The Filmi Score

A 0–100 critic score built by reading every review we can find — one Filmi reading per review, whatever the critic’s own scale. Where they printed a number it stays first on its row, beside ours, every time. Never fewer than three reviews behind a score; provisional until five.

Age Fit

The CBFC certificate, the board’s own cut list and the BBFC’s notes, turned into content flags with a citation each. We haven’t watched the films. A blank flag means nobody documented it — not that it’s clean.

Audience rating

Coming with filmi.ai accounts. We won’t borrow another site’s number to fill the gap.
