What the critics say

Critics mostly enjoy Arjun and Alia's chemistry and the cross-cultural family humor, with Roy's support and the cinematography praised too, though several call the screenplay repetitive, the in-law conflict overstretched and the ending too tidy.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 6 readings; 4 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
