What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics praise Dhanush and Shivarajkumar's performances, the cinematography and GV Prakash's score, and a promising caste-and-temple premise, but most say the second half drags into repetitive, numbing action that loses the story's emotional depth.

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 13 readings; 3 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.
