What the critics say

A tense, well acted first half built on Vidya Balan and Arjun Rampal's performances gives way to a predictable, clichéd second half and climax that most critics call a letdown.

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 6 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.
