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 12 readings; 7 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2, computed 7 Sep 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.

Synopsis
An insomniac former cop, Kennedy has been presumed dead for years. Yet, in secret, he continues to serve a corrupt system while seeking redemption. Halfway between thriller and film noir, Kennedy chronicles a violent and bloody vendetta in the dark streets of Mumbai. At the rate of the murders, Kennedy's character reveals itself more and more and sinks into a spiral that seems to have no way out.
