What the critics say

Critics call Anjaniputra a familiar, fan-service masala remake with charming leads and comic relief that lands for die-hard fans, but a thin, weak villain and rushed, formulaic screenplay keep it from rising above fan-service.

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; 3 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.
