What the critics say

Critics call it a brilliantly written, intense crime drama with magnetic, equally matched performances from Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi, though one review found the puzzle-box plot never fully earns Vikram's obsession with Vedha.

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; 3 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.
