Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
- Made for anyone in the mood for a love story and fans of a well-timed joke. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Same wavelength as Freakier Friday.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 2 hr 20 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Alvy (Shine Tom) and Vikku (Balu) are two petty thieves. Their lives turn upside down when a pair of ancient rings swaps Alvy's body with that of a female software engineer Janaki (Anushree). This leads to several hilarious situations while both of them work out a plan to reverse the effects.
