Correcting the release format too — this dropped on Netflix, not cinemas. Critics are further apart than "average reviews" suggests: Hollywood Reporter India was fairly unsparing, with one line landing particularly hard — "Your Honour, the accused is overstating... Your Honour, he is also overacting," mocking Akshaye Khanna's courtroom theatrics. Other reviewers rated it as high as 4/5, praising Tillotama Shome's performance specifically. The common thread across every review, though: the second half loses the plot in twists that don't quite add up, no matter which side of the rating you land on.
