What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Most critics say the witch-meets-Ramayana premise and Yami Gautam's performance carry a strong first half, but the comedy turns forced and the mythological second half collapses into confused, preachy, VFX-heavy padding.

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 20 readings; 11 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.
