Critics call Maanagaram a tightly written, well-performed hyperlink thriller with sharp direction and a standout comic turn from Munishkanth, though most single out its romantic subplot and a loose ending as the weak link.

Derived by Filmi
65
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 7 readings; 3 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.
