What the critics say
Critics largely praise Rajkummar Rao's performance and the courtroom drama's intense, well-written exchanges on the Kasab trial, but most say Nikam's family subplots crowd the story and drag the second half.

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.
