What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics mostly agree the Sunny Deol-Akshaye Khanna courtroom face-off is the film's main draw, but say the twists feel manufactured and the writing too thin and predictable to build real emotional stakes.

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 19 readings; 12 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.
