This 48-hours-of-investigation thriller, which seem to lack a layer or two, will keep you engaged. With Missing On A Weekend, the legendary singer Padmashree Hariharan\u2019s son, Karan Hariharan is making his Bollywood debut. The movie also stars talented actors like Pawan Malhotra and Dishank Arora. It also marks the launch pad of Hariharan\u2019s elder son, Akshay Hariharan as the film&#8217;s music director. All in all, Missing On A Weekend has a lot of new talent to watch out for, and an interesting and intriguing plot.<\/p>\n<p><b>Plot<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Missing On A Weekend is set in Goa and highlights the rising issue of crime relating to drugs in India\u2019s favourite holiday destination. Playing the lead in the movie is Karan Hariharan as Laksh, who joins his group of friends for a weekend trip to Goa. The Goa Police finds him unconscious on the Calangute beach. Upon investigation, it is revealed that due to a deep wound on the head, Laksh is suffering from temporary amnesia. Later, Laksh reveals that he had been staying at the Morjim resort. When the police team reaches the resort, they find a dead body in Laksh\u2019s room, followed by another dead body of a girl on a beach.<\/p>\n<p>Then comes the CBI officer Ali Ansari (played by Pawan Malhotra), who tries to piece it all together and tries to find Laksh\u2019s missing friends. Will Ali Ansari be successful in finding Laksh\u2019s missing friends is what forms the crux of the film. What happens to Laksh&#8217;s friends? Whose bodies are discovered in the hotel room and the beach? Find answers to these questions by watching the flick this weekend.<\/p>\n<p><b>Performances<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As a stand-out debutant, Karan Hariharan alias Laksh has portrayed the character of a confused 20-something in a phenomenal way. His angry, frowning look has made the character highly believable. Other debutants in the movie, including Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Shiva Dagar, Khushboo Kamal and Jyoti Sethi have met the expectations of the audience and delivered remarkable performances too. Superbly talented actor, Pawan Malhotra has undoubtedly nailed the surprise thriller with his role of the CBI officer.<\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s Good?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Scenes involving the debutant Karan Hariharan and Pawan Malhotra are a must-watch. The climax scene has been shot excellently and you\u2019ll also enjoy the action sequences in the movie.<\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s Bad?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Although all the newcomers in the film have put in their best efforts towards portraying their characters uniquely, they fail to make the movie engaging for the audience.<\/p>\n<p><b>Verdict<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of crime-scene investigations and suspense thrillers, then &#8216;Missing On A Weekend\u2019 is for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Missing On A Weekend Rating ***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Release Date: August 26, 2016 Starring: Karan Hariharan, Pawan Malhotra, Dishank Arora, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Shiva Dagar, Khushboo Kamal and Jyoti Sethi Directed by: Abhishek Jawkar Produced by: Rajesh Patange, Sebastian Joseph and Abhishek Jawkar Story: Abhishek Jawkar Music by: Nakash Aziz, Akshay and Shaan Duration: 1 hr 53 min Genre: Drama, Mystery, Thriller Censor Rating: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11568,"featured_media":60826,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-60824","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11568"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60824"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60824\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60827,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60824\/revisions\/60827"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
