What the critics say

Ravi Teja's committed, comeback-level turn as a blind hero carries this mass masala comedy, but critics agree the story is thin and clichéd, with a dragged, repetitive second half, and one flags a tone-deaf domestic-abuse subplot.

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; 3 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.
