Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but a box office flop and middling reviews (45% on Rotten Tomatoes) held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics, anyone who wants a laugh and action fans. If you loved Poor Things or True Romance, start here.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone, romantic.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 2 hr 2 min.
What might put you off
It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Chronically unsuccessful MI7 operative Happy Patel is finally assigned a mission in Goa, where he uncovers his Indian roots and must rescue a high-profile scientist from crime lord Mama. Unaware of his Indian heritage and armed with a comically British accent, Happy’s blunders trigger a string of chaotic mishaps that could lead him to expose a criminal network.
