Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for crime fans and romantics. Leaves you with something to think about. Same wavelength as Jab Tak Hai Jaan.
The mood
Dark and gritty, warm and romantic.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 2 hr 13 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1957: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

City-bred Ramu is involved in petty crime. When his close friend Gopal asks him to go to the village and look after his mother and sister Chanda, Ramu does so. After coming to know both mother and daughter, they decide to re-locate to the big city to be together with Gopal. In the process, Ramu and Chanda fall in love with each other. Chanda wants Ramu to give up his life of crime, but will his crime partners allow Ramu to lead a normal life?
