Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With 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
One for romantics and parents and kids watching together. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Shelve it next to The Secret Garden or Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
The mood
Warm and romantic, feel-good.
The pace
A big, patient story, at 2 hr 55 min.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's long: 2 hr 55 min.
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A man and a woman have opposing beliefs about love. He sees her as a friend, but she is in love with him. When the woman decides to marry someone else, the man is left with a heavy heart and wonders if this is what love feels like.
