What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics praise Akshay Kumar's performance, Rohit Shetty's action craft and the trio's climax, but many call the plot predictable and formulaic, with Katrina Kaif's role widely seen as underwritten and some faulting its handling of communal politics.

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 13 readings; 10 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.
