Laal Singh Chaddha (2022)
Laal Singh Chaddha is streaming in Canada on Netflix.
The verdict
Laal Singh Chaddha neither embarrasses itself nor gives you much reason to recommend it. It holds a 6.3/10 on TMDB from 98 ratings, right around average territory. At 164 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In Canada you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 2h 44m on it?
2h 44m of Hindi drama with a romance streak. Long enough that it wants your full attention rather than a second screen.
