What the critics say

Critics split hard on Fanaa: several call Aamir Khan and Kajol's performances exceptional and the film one of Yash Raj's finest, while others call the script contrived and predictable, saved mainly by the two leads.

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; 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.
