What the critics say
Critics largely praise Amitabh Bachchan's career-best, prosthetic-heavy performance opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in this Lucknow-set satire on greed, though many find the slow, meandering pace and thin script drag the film down.

Derived by Filmi
27
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; 5 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.
