Doctor (2021)
▸ Decent one-time watch
Doctor is streaming in Malaysia on Netflix, Sun Nxt.
The verdict
Doctor is a middling Tamil film — fine for a one-time watch but unlikely to stay with you. It holds a 6.4/10 on TMDB from 61 ratings, right around average territory. At 150 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In Malaysia you can stream it on Netflix, Sun Nxt.
Should you spend 2h 30m on it?
2h 30m of Tamil thriller with a comedy streak. A little over the usual, so start it earlier than you think.
Don't watch this if…
- you'd rather wait for a consensus. Only 61 ratings in so far
- you've only got a couple of hours. It needs 2h 30m
- Why
- At 6.4/10 from 61 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
