What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics say this courtroom drama raises a genuinely relevant question about consent, male entitlement and who gets blamed after rejection, anchored by a sincere Mrunal Thakur performance, but most find the writing thin, the courtroom scenes unconvincing and the execution too heavy-handed to match its subject.

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 15 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.
