What the critics say

Critics largely praise this satire on faith and temple commercialisation for its clever premise, hypnotic cinematography and score, though several say the second half drags, padding and repeating its central metaphor until it overstays its welcome.

Derived by Filmi

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 7 readings; 5 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.
