Our research-based take
The Salty Score: 2/5. An eccentric spy joke stretched thin.
Vir Das's comic sensibility gives this an offbeat identity, but the critical response suggests the spy-romance-comedy mix is inconsistent. There may be flashes of inspired absurdity for fans of that humour. On balance, the available reviews make it sound like a film with more ideas than follow-through, and a premise that is funnier than the full running time.
This is our editorial judgment from published information and critical coverage, not a first-hand screening review. Read the source coverage. We may revise the score after viewing the film.
