What the critics say

Manoj Bajpayee's performance is the standout, with critics calling it career-best and the courtroom writing sharp, though several flag an overpowering score and say the film leans so hard on the lawyer that the victim's family and survivor's story get shortchanged.

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.
