What the critics say

Kartik Aaryan's committed, physically transformed performance anchors this Murlikant Petkar biopic, with critics praising Kabir Khan's direction and the true story's emotional pull, though several call the screenplay predictable, uneven and pacing a weak point.

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 12 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.
