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.
