What the critics say
Critics largely agree this Andhadhun remake is faithful and well-made, led by a strong Nithiin, but most say it plays the dark comedy too safe and loses the original's macabre humor, with Tamannaah's performance landing as a mixed, sometimes miscast echo of Tabu's.

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 8 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.
