What the critics say

Critics agree Priya Bhavani Shankar anchors this newsroom thriller with a strong, convincing performance and stylish direction, though most find the screenplay thin or predictable, resolving conflicts too conveniently to build real suspense.

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; 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.
