What the critics say

Critics praise Prabhas's charisma and the gritty action choreography, especially in a strong first half, but call the screenplay thin and derivative, with a dragging second half and shallow characters that make it best suited to committed action fans.

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; 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.
