What the critics say
Critics highlight Bobby Simha's transformation and strong turns from Parvathy and Saranya Ponvannan plus good music and cinematography, but many fault a sagging second half, uneven screenplay and weaker chemistry between the leads than the original.

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 3 readings; 2 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.
