What the critics say
Critics agree Shershaah's Kargil battle sequences are well-shot and Sidharth Malhotra's performance is a career high, but most call the film dutiful and clichéd, dragged down by a flat, melodramatic romance subplot and a script too scared to dig beneath the surface.

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; 6 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.
