Film critic Nikhat Kazmi passes away


Noted film critic Nikhat Kazmi passed away this morning after losing her battle with cancer. She was 53. Kazmi reviewed films for 'The Times of India' since 1987 and reviewed 'Chaalis Chaurasi', 'Sadda Adda', 'Ghost' and Hollywood film 'Blitz' just last week. Several Bollywood personalities expressed shock and grief over her death. “Was truly shocked to hear about the untimely death of Nikhat Kazmi...the TOI critic of several years...prayers and thoughts with her family. Death is always a reminder of life that most of us do not lead,” filmmaker Karan Johar wrote on micro-blogging site twitter. “The first ever review I read of 'Refugee', my first film, was by Nikhat Kazmi. She always pointed out the road to improvement to me. RIP ma'am,” actor Abhishek Bachchan said. “Tragic news. Extremely sad to know about the demise of Nikhat Kazmi, one of the most persistent film critics. Am sure wherever you are, it'll be a five star rating, RIP. May God give strength to your loved ones,” tweeted actor Akshay Kumar. “
