Tamil Film Active Producers Association said certain individuals, under the guise of film reviews, defame directors, actors, and producers, causing damage to their reputations.
The Madras High Court has declined to grant an interim order to restrain individuals or social media channels from reviewing films within three days of their theatrical release.
Justice S. Sounthar, while hearing the petition filed by the Tamil Film Active Producers Association (TFAPA), questioned the feasibility of such a restriction, stating, "Reviewers are entitled to review any film; it is their opinion."
Advocate Vijayan Subramanian, representing TFAPA, argued that certain individuals, under the guise of film reviews, defame directors, actors, and producers, causing damage to their reputations.
