Critics agree Mohanlal gives another towering, restrained performance, but many call this the franchise's weakest and slowest entry, split over whether the twist-heavy climax lands or feels rushed and predictable.

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 33 readings; 13 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.
