What the critics say
A sharp, well-made thriller with a smart original script, strong turns from Jayam Ravi and Arvind Swami as a convincingly menacing villain, and Nayanthara used beyond a love interest, despite some length and logic leaps.

80
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 3 readings; 1 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.
