Bobby Simha faces backlash for his comments on negative reviews of Indian 2, says 'everyone thinks they are intelligent'

As a lifestyle expert with extensive experience in the entertainment industry, I have seen firsthand how sensitive artists can be when it comes to their work being criticized. Bobby Simha’s recent defense of Indian 2’s negative reviews is not an uncommon reaction from those deeply connected to a project.


As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: I was excitedly anticipating the release of Indian 2, the long-awaited sequel to Kamal Haasan and Shankar’s iconic 1996 film. But alas, on July 12 when it finally hit theaters, the response from both audiences and critics left much to be desired. I was disappointed to read negative reviews pouring in. Bobby Simha, who starred alongside Kamal Haasan in the movie, recently shared his thoughts with Behindwoods about the feedback.

Following his criticism of the Indian 2 reviewers on social media, Simha encountered strong opposition. He argued that so-called intelligent individuals were excessively dissecting the movie instead of simply enjoying it.

Bobby Simha on Indian 2 negative reviews

Bobby Simha responded to criticism of Indian 2 by explaining that some people voice negative opinions to seem intelligent and hide the fact that they actually liked the film. He emphasized the importance of considering the reactions of regular moviegoers, particularly families who appreciated the movie. Simha also suggested waiting for the release of Indian 3 before passing final judgment on Indian 2.

People tend to think they’re smart, but when something truly excellent comes along, they’re afraid of looking unintelligent if they admit it. Instead, they find ways to criticize. Let’s ignore them and focus on our real audience – the families who loved the movie.

Bobby Simha gets trolled by netizens

After Bobby Simha’s interview sparked controversy online, many people criticized the actor on social media. One user implored, “#BobbySimha instead of blaming the audience, acknowledge the film’s shortcomings and strive to provide authentic entertainment. Re-watch your outstanding performances in #Indian2 for inspiration. Remember, audiences are not to be underestimated.”

Another wrote, “This Is Why Despite A National Award, Bobby Simha’s Career Has Taken A Downside.”

Simultaneously, a supporter spoke up and stated, “Morning trackers are misleading. He didn’t blame the audience in his comments. Instead of twisting his words, understand that he is referring to self-proclaimed film experts who often find faults in every film.”

In “Indian 2,” Kamal Haasan returns as the iconic Senapathy, joined by actors Siddharth, Rakul Preet, and Samuthirakani, among others. Production on “Indian 3” is underway and could hit theaters by early 2025; further information is still to be announced.
