Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, 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

The mood
Funny with heart.
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).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
