What the critics say

Critics agree Ananya Panday's performance and the sharp social media satire make Ctrl a well-shot, pacy watch, but most feel the direction and screenplay lose grip after the big reveal, leaving its warnings about digital dependence familiar rather than fresh.

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 6 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.
