Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
It made about 5 times its budget, but middling reviews (40% 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
- Great for people who love relationship stories and book lovers. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr 29 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Critics were cooler on it than audiences.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
A man and a woman come from two very different cultural backgrounds, and decide that they won't get married until they convince their parents. As feared, differences between the families pose a hurdle.
