Who'll love it
Made for romantics and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved (500) Days of Summer or My Girl, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 34 min.
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Three friends who were inseparable in childhood decide to go on a three-week-long bachelor road trip to Spain, in order to re-establish their bond and explore thrilling adventures, before one of them gets married. What will they learn of themselves and each other during the adventure?
