What the critics say

Reviewers like Joju George and Chemban Vinod's performances, the period detailing, music and cinematography, but keep calling the revenge plot predictable, the script thin and the antagonist weakly written, especially once the second half loses control.

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 6 readings; 2 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.
