What the critics say
Reviews largely agree Rajkummar Rao anchors Chhalaang with a strong, soulful performance in an authentic Haryanvi setting, but the sports-drama plot is widely called predictable and formulaic, with several critics finding the second half rushed or contrived despite sharp dialogue and supporting turns.

Chhalaang humorously addresses the value of Sports Education in the school curriculum. It follows a hilarious, yet an inspirational journey of a typical PT Master from a semi government-funded school in Northern India, Montu, for whom it’s just a job and is forced to do what he has never done - Teach.

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 7 readings; 5 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.
