Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a box office flop, 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
- A natural pick for history and war-film fans and people who like their stories with a little danger. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to True Romance.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Grand in scale, at 2 hr 45 min.
- What might put you off
- It's long: 2 hr 45 min.
- It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
Tamizh, a hardened criminal who does dirty jobs for money, falls in love with Shruthi, a charming girl, who hates his violent nature. His true purpose and identity are revealed after a turn of events.
