What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics largely agree Alia Bhatt's restrained, transforming performance and Meghna Gulzar's non-jingoistic direction carry Raazi, though several call the plot formulaic or implausible and say the screenplay sags and loses tension after the interval.

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 10 readings; 7 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.
