What the critics say
Praised for Guru Somasundaram and Sanchana Natarajan's performances and its empathetic, non-judgmental take on alcoholism, though critics agree the second half turns repetitive and the ending slips into preachiness.

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; 1 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.
