What the critics say

Most critics praise a strong, entertaining first half and an improved Yuva Rajkumar, but say the second half's writing turns scattered and the climax stumbles, with one calling it generic and boring.

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 6 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.
