The Irony of Criticism

We are always taught to avoid criticising anyone or anything, unless, of course, it is our job to criticise. Film critics, specially, love to lash out at silly errors and dialogues in a film. You can't blame them though. After all, it's their job. And I'm sure they love it.
But sometimes criticism can take a U-turn, and backfire on the job-loving critic. Take the example of the film Asoka. It didn't fare well with the critics and most people complained about the movie being ridiculous and silly. I, of course, enjoyed it, because Shahrukh Khan was a part of it.

The reason I mention this is because, with the upcoming awards announcing the nominations for various categories, Asoka is a nominee in almost every category be it music, performances, or the technical aspects. I hope the critics are silenced now, and so are the people who outrageously criticised it, without even watching it!

Hah!
