What the critics say

Critics agree Mahesh Babu's charm and comic timing, backed by the Brahmanandam and MS Narayana comedy track, carry Dookudu, but they call the screenplay patchy, with an erratic first half, illogical stretches and a weak romance.

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 3 readings; 2 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.
