What the critics say
Rishab Shetty's comic timing and several gags land well, and the music and cinematography are praised, but critics flag a thin, predictable hero arc and draggy, unfocused second-half pacing.

Derived by Filmi
48
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; 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.
