What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics agree Kangana Ranaut's performance is the film's standout, often career-best, but most say the heist plot and foreign-cast scenes feel improbable or hammy, with the back half dragging or losing direction.

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 12 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.
