What the critics say
Most critics praise the lavish visuals and Ranveer Singh's commanding Khilji, with Deepika Padukone and the production design singled out too, though several call it overlong and uneasy with its regressive sati-glorifying climax.

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 9 readings; 6 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.
