Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With soft box office and little lasting buzz, 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
- Great for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone looking to switch off and smile. Low effort, high reward: just press play. Sits nicely alongside Dil To Pagal Hai or Father of the Bride.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 2 hr 15 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1958: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Classmates Laaj and Shyam elope to Bombay with Laaj's necklace, which they hope to pawn to pay for their travels. On the train, a crafty journalist named Pran overhears the lovers' plan and follows them in search of a story. When Shyam snatches the necklace and runs off, it's Pran to the rescue. What follows is a song-filled caper of intrigue, adventure and romance.
