The user shared the screengrab and wrote alongside, “The @IMDb page of #TheKashmirFiles says: “Our rating mechanism has detected unusual voting activity on this title. To preserve the reliability of our rating system, an alternate weighting calculation has been applied”. They have themselves dipped the ratings.”
And his next Tweet read, “The actual mean is 9.6 (Bottom of the same page). Somebody has surely influenced the ratings because Jai Bhim, a propaganda movie is still at 9.4.”Who forced them to dip the ratings of #TheKashmirFiles ? What’s unusual voting activity? Isn’t possible that every Indian rates 10*?” Re-tweeting the same, director Vivek Agnihotri wrote, “This is unusual and unethical.”
