Kochi City Police has registered a case of Cinema review bombing for the first time. The case was registered after the director of 'Rahel makan Kora' Ubaini filed a complaint. It says that there were deliberate attempts to degrade the film on social media.
The Kerala High Court had earlier asked the State Police Chief to take note of and act against vloggers who create motivated and calculated reviews made solely to extort and blackmail the makers. Justice Devan Ramachandran was hearing a petition filed by Mubeen Rauf, the director of the film 'Aromalinte Adyathe Pranayam' who brought to fore the negative impact of the vloggers' "foul play" on the film industry and sought action.
