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…
