What the critics say

Critics credit Nagarjuna's restrained performance, Thaman's score and sharp cinematography, especially once the Nepal mission kicks in, but most found the investigation-heavy first half slow, derivative and underwritten.

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; 8 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.
