What the critics say

Critics call Halal Love Story a funny, well-acted feel-good film that handles religious and family tension with humour rather than melodrama, led by a standout Grace Antony, though one review found the second half's tone turns heavier and less organic.

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 3 readings; 0 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.
