What the critics say
Critics call Mithya a genuinely good, formally inventive portrait of a grieving 11-year-old boy, praising Atheesh Shetty's performance, the restrained screenplay and thriller-like climax, with only a minor wish for more depth in a secondary character.

Summary
Mithya (2025, Kannada) has a Filmi Score of 84 from 3 critic reviews, and streams on Prime Video in India.
'Mithya' is a journey alongside Mithun, an eleven-year-old, coming to terms with the sudden loss of his parents. Things turn gloomier as their families squabble over his custody, even as questions over the nature of his Father's death remain unanswered. We walk in step with Mithun/Mithya's tottering feet, as they search for solid ground. Can a new house be home, can friendships be forged again or is it all just a search for something long gone?

Derived by Filmi
80
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 3 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.
