What the critics say

Critics largely agree Ajith and Nayanthara's chemistry and energy carry this formulaic, predictable rural entertainer, though most flag a weaker, melodramatic second half with a thin villain and bloated runtime.

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 11 readings; 6 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.
