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
Made for people who love relationship stories and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Liked Father of the Bride or Kal Ho Naa Ho? This is a good next one. Set against the energy of New York.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr 25 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

A man named Jaswinder (Ritesh Deshmukh) goes to the United States of America promising his parents that he will return soon and his sister marriage will be set. In America in a night club he meets an American girl named Sally (Brande Roderick) and marries her for his visa. He obviously forgets to remember the promise he made that he would go back to India. Meanwhile in India his parents have found him a new bride, typical Punjabi kudi, Richa (Hrishitaa Bhatt). His sister calls him to America by telling him that his father had a heart-attack, but that is the way they could bring him back to India.
