Doesn’t care for reviews

Critics may not have been kind to but director Rohit Shetty is happy that the movie, his costliest so far, is doing well.

The 44-year-old filmmaker says: “Golmaal has got the highest opening and minted the fastest Rs100 crore (Dh56.4 million) of this year. We were sure enough it will work but to what extent we did not know. We did not think we would get such an overwhelming response..”

Shetty says he is never demotivated by reviews and focuses on audience reaction. “This is my 10th film and it has been 27 years as a director. I know it [negative reviews] happens. [But] I don’t read reviews. From the audience reaction and box office collections, you come to know how much the film has been loved.
