I’m not saying this. It is Bollywood big shot Ranbir Kapoor who himself is trying to be introspective before his much-anticipated release Tamasha. The reason for the humble submission is that three of his last films, including Roy and Bombay Velvet, came a cropper at the box office. This has made the actor realise that the critics have not been particularly tough on him.

According to the actor, “I deserve the criticism because those (movies) were my choices.” Spot on, Ranbir K! Apart from films, there are other choices that you might introspect about in the time to come.
