What the critics say

Critics mostly call this horror comedy an engaging, stereotype-free comeback for Prabhu Deva with strong work from Tamannaah, though some flag regressive gender politics and a trilingual setting that feels non-native.

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 8 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.
