What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics largely praise Dhurandhar's Akshaye Khanna performance, world-building, music and craft, but just as consistently flag its punishing three-plus-hour runtime, a weak romance track and an overstuffed, sometimes excessive-violence back 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 27 readings; 14 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.
