What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics are split: some praise Dhananjay's performance along with the art direction and music, but others find the biopic confusing, text-heavy and structurally scattered, with shoddy late VFX a recurring complaint.

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; 1 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.
