What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics across the board call Sikandar lazy, incoherent and exhausting, with flat writing and a disengaged Salman Khan, salvaged only occasionally by his star presence, action scenes or a stronger post-interval stretch.

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 21 readings; 9 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.
