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: Aimed squarely at action fans and adventure lovers. Leaves you with something to think about. Shelve it next to True Grit.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr 21 min.
What might put you off: It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Ranimaa, a one-time empress, refuses to believe that her home is no longer a palace, even though she and her four children have turned it into a hotel. So when the police inform her that four bank robbers have checked in and they need to search every nook and cranny, she haughtily stands in the way of justice.
