What the critics say
Kamal Haasan's ten performances (especially the comic cop and temple priest) and the tsunami effects impress critics, but most call the sci-fi conspiracy plot kitsch, predictable and confusingly scripted, with a weak second half.

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 4 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.
