What the critics say

A crowd-pleasing but familiar family drama that critics say rides Sivakarthikeyan's grounded, return-to-form performance and strong support from Archana and Aishwarya Rajesh, though the writing turns repetitive and predictable, with an uncomfortable romantic subplot a few flag.

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.
