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: Great for people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 13 min.
What might put you off: It's in Telugu, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Priyanka, a rich heiress, cheats a poor uneducated Raja, which leads to an unfortunate death. As a result, Raja decides to teach Priyanka a lesson in humility & challanges her that he will earn double the money what she has, with a condition that if she looses the bet, then she should marry him.
