Dhyan Sreenivasan responds to criticism: ‘Didn’t expect my review of ‘Aavesham’ to be taken seriously’

Malayalam actor Dhyan Sreenivasan, known for his candid interviews, faced backlash for his playful remarks about Fahadh Faasil’s film ‘Aavesham’. Dhyan commented on an AMMA YouTube channel that the film’s second half felt ‘laggy’, a remark he intended as lighthearted but which drew criticism. He also playfully championed Vineeth Sreenivasan’s ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’ as the Onam winner, admitting to leveraging promotional interviews to boost the film’s visibility. Despite the controversy, trade analyst Kalesh Ramanand confirmed both films were profitable, with ‘Aavesham’ exciting social media and ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’ winning over family audiences.
