What the critics say

Critics largely agree Shahid Kapoor's committed performance and the score carry this Mumbai Police remake, but most call it stylish and well-mounted on the outside while hollow, dragging or clichéd underneath, especially in the 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 12 readings; 6 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.
