Overview
- BookMyShow displays “Ratings & Reviews disabled as per court order,” preventing user scores for the film until further notice.
- Producers pursued legal action to deter coordinated fake reviews and bot activity, with industry voices also citing paid positive pushes as a distortion.
- The restriction currently applies only to the ticketing site, following a prior court-mandated ratings freeze for another regional film.
- Public response is divided, with critics calling it a curb on consumer voice and supporters saying it gives the film a fair chance against fake ratings.
- Vijay Deverakonda backed the move while lamenting organised attacks on films, and a report claims agencies Block BIGG and Aiplex assisted in securing the blockage.
