Review got declined for no apparent reason

Hi,

I was so excited to write the review for an Indian movie called "Kathal", that's streaming on Netflix, as there were 0 user reviews before me and I also loved the movie. But to my shock, the review got declined and I didn't say anything wrongly or spoilers. So can anyone guess why it was declined? Here was my review:.

"Kathal" is a truly empowering film that transcends cheesy plotlines. It successfully blends humor, sweetness, inspiration, and thought-provoking elements, while maintaining a realistic and heart-touching storyline despite being goofy. The film's brilliant storytelling and well-crafted plot make it a standout.

I must admit, I have developed a crush on Sanya Malhotra after witnessing her exceptional performance in this film. She truly owns her role and showcases her talents, proving herself to be a wonderful actress. It's a delight to see her take on a complete lead role after having been part of several movies. Additionally, the entire cast delivers amazing performances, with Vijay Raaz being the great Vizay Raaz

In a time when many films tend to focus on propaganda and negative themes that provoke anger and hatred, "Kathal" stands out as a refreshing human story. I'm grateful that such a film has been made, reminding us of the power of empathy and compassion. I eagerly anticipate watching more movies by the talented writer and director, Yashowardhan Mishra. His name will certainly be remembered.

Lastly, I couldn't help but love the song "Mathura mein rehna hain tho." Its catchy tune and infectious beat added to the overall enjoyment of the film.A Rare Gem Worthy of a 10 Rating, Keeping it Real!

Hi, Jeevan Patnaik. Welcome back! Your decision to take the initiative to come here to request feedback about a movie review type item submitted by you but declined by the IMDb data editors is appreciated. Thank you. You've also disclosed in your post the full content of the your review as it was when you submitted it, so that is helpful. Right away, I can tell you that sentence "In a time when many films tend to focus on propaganda and negative themes that provoke anger and hatred, 'Kathal' stands out as a refreshing human story", written by you, probably must be reworded in such a way as to neither contradict nor appear to contradict the clause from https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/user-review-guidelines/GABTWSNLDNFLPRRH# which mentions "personal opinions on real life events or subject matter on which a film is based" among the kinds of things that are unwelcome in movie reviews carried for public display on IMDb. The remark "I must admit, I have developed a crush on Sanya Malhotra after witnessing her exceptional performance in this film" is probably allowable as a legitimate expression of opinion, but its inclusion somewhat drifts away from focus on the content of the movie. Anyway, if would prefer not to make any modifications to your review, then please reply here with a mention of the reference number of the submission containing the declined item. (Every submission reference number for review-type data items shares its format with, say, the hypothetical #231231-235959-999904, and for that data type, they all end in "04".)
