What the critics say

Critics largely praise Kapil Sharma and Shahana Goswami's performances in this gig-economy slice-of-life, calling it honest and affecting, though several find the script thin, the pacing dragging and direction uneven.

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 8 readings; 5 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.
