    London Dreams – Critique Sabotage
    London Dreams’ is a decent entertainer also bringing about an interesting play of emotions. It is fun and intriguing. Given the plot with so much potential, it could have been a much better film but whatever is made, is not bad either. The film is made with a lot of heart and a lot of thought too.

    Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do
    iView Author: Josyula Srikant (Los Angeles, USA) Email: jsrikant [at] gmail.com Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do- (B. Franklin) Movie critics should not be a paid profession. How can one get paid for passing a judgment on someone? It just doesn’t make sense. Someone makes a movie. He puts a lot of work in to it.
