Yami Gautam reacts to ‘extremely disrespectful’ review of performance in Dasvi

Yami Gautam has strongly responded to a review of her latest release Dasvi. The movie, which also features Abhishek Bachchan and Nimrat Kaur, was released on Netflix and Jio Cinema on Thursday, April 7. Yami plays a cop in Dasvi, a social comedy that highlights the importance of education.

She was responding to a review by Film Companion. The actress shared a screenshot of part of the review, which read, “Yami Gautam is no longer the dead girlfriend in Hindi films, but the combative smile is starting to get repetitive.”

Responding to the comment in a Twitter thread, Yami wrote, “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!”

She added, “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.”
