Overall, Adhik delivers what was promised to fans. But, is it a film that treats fans and is a masterclass in good storytelling? That's a question only the audience can answer.

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.
