Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who like their stories with a little danger and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Sits nicely alongside In Cold Blood.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
