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 12 readings; 7 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2, computed 7 Sep 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.

Synopsis
A notorious smuggler Waltair Veerayya is hired by a CI Seethapathi, reaches Malaysia with the ostensible mission of kidnapping a drug mafia leader named Solomon, who escaped India after wreaking havoc on the RAW agents and local policemen. Veerayya manages to pummel Solomon, who is fiercely protected by his ruthless gang-lord brother Kaala. Tables are turned, when Veerayya reveals that he shares a turbulent past with Kaala & an ACP Vikram Sagar who is hell-bent on ending his smuggling activities.
