Overview
- BookMyShow displays a notice on the film’s page stating “Ratings & Reviews disabled as per court order.”
- The restriction takes effect ahead of the January 12 theatrical release of the Anil Ravipudi–directed film.
- Producers argued that non-ticketed users and alleged bot networks were posting malicious reviews that could hurt box-office performance.
- Vijay Deverakonda publicly endorsed the decision, citing his own past experience with organised online attacks and calling it a protective step for filmmakers’ work.
- A similar court-directed suspension of reviews was implemented on BookMyShow for the Kannada film The Devil in December 2025, indicating an emerging pattern.
