Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 50% audience score and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. 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
A natural pick for people who love a story about friendship and anyone who loves a will-they-won't-they. The friendships are the beating heart of it. Same wavelength as (500) Days of Summer or Say Anything.... The chemistry carries it.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 2 hr 26 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Several alumni reminisce about their final year at St. Theresa's College and the events that shaped their lives.
