Yami Gautam has strongly reacted to a scathing review of her latest release Dasvi. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Nimrat Kaur and is directed by Tushar Jalota. The film released on Netflix and Jio cinema on Thursday, April 7 and shows Yami as a strict cop. Taking to her Twitter account, Yami called out a review that took a personal dig at her performance and called it ‘extremely disrespectful’.
Taking to her Twitter, Yami noted that she has worked extremely hard as a self-made actor reach this position and requested the publication to not review her again as they have tried to pull her down consistently. She was reacting to a review by Film Companion and shared a screenshot of it which read, “Yami Gautam is no longer the dead girlfriend in Hindi films, but the combative smile is starting to get repetitive."
My recent films & performances include 'A Thursday', 'Bala', 'Uri' etc & yet this is qualified as a 'review' of my work! It's extremely disrespectful!

Reacting to the comment in a Twitter thread, Yami further wrote, “Before I say anything else, I’d like to say that I usually take constructive criticism in my stride. But when a certain platform keeps trying to pull you down consistently, I felt it necessary to speak up about it. My recent films & performances include A Thursday, Bala, Uri etc. & yet this is qualified as a 'review' of my work! It's extremely disrespectful!"
It's heartbreaking since I did look up to @FilmCompanion once upon a time, like many of us, but I don't seek that since long now! I would request you not to 'review' my performance henceforth ! I'll find grace in that & it'll be less painful.

She added, "It takes years of hard work for anyone & especially a self-made actor like me to keep proving our mettle again & again with every opportunity. This is what it comes down to from certain reputed portals! It's heartbreaking since I did look up to @FilmCompanion once upon a time, like many of us, but I don't seek that since long now! I would request you not to 'review' my performance henceforth ! I'll find grace in that & it'll be less painful."
Yami has received favourable reviews for her performance in Dasvi. PeepingMoon.com gave 3.5 Moons out of 5 to the film and wrote about Yami’s performance, “Yami, despite not getting the best character, owns her scenes. The sherni of Dasvi, she roars like nobody else. Holding her own ground, Yami has added her flavour to an unexplored character of Jyoti Deswal.”
