What the critics say
Critics praise Dhanush's performances and direction, AR Rahman's score and sharp cinematography in this family-revenge thriller, but most call the gangster-revenge plot familiar and the second half formulaic, landing on it as a decent, average watch.

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; 6 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.
