What the critics say

Reviews split sharply: several praise Chiranjeevi's commanding, restrained screen presence and the political drama's sharp dialogue, but many call Salman Khan's cameo overhyped or illogical and the climax clichéd next to the superior Malayalam original Lucifer.

The sudden demise of the celebrated leader PKR leaves the ruling party in a political crisis and shakes up the family. The party has to elect a leader, and more than one player is in contention. Everyone’s intentions are blurred, and loyalties are in question. Brahma is a game changer in this squabble. Who will succeed as the leader and become the CM?

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 8 readings; 6 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.
