What the critics say
Raw, sincere performances (especially newcomer Nirmala Hazra/Hajra) carry this socially themed drama through an uneven, overstretched structure, with critics split on whether its sentimental, simplistic ending feels earned or underwhelming.

Derived by Filmi
64
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; 1 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.
