Summary
Raj, a peaceful car modifier, lives a quiet life with his younger brother in Goa, hiding a violent past as the son of a feared crime lord. When his brother falls for a young woman, Raj is forced to confront Meera, the love of his life from years ago, whose family was on the opposing side of a deadly feud. The film moves between past and present as old wounds reopen and the couple must reckon with the misunderstandings that tore them apart.
Dilwale is a 2015 action, comedy and drama film.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them. The calibrated figure is built from 141 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 159 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 51 of whom clear the calibration test.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Dilwale lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 141.
