What the critics say

Weak VFX, a dragging first half and thin story test patience, but critics say Prabhas's entry, cameos and an emotional final act redeem it enough for a conditional, so-so-good watch.

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 8 readings; 4 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.
