What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Critics largely agree the central conflict, lead performance and Dhananjaya's cameo work, but say the comedy falls flat, the story is predictable, and the pacing turns slow or monotonous later on.

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; 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.
