KRK Faces Backlash for Misleading Review of 'Sitaare Zameen Par' as Film Scores Big at Box Office
Mumbai, India – June 21, 2025:
Self-proclaimed critic Kamaal R. Khan, popularly known as KRK, finds himself at the receiving end of harsh criticism once again — this time for his inaccurate and dismissive review of Aamir Khan’s latest film Sitaare Zameen Par. Despite KRK's early negative comments, the film opened to a strong ₹10.70 crore on Day 1 and continues to earn praise from both audiences and genuine critics alike.
Prior to the film’s release, KRK had confidently predicted that Sitaare Zameen Par would “flop badly” due to its “non-commercial content” and “lack of mass appeal.” He went as far as to call it “a disaster in the making” — a claim now proven entirely baseless.
As positive word-of-mouth began spreading after the first shows, it became increasingly clear that KRK’s so-called “review” was not only premature but also deliberately provocative. Social media users wasted no time in calling out the self-styled critic for misleading his audience and attempting to sabotage a film that carries an emotional and socially relevant message.
“KRK should stop calling himself a film critic. He’s just a loud YouTuber with no real understanding of cinema,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another commented, “Every time a good film releases, KRK tries to drag it down with zero logic. Thankfully, the audience is smarter now.”
This is not the first time KRK has faced backlash for his reckless and often sensationalist takes. In the past, he has been involved in multiple controversies, including legal action from Bollywood celebrities for defamation and harassment.
Industry insiders believe that critics like KRK are slowly losing relevance in the age of informed audiences and social media transparency. “When a film like Sitaare Zameen Par connects with the audience, no baseless review can stop its success,” said a senior trade analyst.
With Sitaare Zameen Par poised to enjoy a strong weekend, KRK’s credibility — what little remained — seems to be in free fall. As the numbers speak louder than noise, it is evident that cinema still belongs to storytellers, not self-proclaimed “experts” chasing clout.
