What the critics say
Critics praise Suriya's triple-role performance and the film's unpredictable, well-crafted time-travel twists, though most agree the romantic subplot drags on too long and Rahman's songs disappoint.

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 7 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.
