Sajid Khan's Himmatwala got very bad reviews from trade analysts

This has almost never happened before. All critics united and in arms over their verdict of Himmatwala. Biggest surprise of them are - Komal Nahta and Taran Adarsh. I knew there was something dicey since neither Sajid Khan nor any member of Himmatwala's cast turned up on Komal Nahta's show on ETC Bollywood before the release of movie. Sajid Khan himself said during the promotion of Housefull 2 that if there is anyone who he respect in this industry, Komal Nahta is definitely one of them. So, there is definitely something there between Sajid Khan or UTV and these renowned trade-analysts, and it doesn't seem to be all good.

Sajid Khan didn't helped himself or his movie either when he kept on talking down on the critical reception of Himmatwala. Sajid Khan is known for not giving a damn about critical reception of his movies, this time also he didn't asked for anything from critics as he openly said he knows his audience and make movies for them only.
Sajid Khan said he doesn't want even half star for Himmatwala

But this is the not the reason why movie has fallen on Saturday. Housefull 2 also got 1-2 stars from most critics and reviewers but went on to do 100-crore business and word of mouth was good too, at least that's what trade analysts said about it. Yes, that's what seems to be the difference here. Taran Adarsh, who has liked every single movie ever released is saying that Himmatwala fails as a film and Komal Nahta who defied all other critics by giving huge thumbs up to 'Rowdy Rathore' is saying that youth will reject this movie. Both of them are quite big on social media sites like twitter and their word is taken quite seriously by not only their followers but also but also by whoever read their reviews. Komal Nahta in particular is like a go-to person on twitter to know about the buzz and word-of-mouth of a movie. So, if these two geniuses are saying that movie is not good, public perception is going to suffer from Himmatwala's point of view.

Is this an attempt by these trade-analysts to legitimize their previous reviews and verdicts when most people used to make fun of their reviews saying they are sold out? Is this movie really the worst possible ever in Bollywood history? We all know that Sajid Khan promised a movie that will be full for hamming and bad jokes but entertaining. If any of us were expecting something like 'Schindler's list' from Himmatwala, then who is at fault!!
