Concern Regarding Rating Manipulation and False Representation
I hope you're doing well.
I would like to bring to your attention a potential issue with the rating system on your website. The content currently shows approximately 14,000 ratings at 10 stars and about 6,500 ratings at 9 stars, while ratings in other categories are almost negligible.
On the other hand on the bookmyshow it only have about 450 ratings.
Movie Name: Shatak (2026) url: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39328471
This distribution appears highly unusual and may indicate possible manipulation of the rating system, as it does not seem to reflect a natural or balanced pattern of user feedback.
I felt it was important to inform you so you can review the matter and take any appropriate action to ensure the integrity and fairness of the platform.

Hi Amirakhan875814-
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We are aware that there are people who may vote for the sole purpose of trying to inflate/deflate the rating for a movie. We have several safeguards in place to automatically detect and defeat this type of ballot stuffing: even though we count and display all unaltered votes in the rating breakdown, we apply several countermeasures against all attempts to skew the rating for the weighted rating you see displayed on the site. We will review the title in question to ensure that the weighted average is displaying as intended.
For more information on our abuse detection methods, or details about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our Ratings FAQ.
Cheers!
