What the critics say
Critics call this 1990s-set rustic thriller a hooking suspense mystery with strong cinematography, Ajaneesh Loknath's score and a bold Payal Rajput, though most flag an overloaded, slow first half and a dragging flashback.

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 6 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.
