What the critics say
Critics agree Fahadh Faasil's performance and the film's forest atmosphere and cinematography are the draw, but they split on the rest, from a tight well-written screenplay to a diffuse, dragging story that doesn't fully come together.

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 3 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.
