What the critics say
Critics largely agree the Prithviraj-Basil Joseph chemistry carries this wedding comedy with a genuinely funny first half, but most say it sags into predictable, repetitive territory once the central conflict surfaces, with underwritten female characters a recurring complaint.

Derived by Filmi
45
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; 3 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.
