What the critics say

Critics mostly praise John Abraham's career-best, steady lead performance in this intelligent geopolitical spy thriller, though some find the conspiracy plot confusing or formulaic and the pacing slow to warm up.

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 7 readings; 6 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.
