Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and anyone who loves a strong drama. Best watched without your phone in hand. Same wavelength as Killer's Kiss.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 6 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not ideal if you just want to unwind.
