This is one trend imported from Bollywood that Tollywood could do without. We are talking about the SMS spoiler trends in Bollywood. Soon after the release of Avik Mukhopadhyay���������s Ekti Taraar Khonje, several SMSes are doing the rounds. Not only do they reveal the plot of the film, the messages conclude with the line: ���������u wil nt mis anythng if u mis d film...���������SMSes killing the twist-in-the-tale with forwards containing the plot of the film have often done the rounds ahead of the release of Kurbaan, New York, My Name Is Khan and even, 3 Idiots.
But hardly have any of these alerts viciously insisted that one should avoid watching a movie. As a matter of fact, in most cases in Bollywood, there have a debate over whether such alerts have been buzz-creators rather than being buzz-killers.
Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, the producer of ETK, is disturbed with the circulation of such spoiler alerts. Says the director, ���������One might like or dislike a movie. I don���������t know who is behind this but I certainly know that it���������s unfair to try and sabotage a film this way. It���������s distasteful and no film should be subjected to this. As part of the industry, I���������d certainly not want Tollywood to encourage this trend.���������
