This form working working perfectly,
class FeedBackForm(forms.Form):
feedBACK = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea, required=True)
But this form didn't work

An IntegerField [Django-doc] is a form field, not a widget. You specify the field as:
class FeedBackForm(forms.Form):
feedBACK = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)
rating = forms.IntegerField()
Note: By default, a form field has required=True [Django-doc], hence you do not need to mark fields as required.
