What the critics say
The reviews agree Diljit Dosanjh is charming but the detective mystery itself is derivative, flatly written and predictable, with twists that don't land despite decent supporting performances.

Derived by Filmi
10
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.
