What the critics say
Critics praise Vijay Sethupathi's finely-tuned performance (with Gayathrie) in this father-daughter drama, calling it honest and emotionally resonant, but say the writing turns melodramatic and generic after the interval, sidelining the wife's own struggle.

46
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 v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
