What the critics say

Critics largely call Shah Rukh Khan's dual performance a triumph or masterclass driving Fan, though several flag an overlong chase-heavy second half and a script some find thin or logically shaky.

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 5 readings; 2 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.
