What the critics say
Critics agree Kho Kho is a predictable, formula-driven sports drama, but Rajisha Vijayan and Mamitha Baiju's performances and sensitive direction lift it, despite weak songs and stilted dialogue.

Derived by Filmi
76
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 4 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.
