What the critics say
Critics praise Kuruthi as a tense, well-crafted home-invasion thriller with standout performances (especially Prithviraj, Roshan Mathew, Mamukkoya and Shrinda) and sharp direction and camerawork, though some call its politics around religious extremism preachy or regressive.

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; 1 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.
