Critics agree Indrans delivers the standout performance in a politically grounded, technically solid thriller, but most say the revenge plot turns predictable and formulaic, with the second half collapsing for several.

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 8 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.
