What the critics say

Critics widely praise Vijay Deverakonda's breakthrough performance and Sandeep Vanga's bold, unconventional direction as a landmark for Telugu cinema, though several note the drawn-out, meandering second half drags.

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.
