Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for fans of a well-timed joke and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Easy company after a long day. A good follow-up to Blindspotting or Big.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 14 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

The generation gap between a 56-year-old father and an 18-year-old son results in misunderstanding, distance, and tension between them. A family entertainer, Pappa Tamne Nahi Samjaay has the right balance of comedy and drama, featuring the emotional bond the two protagonists share.
