What the critics say

Most critics call Ittefaq a tight, gripping whodunit anchored by a scene-stealing Akshaye Khanna, though one review finds it slow and predictable with plot holes, and others flag pseudo-scientific devices and a reveal that doesn't quite track.

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 4 readings; 3 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.
