What the critics say

Critics mostly praise Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi's performances and AR Rahman's music, but several call the writing and direction rushed, thin or ordinary, watched largely as his final, deeply emotional farewell.

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.
