What the critics say

Critics call Oh Manapenney a faithful yet fresh remake of Pelli Choopulu, with Priya Bhavani Shankar's performance and the leads' chemistry singled out as highlights, though some fault clichéd writing and an underexplored emotional arc.

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.
