Noticed wrong ratings for a potential movie ( spam bully mass fake reviews ratings )

Hi IMDB Team, 

I am from India and have been noticing from long time the IMDb platform is being misused. Kangana Ranuat is Brilliant Actress of India, Have won 4 Back to back national Awards for best actress for Movies like Panga*, Manikarnika*, Queen*,Tanu Weds Manu Returns*. She is a brave women and known for expressing her opinion strongly on media, politics, women rights, women empowerment, nation. 

Her Movies are getting bad ratings due to targeted bulk 1 ratings by anti social bully who disagree with her ideas or opinions. It's a major drawback because if a person believes in IMDb so he will surely will not see movies having less ratings. But this would impact Kangana Ranauat as even critics appreciated her movies and she received back to back national Awards that is really commendable, she is self made artist. Targeted harassment and bullying and  making ratings low is very unprofessional.

Please make some changes and ensure only verified users are rating and avoid spam reviews, always change is required if you want to sustain in this era since I am consistent user of IMDb so want this platform to be fair no spam and bullies may affect the fair movies who deserves true recognition.

Hi Akash_Dubey -

I reviewed several of the titles you referenced above -  (2015), (2019), &  (2020), but I did not observe obvious behavior of voting abuse/sabotage.

If there are other titles you would like our staff to review, please post the IMDb title URLs here and our staff can take a look.

Cheers!

@Michelle​ thanks for response appreciate your time. These movies i mentioned are just examples as they are national award winning movies by actress okay please check for below ratings for movie Thalaivii and Dhaakad 

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt10152736/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt10598156/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt

I know ratings are subjected to personal opinions by public but some are targetting specially IMDb for showcasing down the movie.

Hi @Akash_Dubey​ -

My sincere apologies for the delayed reply. I have reviewed these titles and filed a ticket for the appropriate team to investigate the ratings.

Thanks again!

@Michelle​ If you need a more "local" exemple, it is highly unlikely that for 25% of Disney's "strange world" viewers (~7600 ratings), this movie was the worst they have seen in their life (which is the meaning of a 1). The spam of 1 or 10 ratings are getting more and more common, and are throwing off the average rating.   I feel like those used to be more filtered/weighted. As of today, it's getting hard to trust the Imdb rating on a popular movie.
