What the critics say
Critics admire Paruthiveeran's performances, especially Karthi and Priyamani, and its atmosphere and craft, but the story and its bloody, shock-heavy final stretch split opinion, from a must-see to its weakest part.

Derived by Filmi
52
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 3 readings; 0 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.
