Film-critics should not mock at filmmakers and rather help and guide them with their reviews, feels director-producer Subhash Ghai, who inaugurated the first AGM of the Film Critics Circle of India (FCCI) at the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
	"We look up to film-critics. The opinion of critics has a great impact on filmmakers. But most of them actually mock at our work rather than giving a helpful insight to what we have done correct or what we have not. That way both the parties can have a healthy relationship," Ghai said.
	"You have the responsibility to look into the growth of civilization and of the next generation," he added.
