Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It was a box office smash, though it had little lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

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

Who'll love it: Right up the alley of anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and anyone in the mood for a love story. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. If you loved The Red Shoes, start here.
The mood: Warm and romantic.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 16 min.
What might put you off: It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

An epic love tale between a blind singer and bharathanatiyam dancer.
