What the critics say

Critics praise the cast, especially Yashas Surya, Darshan's crowd-pulling cameo and the music and cinematography, but most agree the first half outpaces a weak, predictable second half with clichéd, even gratuitous plot turns.

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; 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.
