What the critics say
Pranav Mohanlal's parkour-driven debut and Jeethu Joseph's ensemble writing win over most critics as a well-built, entertaining action launch, though a dragging pace, weak emotional scenes and one reviewer's concern over victim-blaming hold it back.

Derived by Filmi
55
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; 3 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.
