What the critics say

Critics call Pelli Choopulu a fresh, well-acted rom-com with strong chemistry between Ritu Varma and Vijay Devarakonda, though most note the pacing drags and turns predictable after the interval.

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; 4 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.
