What the critics say
Praised performances, especially Sharan, and convincingly staged kho-kho sequences carry this sports drama, though some call it predictable and tonally uneven, pointing to forced drama and a juvenile romance track as missteps, with a near three-hour runtime that drags.

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; 1 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.
