What the critics say

Aadhi delivers a career-best performance in this predictable sports drama, with critics split on Ilaiyaraaja's score, praising the handling of post-traumatic stress but calling the narration slow and one athlete's arc underdeveloped.

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.
