What the critics say
Critics praise Arjun Das's performance and Hesham Abdul Wahab's music in a tender, well-acted first half, but most agree the flashback-heavy second half turns thin and underwritten, dragging momentum before an uneven ending.

Summary
Once More (2026, Tamil) has a Filmi Score of 61 from 8 critic reviews.
Raghu, a man caught up with a deep hold of grief comes across Anjali, who is spinning everything in her capacity to win him over. The love you gave away always comes back they say. In one way or other. Sometimes from a different human. This is a story of love coming back into the life of someone who doesn’t want to take it. A tale of second chances.. happy healing and bitter sweet closures.

Derived by Filmi
35
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 8 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.
