What the critics say

Critics single out a strong, committed Raj B Shetty performance and a twisty, tightly edited screenplay with an effective villain, but many flag a slow or uneven start, loud score, thin secondary characters and plot holes, leaving it a decent one-time watch rather than a must-see.

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 8 readings; 2 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.
