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; 0 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
In the famine-stricken village of Kothalavadi, greed sparks chaos as a ruthless scrap dealer manipulates desperate villagers into illegal sand mining, using them as pawns in his quest for power. When tragedy strikes and blood is spilt, an iron-willed officer, a betrayed enforcer, and a cunning politician clash for control. As tensions rise, the villagers must choose: break free or be consumed by their greed.
