Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, 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
Right up the alley of anyone who wants a laugh and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Fans of Secondhand Lions or Swingers should feel right at home.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 10 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

the film is about how a barber's life is turned upside down when a film unit comes to the village for a shoot, and the news spreads that superstar Ashok Raj (Mammootty) is the barber's childhood friend. The script also by Srinivasan is so layered that every frame has a comment to make about the world and every line of the dialogue, on the mores of the society. The craze for celebrities and the problems of leading a principled life are discussed without being preachy.
