NDTV · Saibal

The film does throw up a few tense moments and some surprises along the way but, despite what is at stake, is overall a rather tepid affair. The surface veneer of Dhamaka does not quite percolate any further.

A huge palatial house. Hero with parentage issues. The heroine is in trouble because of the parentage issue. Does it feel like the story of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo?

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
