Abhishek Bachchan, Yami Gautam, and Nimrat Kaur-starrer Dasvi, directed by Tushar Jalota, finally premiered on Netflix and JioCinema yesterday (April 7). Critics are giving it a mixed response, however, the film is getting an encouraging response from fans.

While celebrities usually take constructive feedback in their stride, sometimes reviewers hit below the belt for no reason. Something similar has happened with Yami Gautam, who slammed a portal for taking digs at her in their Dasvi review. While nothing has been mentioned about her performance, the review states that she is "no longer the dead girlfriend" and her "combative smile" is getting repetitive now. 

This irked the Vicky Donor actress who called the review "extremely disrespectful" in a series of tweets and requested the portal to "not review her performance henceforth".

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.

In the latest turn of events, The Kashmir Files director Vivek Agnihotri has praised Yami for speaking up against the "vicious mafia". In a tweet, he appreciated the actress and stated that her talent needs "no certificates". 

He tweeted, "Bravo, @yamigautam for speaking up. You need no certificates for your talent from this vicious mafia led by @anupamachopra".

For the unversed, Yami had supported Vivek's recent release The Kashmir Files on social media last month. She even urged her followers to watch the film, which depicts the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits.

Coming back to Dasvi, the film revolves around the importance of education in today's times. While Abhishek plays a politician who decides to appear for the Class 10 board exams from jail, Nimrat plays his wife. Yami, on the other hand, is essaying the role of an IPS officer.

Penned by Ritesh Shah, the social comedy is bankrolled by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films in collaboration with Jio Studios.
