What the critics say

Critics like the cinematography, production values and the Gira Gira song, with Roshan's screen presence and the Telangana Sayudha Poratam backdrop giving the second half some sincerity, but a slow, underwritten first half, weak villain and rushed climax leave mixed reviews overall.

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; 4 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.
