What the critics say

Teja Marni's political anthology lands well in its tea-seller romance and athlete's story with strong performances, especially Naina Ganguly's segment, though reviewers call other threads predictable and the climax forced or unnecessary.

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; 1 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.
