What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics agree Kangana Ranaut's commanding performance carries the film, but many call the writing simplistic, the history reduced to cardboard drama, and the battle scenes and nationalism heavy-handed despite strong scale and craft.

Derived by Filmi
28
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; 6 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.
