What the critics say

The supernatural premise and Dulquer Salmaan's performance earn praise, backed by Jakes Bejoy's score, but critics say the predictable, overlong second half and reliance on violence against women undercut it.

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 11 readings; 4 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.
