The critic questioned Agnihotri’s claim that Bollywood is struggling, citing recent blockbusters like Pathaan, Jawan, and Animal. Vivek accused the critic of being biased and influenced by external forces.

Agnihotri also pointed out inconsistencies in the critic’s reviews, highlighting a positive rating for Nadaaniyaan, a film that received mixed reactions.
