What the critics say
Critics largely praise Ammu as a chilling, well-acted portrait of domestic abuse anchored by Aishwarya Lekshmi, though several flag an abrupt turn into an implausible, wish-fulfilment revenge plot in the back half.

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; 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.
