What the critics say
Critics largely agree Rekhachithram is an engaging, well-crafted mystery built on a fresh alternate-history twist with strong performances from Asif Ali and the ensemble, though several note it leans more drama than thriller with a predictable climax and some uneven writing.

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.
