What the critics say

Critics call Kushi a decent, classy watch carried by Vijay Deverakonda and Samantha's chemistry, strong music and a sensitive love story, though the second half drags with weak conflict, shallow writing and an unconvincing Kashmir/Kerala section.

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 6 readings; 4 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.
