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
- If you count yourself among politics junkies and anyone who loves a strong drama, this one's for you. Power and ambition drive every scene. If you loved Clear and Present Danger or Kiss of the Spider Woman, start here.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 21 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A young Indian man has been assured by an uncle that all he needs to land a lucrative job is to show up to the interview in a Western style suit, but the morning of the interview is fraught with unexpected difficulties.
