First-ever cinema review bombing case registered

The director of the film "Rahel Makan Kora" has filed a complaint with the Kochi City Police, alleging that deliberate efforts were made to degrade the film on various social media platforms. This action comes in response to a directive from the Kerala High Court, which urged authorities to take action against vloggers and individuals engaged in malicious reviewing practices.

Review bombing, which involves large numbers of people deliberately posting negative reviews or ratings to damage a film's or any product's reputation, is a concerning issue in the entertainment industry. It can have a significant impact on the success of a film and can sometimes be driven by personal vendettas or other non-artistic motivations.

It's promising to see the film industry taking a stand against such practices and addressing this issue legally. Despite these challenges, it's important to note that the Malayalam film industry has continued to see success with films like "Kannur Squad" and "RDX" receiving positive reviews, indicating that quality work still prevails and resonates with audiences. This case may set a precedent for addressing review bombing in the future, protecting the integrity of creative work.
