Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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: Aimed squarely at anyone in the mood for a love story and people who need a good giggle. Easy company after a long day.
The mood: Light and funny, romantic.
The pace: Quick and easy-going, at 2 hr 11 min.
What might put you off: It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

One condition prevents young Leena (Leena Chandravarkar) from receiving her inheritance: She's unwed -- and until she marries, her uncle won't relinquish her legacy. When the frustrated Leena meets jobless Sanjeev (Sanjeev Kumar), the duo concocts a quid-pro-quo scheme: For a sum, Sanjeev will temporarily pose as her spouse. But once Leena has her fortune in hand, she's ready for "hubby" to make tracks.
