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
- Great for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and fans of a well-timed joke. Leaves you with something to think about. Liked Crazy Rich Asians or To All the Boys: Always and Forever? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 2 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 aspiring filmmaker, who is also down on luck, goes to Singapore to meet a producer, but what follows is misadventure after misadventure, with a dash of romance thrown in.
