What the critics say
Critics mostly praise Anupam Kher's cameo, the mythology-adventure premise, and strong production values, though several flag a scattered or slack first half, a weak villain, and VFX that could be better, landing on a decent family watch rather than a must-see.

Derived by Filmi
30
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 9 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.
