What the critics say

Critics praise the courtroom showdowns between Pawan Kalyan and Prakash Raj and call the remake's message powerful, but nearly all flag the flashback portion as weak, forced, and less emotional than Pink's original.

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 5 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.
