What the critics say
Critics largely agree the newcomer cast, especially Aarushi Bajaj, bring energy and charm, but call the campus romcom predictable, derivative and thin on writing, working best for younger or genre-nostalgic viewers.

20
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 10 readings; 7 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.
