Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a box office flop and almost no 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
- Best for people who like their stories with a little danger and people who like stories about real, flawed people. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Liked Dial M for Murder? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 2 hr 29 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
An idol smuggler comes to a village to steal a valuable idol and convinces a local small-time thief to help him. Do they succeed?
