What the critics say
Critics agree SRK's dual-role performance, Anirudh's score and the mass-appeal action are the draw, but most fault formulaic, overstuffed writing, a weak villain and a predictable, sagging second half.

Derived by Filmi
45
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 13 readings; 5 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.
