What the critics say

Critics are split on this remake: some call it a gripping, logically handled crime thriller carried by strong work from Sumanth, Nasser and Jayaprakash, while others find the screenplay slack and predictable with underused performances.

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; 2 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.
