What the critics say

Critics call it a well crafted, entertaining mass entertainer led by a strong Darshan performance with praised action and cinematography, though some flag a weak soundtrack and loose second half editing.

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 3 readings; 1 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.
