What the critics say

Critics widely praise Ratsasan as a tightly written, well-edited thriller carried by Vishnu Vishal's strong performance and Ghibran's score, though several say the pacing sags and the killer's reveal and motive feel thin.

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 6 readings; 4 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.
