What the critics say

Critics agree John Abraham delivers a career-best, PTSD-tinged performance that makes the courtroom scenes genuinely gripping, though most also flag a padded, overdramatised first half, a weak marital subplot and an ill-fitting item song.

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; 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.
