However, Karan expressed displeasure with harsh language being used in the reviews. Noting a critic writing, ‘I want to kick this film’, Johar said, “When you write like that, I have a problem with that. The use of such language reflects badly on the person and not on the film.” The filmmaker continued, “I find it disturbing because intellectual cinema lovers should have a sensitive and compassionate side. Nobody wants to be kicked because kicking is violence. In the real world, words can be equally violent.”
