Recently people who are watching telugu movies and who want to know how the movies are doing at the boxoffice are referring to the information provided at Idlebrain.com. The mail section people always like to see is Jeevi's review and they generally measure his rating out of 5 as a hit or flop movie. But very recently Jeevi is not doing his job right.
Instead of giving an unbiased view and review he started experimenting with the review system. He gives a higher review for a not a good movie to see whether it makes any difference in at the box office and similarly he is giving ridiculously low score for OK movies.
His reviews are not straight forward and to the point he is trying to play games by trying to please every one. For example in his review for Gudumba Shankar he praized the actor for his performance he even said it was his best performance but finally said it is not a very good movie as it has few defects.
Again he says that all the actors fans must watch the movie as he has done an incredible performance. This dual stand is what I did not like. I think he should be more straight forward instead of twisting things. Most of movie successes and the number of places a movie is played in the US is decided on his review now and during this time if he is playing games with his numbers with out actually giving unbiased information then I think it is soon that he will have to face problem.
Due to copyright issues he has stopped jukebox on his website and soon he will be forced to stop information regarding movie schedules as confidential sources reveal that some distributors are angry with his review system as it is causing them huge loss so they are withdrawing their advertisement material from his website.
