What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics agree Emraan Hashmi's brooding comeback and the nostalgic music carry the film, but most call the screenplay predictable and repetitive, with Disha Patani's romance and Shabana Azmi's role underused.

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 24 readings; 14 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.
