'''''Missing on a Weekend''''' is an Indian investigating thriller film directed by Abhishek Jawkar and produced by Rajesh Patange, Sebastian Joseph and Abhishek Jawkar.

==Premise==
''Missing on a Weekend'' is an investigating crime story based in Goa. Police Inspector Ali Ansari ([[Pavan Malhotra]]) from CBI has been transferred to Goa to take charge of the current ugly undercover crime space which has troubled the tourism capital of India.

Ansari has now got a new case in the midst of all the chaos, where one guy, Laksh ([[Karan Hariharan]]) has been found unconscious on Calangute beach. He is brutally hurt on his head and has lost a substantial part of his memory. After the brief investigation, police get to know his whereabouts in Goa. As the police team reaches the resort where Laksh and his six other friends from Delhi are staying, they found one of his friend dead in one toilet of a cottage and all other friends are missing.

Now, Ansari is left with only one suspect-cum-victim-cum survivor, Laksh, who hardly remembers anything that has happened.<ref>{{cite web|title=Abhishek Jawkar: 'Missing On A Weekend', 'Singer Hariharan's son joins Bollywood with 'Missing On A Weekend'|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/singer-hariharan-s-son-joins-bollywood-with-missing-on-a-weekend/story-Fw8wG1tINNtijDAAjyfFCN.html|website=[[Hindustan Times]]|accessdate=20 May 2016|date=20 May 2016}}</ref>
