What the audience says
Doctor is a middling Tamil film — fine for a one-time watch but unlikely to stay with you. It holds a 6.3/10 on TMDB from 64 ratings, right around average territory.
Should you spend 2h 30m on it?
2h 30m of Tamil thriller with a comedy streak, not one for younger kids. A little over the usual, so start it earlier than you think.
Don't watch this if…
- you'd rather go with a consensus. Only 64 people have rated it
- you've only got a couple of hours. It needs 2h 30m
- Why
- At 6.3/10 from 64 ratings, audiences are split; the genre fit matters more than the score here.
- Skip if
- you want to relax rather than be wound up
- Best for
- A night you can give it your full attention
