A proud father had to deal with the ugly side of social media when his post celebrating his son’s work was inundated with distasteful comments. Chandan Roy shared a tweet urging people to watch Gehraiyaan as his son was among the film’s writers – but a section of the Internet used his post to inform him of how little they thought of the Deepika Padukone-starrer. Gehraiyaan, directed by Shakun Batra, released to mixed reviews last week. While many viewers said they enjoyed the movie, others were more critical and slammed it for poor screenwriting, underdeveloped characters and a convoluted plot, among other things.
Chandan Roy, whose son Sumit Roy co-wrote the film, shared a graphic highlighting some of the more positive reviews Gehraiyaan received. “See the movie. My son Sumit is among the writers,” he wrote.
The backlash was swift and unforgiving. A number of Twitter users used the comments section of Mr Roy’s post to share their opinion of the film.
