Critics largely praise Bad Girl as a lived-in, empathetic coming-of-age portrait led by standout performances from Sivaraman and Shanthipriya, though some note the second half grows predictable and the themes occasionally feel over-explained.

Derived by Filmi
65
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 5 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.
