Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, 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 families and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
A big, patient story, at 2 hr 45 min.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's long: 2 hr 45 min.
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want something with an edge.

When Aarti's father disapproves of Ajay's poor status, Ajay goes away from her life. When she finally meets him, he claims to be Vijay. Meanwhile, Vijay's policeman brother makes a shocking discovery.
