What the critics say
Critics say Afwaah opens with real tension and strong work from Vyas, Siddiqui, Pednekar and Hashmi, but mostly agree the screenplay grows overstuffed, predictable and contrived as it tries to cover too many social issues at once.

Derived by Filmi
50
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 4 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.
