What the critics say
Reviews agree Ghost runs on Shivarajkumar's swagger and screen presence, often backed by Arjun Janya's score, but most fault a thin, muddled or incomprehensible screenplay with unanswered plot holes, calling it fan service best enjoyed without overthinking.

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 9 readings; 4 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.
