What the critics say

Critics agree Abhishek Bachchan delivers a career-best, deeply felt performance in this father-daughter drama, though many flag slow pacing, a thin or confusing script, and an emotional distance that keeps it from fully landing.

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 7 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.
