What the critics say

Most critics praise the real-life dialogue, Spain cinematography, music and performances (especially Farhan Akhtar), though several flag a slow, clunky first half that picks up after intermission, with one dissenting voice calling it a vacuous tourism advert.

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 7 readings; 2 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.
