Paid Reviews?
There's lot of buzz in some websites and blogs that Tollywood producers pay cash to websites for giving favorable reviews in order to promote their films. A three-star or a four-star rating will make a world of difference - this is similar to the stock market operations. In stock market, operators identify some stocks with potential which can be buzzed up to new highs, later on cashing on the higher price levels to start offloading the stakes to realise huge profits. This is fine as long as the fundamentals support stock prices, or else, all hell breaks loose. Ditto, for movies which buzz. If there's no content, no movie can outrun the buzz. A four-star rating on a popular website can sustain only if the movie has some stuff and content. Its a close call for a blogger or a web journalist or a reviewer to choose between instant riches vs. credible success. Sooner or later, you will be found out -whichever way you are leaning towards or against.
