What the critics say

Critics mostly credit Kartik Aaryan's committed lead performance for carrying this tense newsroom thriller, even as some call the script thin and the plot logic hard to buy if you think too much about it.

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; 4 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.
