Three scores. One rule.
One number out of 10
People 60%, critics 25%, creators 15%. Each critic's official rating is converted to 10; an opinion with no number counts 8 if positive, 5.5 if mixed, 3 if negative. No rating until 30 people have had their say.
Named reviews, official ratings
Each review is opened and its byline and published rating read off the page. Reviews with no personal byline show as staff reviews. 3 out of 5 or more is positive, below 2.5 negative, between is mixed.
Established channels only
YouTube reviewers with 100,000 or more subscribers. Each verdict comes from what they say in the video; unclear ones are left out, not guessed.
What viewers say
Comments are read by AI in Telugu, Tenglish and English. Fan-war posts and the same sentence pasted on several videos are removed. Under 30 opinions, there is no score.
Your own verdict
One vote per device per film, which you can change. Votes are counted on their own, apart from the People score, until ticket checks prove who watched.
Money never touches a score
No producer, star or reviewer can pay to change a number. Scores sum up public opinion. They are not statements of fact about anyone.
