Gulabo Sitabo, which had a direct-to-web release on Amazon Prime Video, has received a lot of praise from critics and fans alike, yet, Kamaal R Khan, has a different opinion
Shoojit
Sircar's
recent
film
Gulabo
Sitabo,
which
had
a
direct-to-web
release
on
Amazon
Prime
Video,
has
received
a
lot
of
praise
from
critics
and
fans
alike.
Fans
have
not
only
praised
the
leading
actors
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Ayushmann
Khurrana,
but
also
the
screenplay.
Yet,
Kamaal
R
Khan,
a
self-proclaimed
film
critic
had
something
different
to
say
about
the
film.
Hours
after
the
release,
Kamaal
R
Khan
took
to
his
Twitter
account
and
wrote
that
the
film
was
very
confusing
and
a
waste
of
his
time.
The
tweet
read,
"After
watching
#GulaboSitabo
I
just
want
to
ask
director
Sahab
@ShoojitSircar
Ki
Sir
Ji
Kaya
Karna
Chah
Rahe
Thai
Aap!
Exactly
Mansha
Kaya
Thi?
Dekhne
Walon
Ki
Rooh
Nikalna
Chahte
Thai
Kaya
sir!
Anyway
thank
you
so
much
for
not
releasing
it
in
the
theatres".
However,
filmmaker
Shoojit
Sircar
had
an
epic
reply
for
KRK.
Instead
of
engaging
in
a
quarrel,
Sircar
took
the
high
road
and
said,
"Sir
aap
mere
har
film
ko
itna
pyaar
dete
hain
ki
mai
aapka
text
padke
gad
gad
ho
jata
hoon.
Thank
you
for
watching.
agle
film
mei
fir

yahin
par."
(Sir,
you
give
immense
love
to
all
my
movies
that
I
feel
extremely
humbled
to
read
your
texts
I'll
meet
you
again
here
after
the
release
of
my
next
movie).

Many
fans
praised
the
director
for
his
savage
reply,
others
asked
him
not
to
dignify
KRK's
presence.
One
User
wrote,
"Shoojit
Sircar
please
do
not
dignify
him
by
acknowledging
his
presence" while
another
tweeted,
"Haha
clean
bowled..What
a
befitting
reply!"
Gulabo
Sitabo
written
by
Juhi
Chaturvedi,
was
also
making
the
headlines
for
plagiarism.
Juhi
revealed
in
an
interview,
"My
conscience
is
clear,
and
so
are
the
facts
in
this
matter.
Gulabo
Sitabo
is
my
original
work
and
I
am
proud
of
it.
I
shared
the
idea
with
the
director
(Shoojit
Sircar)
and
lead
actor
(Amitabh
Bachchan)
of
the
film
in
early
2017.
I
subsequently
registered
the
concept
note
for
the
film
in
May
2018."
The
film
set
it
Lucknow,
follows
two
slimy
scheming
foxes-
a
landlord
and
tenant
in
a
game
of
upmanship.
Earlier,
the
film
was
set
to
release
in
theatres
around
April,
but
the
makers
opted
for
an
OTT
release
due
to
the
ongoing
pandemic.
Some
other
films
opting
for
OTT
release
are
Vidya
Balan's
Shakuntala
Devi,
Janhvi
Kapoor's
Gunjan
Saxena:
The
Kargil
Girl
and
Akshay
Kumar's
Laxmmi
Bomb.
