Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for armchair detectives and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. A good follow-up to Shadow of a Doubt or Evil Under the Sun.
The mood
Tense, gritty.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 2 hr 14 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
  • Not ideal if you just want to unwind.

Rajan, a radio engineer, is found murdered in Madras during the tense World War II era, amid fears of a Japanese air raid on the city. CID officer Sivanandham investigates the case as each suspect—Rajan's wife, lover, relatives, and neighbors—narrates a different version of events, revealing hidden motives and secrets that lead to the truth.
