What the critics say

Critics consistently praise Saba Azad's performance and the film's Kashmiri music as its strongest assets, but call the screenplay thin, predictable and politically unengaged, with several finding the second half stagnates.

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 6 readings; 4 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.
