadu on October 19th!” This assertion suggests that people from Tamil Nadu would travel to Kerala to secure tickets for “Leo” due to unavailability in their home state. Even die-hard fans may find such statements amusing and overblown.

The concern arises when these individuals, who claim to be critics, engage in such behavior. Ordering Leo-themed merchandise and acting like die-hard fans with these outlandish comments can call into question their ability to review the film in a genuinely ‘critical’ sense. It’s no wonder the Tamil film industry lacks ‘critic’ reviews akin to those seen in the Telugu industry.

This phenomenon raises questions about the integrity of film criticism and the impact of social media on the industry. While the use of social media can be a powerful tool for promoting films and engaging with fans, it should not compromise the credibility of critical reviews, which play a crucial role in helping audiences make informed decisions about what movies to watch. The balance between entertainment and genuine critique is essential for maintaining the quality and authenticity of film criticism.
