What the critics say
Critics agree the visuals and mid-film stretch recapture Bhat's style, but call it uneven overall, with some finding it a repetitive rehash undone by a preachy, overloaded climax.

Derived by Filmi
30
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 4 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.
