Sunday Safe Betearly ratingWhy it’s a Sunday Safe Bet
It was critically acclaimed, though it had almost no lasting buzz and soft box office. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for anyone looking to switch off and smile and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. Easy company after a long day. Fans of Code 3 or Blindspotting should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 3 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1977: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
A good-hearted taxi-driver (Amol Palelar) goes out of his way to help his customers, and when times turn bad for him, and he has no one to turn to, his former customers come to assistance. The other priority on his shoulders is to marry - but before that he must accomplish himself.
