Getting candid on The Other Side podcast, Film Critics Guild chairperson Anupama Chopra reveals the raw realities of reviewing Indian cinema today from owning personal "blind spots," like horror and violence, while judging craft fairly, to facing death threats and child-targeted abuse for honest opinions. Chopra shares anecdotes of gracious stars like Hrithik Roshan embracing critique, contrasts '80s open sets with today's infinitely guarded actors amid narrative control, and champions critics' role in spotlighting indie gems, Northeast films, shorts, and pan-India stories via Critics Choice Awards.
