Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
Made for history and war-film fans and anyone who wants a laugh. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Sits nicely alongside The Karate Kid.
The mood
Funny with heart, feel-good.
The pace
A big, patient story, at 2 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's long: 2 hr 34 min.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Businessman Bhaskaran Pillai builds a large commercial empire until his wife dies. Under pressure from his son, Bhaskaran goes on a trip where he meets Hima, a small-business owner.
