What the critics say
Critics praise Kabir Khan's grounded, excellent action and call it Salman Khan's best work since Dabangg, but many flag a dragging first hour, weak romance, and uneven writing that keep it from fully catching fire.

Derived by Filmi
42
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 4 readings; 0 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.
