In summary, Vanvaas is a compelling showcase for Nana Patekar’s talent, but its uneven execution and excessive length dilute the overall impact.

Overall, ‘Vanvaas’ impresses because of Nana Patekar and Utkarsh Sharma as well as some good scenes, but the pace and the additional cast make it a bit tiresome.

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.
