What the critics say
Critics agree Jayasurya gives a dignified, career-best performance as a trans woman handled with unusual restraint for Malayalam cinema, though some flag melodrama, an intrusive score and an oddly abrupt ending.

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 4 readings; 2 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.
