What the critics say
Critics largely praise Akshay Kumar's performance as the strongest element of this Kuwait evacuation drama, though several flag pacing problems, a weak antagonist, and a tendency toward hero-worship that undercuts the larger rescue story.

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.
