What the critics say

Critics call this NRI family drama disciplined and heartfelt, praising Sreenivasan's direction, the cast's natural performances, cinematography and editing, though they'd have trimmed some songs and a few forced lines.

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 3 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.
