What the critics say
From the same director as 96, critics praise Karthi and Arvind Swamy's performances, the music and cinematography, but several flag a slow, draggy pace and a near-three-hour runtime that could use trimming.

Derived by Filmi
68
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 5 readings; 1 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.
