What the critics say

Critics call Mr. X a technically polished spy thriller with strong visuals and committed performances from Arya, Sarathkumar, and Manju Warrier, but say an overstuffed, predictable plot and flat pacing make it watchable once and forgettable after.

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; 3 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.
