- Fans praised the actor for engaging directly and acknowledging the criticism instead of dismissing it
Dulquer Salmaan is winning praise for the way he responded to criticism of his latest film I’m Game. Rather than dismissing a fan’s detailed analysis, the actor acknowledged that much of the criticism was fair and offered some insight into the challenges that can affect a film after it leaves the hands of its creators.
The exchange came as Dulquer was also discussing his presence on X, where he confirmed that he has not yet handed his account over to an administrator. His direct interaction with fans has now drawn attention, particularly because of the candid way he addressed the criticism surrounding I’m Game.
Dulquer Salmaan admits the criticism was “mostly right”
A fan shared a detailed critique of I’m Game, pointing out several issues they felt had affected the film. Dulquer responded personally and made it clear that he had taken the time to read through the analysis.
“I read through it. I’m not saying you were wrong in your analysis. You were mostly right,” the actor said.
Dulquer added that the team was already aware of many of the issues raised by the fan. He suggested that making a film involves factors beyond the filmmakers’ direct control, meaning that even when a team does what it believes is right, circumstances outside the project can change the final outcome.
“But there are just times when from our end we can do everything right. But outside factors or other circumstances can turn those upside down,” he explained.
Fans appreciate Dulquer’s direct response
The actor’s willingness to engage with criticism has resonated with fans, with many praising him for acknowledging the points raised rather than becoming defensive.
The exchange also offered a glimpse into how personally Dulquer continues to handle his social media presence. When asked whether he had handed his X account to an administrator, he confirmed that he had not.
He later joked that he might consider handing it over to his Wayfarer Films team, adding that they are essentially “one and the same.”
Dulquer’s response to the I’m Game criticism has since become a talking point because of its unusually self-aware tone. Instead of simply defending the film, he acknowledged where the criticism landed while also pointing to the unpredictable circumstances that can shape a movie’s reception.
For an actor with a large online following, that willingness to have a direct conversation with a critic has given fans another reason to appreciate his approach.
