What the critics say

Critics mostly praise the comic chemistry and Yogi Babu's performance, with some calling it a sensitive, fun family entertainer, but others find the screenplay predictable and the plots scattered with a dull 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 4 readings; 1 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.
