What the critics say
The dual timeline and familiar plot drag on it, but critics say Anushka Shetty's commanding performance, the atmosphere, score and camerawork carry the thriller through its flaws to a late twist that pays off.

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 4 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.
