Mumbai, Nov 17
Director Gauri Shinde says she is open to
critisim, but critics need to review a film professionally
and not attack people on a personal level.
"I am open to criticism, but when I
see critics going berserk, it's weird. What I don't like is
people get personal. You need to criticise a film in a very
professional way," Gauri Shinde told IANS.
"Stick to the film and say the points
that you didn't like, but when they get personal and make
fun of the individuals behind the film, that's not nice and
it's quite hurtful," Shinde added.
The ad filmmaker turned director kicked off
her career in Bollywood in 2012 with the critically acclaimed
film "English Vinglish". She is now busy promoting
her second film "Dear Zindagi".
Shinde also says she was highly disappointed
when veteran actress Sridevi didn't get an award for her role
in "English Vinglish".
"It disappointed me hugely. I actually
cried after my first award because Sri (Sridevi) didn't get
an award so, I also didn't want to receive an award.
"For me, she was such a part of me and
the film that I had not expected an award for myself. I thought
she is the one who will get. It was heartbreaking for me,"
the 42- year-old said.
"Dear Zindagi" is a slice-of-life
film with actress Alia Bhatt playing the protagonist - an
aspiring filmmaker, who is on the lookout for a lot of unanswered
questions.
The film also features Shah Rukh Khan, Ali
Zafar, Aditya Roy Kapur, Kunal Kapoor and Angad Bedi.
