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, computed 7 Sep 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.

The Audience Score appears once three readers’ reviews have been read under the rubric — built from what people write, never from the rating numbers.

Synopsis
Surya is an IT employee leading a happy life till he’s marked as a suspect in a high-profile murder case. As an under-trial prisoner, he doesn’t just have to prove his innocence in court; he also has to face abuse in custody. Advocate Aadhya takes up the case, fresh off law school. How the duo manages to navigate rough waters forms the tale.
