What the critics say

Critics agree Taapsee Pannu's committed, non-mimicking performance anchors this Mithali Raj biopic, but most call it overlong and formulaic, with underwritten supporting characters, slowing songs, and a rushed, unconvincing climax cricket sequence.

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 7 readings; 7 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.
