What the critics say
Critics are split: some praise Mammootty's performance, the camerawork and a sexism-free take on moral policing, while others call the script thin and clichéd with jokes that fall flat, and even an admirer like Vetticad says manipulative handling of Mammootty's character undercuts the film's potential.

Derived by Filmi
32
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 4 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.
