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
Aimed squarely at anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on. Fans of A Place in the Sun or The Wild One should feel right at home.
The mood
Dark and gritty, warm and romantic.
The pace
A big, patient story, at 2 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's long: 2 hr 33 min.
  • It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Three men try to overcome the problems in their lives not realising the impact their efforts are having on the women in their lives.
