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 11 readings; 3 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2, computed 7 Sep 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.

Synopsis
Raghavan transforms from a school topper into a “bad boy” to score girls in college, but ends up a heartbroken dropout. He then cons his way into a successful finance career, but the lies keep building and maintaining the facade proves tricky.
