What the critics say

Critics generally praise Salman Khan's emotional performance and Sunil Grover and Katrina Kaif's supporting turns plus a moving climax, but many call the nearly three-hour film overstuffed, padded and sagging after interval, with a few finding it mostly dull.

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 9 readings; 6 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.
