What the critics say
Critics call it a triumph of understated, naturalistic craft, praising Fahadh Faasil's and Suraj Venjaramoodu's performances and Dileesh Pothan's direction, with only the forgettable songs and some doubt about the time spent on a secondary character as reservations.

Derived by Filmi
83
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; 0 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.
