What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics praise Kangana Ranaut's lived-in performance and strong supporting cast in this mother-reclaims-her-dream sports drama, though most flag a predictable, repetitive second half that loses some of the first half's warmth.

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 14 readings; 9 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.
