Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a box office flop, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone with a best friend they'd call at 3am and people who start the Christmas movies early. The friendships are the beating heart of it. A good follow-up to Hunt for the Wilderpeople or The Station Agent. Made to be watched with the tree lit.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 57 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Four friends from Calcutta who have very different personalities make a holiday excursion into the country, to a tiny village in the state of Bihar where they set themselves up in a bungalow. A series of minor events, all connected to their respective reactions to their new environment, reveals their characters more deeply.
