What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics largely praise Jhund for Bachchan's restrained, commanding performance and Manjule's authentic, unpolemical look at caste and slum life, though many flag its nearly three-hour runtime and loose, overstuffed second half.

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 15 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.
