The singer’s post received mixed reactions from her followers. While some reacted in a humorous manner, others advised her to find out more about the film before going for it.

Sona is not the first Indian celebrity to dislike the film. Earlier, actor Juhi Parmar had written a long post, criticizing the film and calling it PG 13 film. The actor shared that she stormed out of the theatre with her daughter within 15 minutes of the film. She started the long post with, “Dear Barbie, I start with owning up to my mistake, I took my 10 year old daughter Samairra to watch your film without researching the fact that it was a “PG-13″ movie. 10 minutes into the movie, inappropriate language, sexual connotations and I was anxiously running out of the theater wondering what had I just exposed my child to. She had been waiting to watch your film and here I was just shocked, disappointed and heartbroken with what I had just exposed her to.”

The actor also added that there were more parents unhappy with the film. The actor shared that she decided to walk out of the film because she didn’t want to further watch anything, which could have been inappropriate for her daughter.

Meanwhile, Barbie is enjoying a decent run at the Indian box office.

Internationally, Barbie clocked $155 million opening.
