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, computed 7 Sep 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.

Synopsis
Set in the politically turbulent late 1950s, Krishnan Pillai, a playful ruffian chosen by the Church to lead a defensive force, the Christopher Sena. His mission to resist the Communist government takes a detour when he experiences an ideological awakening and falls in love with a comrade, sparking an epic tale of rebellion against feudal power and oppression.
