What the critics say
Critics largely agree Saiju Kurup's performance is the film's strongest asset, especially in a late turn and the climax, but call the romance repetitive, overlong and built on forced conflicts, with an underwritten, implausibly oblivious heroine.

Derived by Filmi
32
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 3 readings; 0 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.
