Another X user
A social media user questioning BookMyShow over the alleged removal.
“Toxic Book My show reviews disabled after disastrous ratings. How do you feel about this decision? According to me, by doing this the producer himself has proved that they have given up, they do not have confidence in their product. A cowardly decision.”
