With the release of Ahmed Khan's action-drama, Baaghi 3 on Friday, film reviews have been pouring in on social media from netizens and critics alike. The film has received mixed reviews on Twitter which seems to have struck a chord with Bollywood director Milap Zaveri. The director of some entertaining action potboilers like Satyamev Jayate and Marjaavaan, Milap Zaveri took to his Twitter account and expressed his views on the 'sensibilities' of 'certain critics' who unfairly judge all kinds of films 'by the same yardstick'.
Here's what Zaveri said
Whenever a mass, commercial film hits screens one doesn’t need Nostradamus to predict which critic is going to obviously not like it and who is going to moan n groan about its sensibilities. With due respect to them it’s now becoming predictable 🙏 #Baaghi3CRITICPROOF
— Milap (@zmilap)
Not every mass/commercial film hits the bullseye and in the same way not every 4/5 star reviewed fails at the Box Office. But What is sad is the bullish stubbornness of certain critics who feel it beneath them to enjoy a potboiler. They auto pilot their reviews. Sad and unfair

As a filmgoer if I have the ability to love and appreciate a #Kahaani and a #Baaghi3 why can’t these critics? Every film can’t be judged by the same yardstick. They are so disconnected with what audiences want that I wonder how they get job satisfaction.

The director shared reviews of some of the critics on Twitter to emphasize his point by calling out 'some stuck up pseudos' who do not regard mass entertainers like Baaghi 3 as good cinema.
Zaveri retweeted many of the critics' reviews and seemed to celebrate that the masses have declared the film a hit. In fact, he even congratulated the cast and crew of the Tiger Shroff starrer film through his Twitter handle.
Have a look:
