What the critics say
Critics call this an unhurried, magical-realist drama anchored by one of Bajpayee's finest, most restrained performances, with praise for the visuals and supporting cast, though some flag an underdeveloped subplot and the folk-tale device occasionally sitting uneasily against the film's realism.

Derived by Filmi
78
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.
