Seen it?

Weeknight Watchearly rating

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
One for anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead and music lovers. Leaves you with something to think about. Same wavelength as Killer's Kiss.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 13 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Uncredited remake of "Ghost". Dead man's spirit, unable to bear separation from his wife, communicates to her through a wacky medium.
