What the critics say

Critics mostly agree Paresh Rawal commits fully to the Taj Story's bold, controversial premise, but most say weak, overstretched writing and a messy courtroom climax waste it without real answers.

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; 5 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.
