What the critics say
Critics mostly praise Yami Gautam's performance and a hard-hitting, tense finish, though several call the plotting far-fetched and the writing heavy-handed or underexplored in places.

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; 5 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.
