Salman Khan Takes a Dig on Critics: These People Have Never Made a Film Themselves
In a recent interview, Salman Khan was asked to comment on the fact that even his commercially viable films are not able to please the critics. The actor took a jibe at critics and advised them to be more responsible. He asked critics not make fun of the movies.
One more quote by Salman Khan that is all set to go down in history. In a recent interview with a film-magazine, he said that critics who criticise his films have never made one themselves. The interviewer had asked Salman that despite his films being commercially viable, they are critically panned. The actor told Filmfare, "It doesn’t matter what’s being said about my films. Some will accord it 5 stars. Some will give it minus ratings. These people have never made a film themselves. And those who have, well, unki film itni buri tarike se piti hai."

Salman further said that critics can write what they want but asked them to not be irresponsible. "Don’t make fun of someone’s work," he said, adding, "Let the audience decide. Let the fans go to the theatres at least. Even if 15 per cent of the audience relies on their reviews, the business gets affected by that much percentage. Maine Pyaar Kiya was made in one crore and eleven lakhs. It was a big-budget film at that point. Today the smallest film is made in a budget of at least 25 to 30 crores. You need to recover that," The actor was last seen in Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat with Katrina Kaif. The movie was a box office wonder.

In the recent past, Salman is not the only actor to have called out the critics. Shahid Kapoor's latest release, Kabir Singh, received reviews that were polarised. “If somebody feels that Kabir should have suffered more then aap picture bana lo (you make the movie yourself). Stop reviewing and start making films then we’d get an opportunity to review your films," he said in an interview. Well, seems like this critics VS Bollywood debate has only begun.
