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; 2 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2, computed 7 Sep 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.

Synopsis
Rajashekar (Chief Minister of Karnataka) is framed, so his secretary recruits Krishna, a kindhearted lookalike, to impersonate the violent heir Dhanush. When the real Dhanush returns, both men clash for political power and Rukmini’s love. Krishna must protect Rukmini from Dhanush while also rising as a leader the people trust.
