Actress Yami Gautam whose recent film ‘Dasvi’ was released on Netflix on April 7 has strongly responded to a review on her performance done by a critic from Anupama Chopra’s Film Companion.
Disrespectful Critic
Yami was dismayed by the review and called it ‘disrespectful’ and ‘heartbreaking’. The film Dasvi, which also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Nimrat Kaur, was released on Netflix and Jio Cinema on April 7. Yami plays a cop in the film, a social comedy that highlights the importance of education.
On Twitter, Yami mentioned that she is open to formative criticism but not when a platform consistently tries to pull her down.
She had also attached a screenshot of the review article which read: “Yami Gautam is no longer the dead girlfriend in Hindi films, but the combative smile is starting to get repetitive.”
Critical review
The actress had voiced her opinion against the critical review on Thursday on Twitter. Her posts read, “Before I say anything else, I’d like to say that I usually take constructive criticism in my stride. But when a certain platform keeps trying to pull you down consistently, I felt it necessary to speak up about it.”

“My recent films & performances include ‘A Thursday’, ‘Bala’, ‘Uri’ etc & yet this is qualified as a ‘review’ of my work! It’s extremely disrespectful!”
“It takes years of hard work for anyone & especially a self-made actor like me to keep proving our mettle again & again with every opportunity. This is what it comes down to from certain reputed portals!”
“It’s heartbreaking since I did look up to @FilmCompanion once upon a time, like many of us, but I don’t seek that since long now! I would request you not to ‘review’ my performance henceforth! I’ll find grace in that & it’ll be less painful.”
