What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Reviews split sharply: several praise Nivin Pauly and Aju Varghese's comic chemistry, music and visuals as enough for a fun one-time watch, while others call the romance unconvincing and the script hollow, repetitive and aimless.

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 9 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.
