What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics largely praise Ravi Teja's restrained, career-best performance and the moving father-daughter bond at the core of this socially conscious drama, though many flag a dragged-out, predictable second half and convenient writing.

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 20 readings; 13 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.
