Fake reviews to inflate rating

For the Malayalam movie Checkmate (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28213147/), Director and the production crew are adding fake reviews with high ratings to inflate the rating of the movie. You can see that the movie was getting low rating after its OTT release. Then all of a sudden all these 10 star reviews started to pop up inflating the rating. It looks like they are also voting down any critical or low rating reviews. Edit: Also please look at the profiles which are creating this positive reviews - most of them are created in October 2025 and their only review is for this movie.

Hi NiranjanaReviews- 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: https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/track-movies-tv/ratings-faq/G67Y87TFYYP6TWAV Cheers!
