Dil Raju Calls For BAN On Reviews For 3 Days After Vijay Deverakonda's Family Star Fails at Box Office

Producer Dil Raju backed the three-day ban on reviews after his recent release, Family Star did not perform as per expectations at the box office. The film, which featured Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur, was released on April 5 and was expected to open big. However, as per Sacnilk.com, Family Star earned only Rs 11.95 Cr in India on its opening weekend. Speaking in a recent interview, Dil Raju cited the Kerala court’s judgment of withholding reviews for three days since the film’s release and said that the same should apply in the Telugu film industry.

Speaking with TV9, Dil Raju said, “In Kerala, a court has directed to stop publishing reviews for three days after a film’s release. Something like this should be enforced here too for the betterment of our industry. We made a good movie, please come to the theatre and watch it. If you like it, tell it to others. You didn’t like a movie, that’s your opinion. But, don’t force your opinion on audiences.”

“The family audiences have appreciated this film and have given good feedback. It has reached its intended audience. Producers are the first who are affected by these negative reviews. If this trend continues and damages pile on, there will be fewer people willing to produce,” he added.

Family Star is directed by Parasuram Petla and co-produced by Dil Raju and Shirish. For this film, Vijay Deverakonda once again collaborates with filmmaker Parasuram Petla, after the success of the smash hit Geetha Govindam The project has sparked intense interest, and fans are hoping for another blockbuster collaboration from the talented duo. Mrunal Thakur will also be seen with Vijay Deverakonda on screen for the first time.
