Here is very sad news for cine lovers especially those who follow the Film reviews. India's noted film critic Nikhat Kazmi died early Friday morning after battling cancer. She was 53. Nikhat is survived by her son Rehaan, 26. Kazmi had been writing for The Times of India for over two decades, and her reviews of "Sadda Adda", "Chaalis Chaurasi", "Ghost" and Hollywood film "Blitz" had appeared just last week.Her illness did not keep her away from catching up on movies -- she used to come in a wheelchair to watch them, and continued to give her feedback to her readers.


The Hindi film industry was in mourning for the writer, whose reviews made a difference to many lives. Actors like Abhishek Bachchan and Neil Nitin Mukesh took to Twitter to share how her feedback always helped them fall in place.

Here's what some of the actors, filmmakers and critics had to say:
