At a time when intolerance is at an all time high, we need more such efforts to remind us of the common humanity that binds us. Kudos to director Aijaz Khan for his all heart endeavour.

Milan Talkies
...watching Milan Talkies is like watching a flawed but fantastic idea taking shape and dissolving upon itself. You leave the theatre wondering what could have been if Tigmanshu had a smooth sailing throughout...

Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota
...the film’s gags don’t travel well outside the context. It’s one of those -- ‘you’ve to be there’ -- kind of films. But within those two hours, you’ll surely laugh your head off.

Kesari
Akshay Kumar is verily the soul of the film. His bearing, his mannerisms are totally that of a professional soldier.

Notebook
...it's a simple, old fashioned piece of romance, something that perhaps belongs to the Hrishikesh Mukherjee school of filmmaking.

Gone Kesh
...is an old fashioned film about real world issues that will make you smile as well as ponder at the same time.

Romeo Akbar Walter
Watching the film is like akin to reading a John Le Carre novel. You have one set of mandarins squaring off against the other with pawns being sacrificed for future advantage.

No Fathers In Kashmir
The film is an elegy to not only the lost beauty of Kashmir, but also to its way of life, as also the loss of innocence of its children.

Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aaata Hai?
...this remake offers an interesting take on the original. A little more care would have made it a far better film.

The Tashkent Files
Shastri's life is a much more interesting subject than his death. We wish someone makes a biopic on that, instead of speculating on his death. It should be stated that the film looks biased against a certain political party. Given the fact that elections are at hand, the film ideally should have been released post the voting...

Blank
...given its premise, the film had the potential to be an edge-of-the-seat thriller, if only the writing and execution could have been better.

Setters
The writing goes from being focussed to being all over the place. In effect, the balance of the film isn’t right. It’s too intense in some areas and playful in others.

Chhota Bheem: Kung Fu Dhamaka
One must say that the film is mounted better than the earlier full-length affairs. The artwork is bright and colourful and the 3D effects are nice as well.

Nakkash
Better attention to detail and better writing would have turned Nakkash into a powerful vehicle propagating Hindu-Muslim unity -- something that’s much needed in these troubled times. Instead, you’re left with a sense of what could have been as you come out of the theatre...

Bharat
Somewhere along the way, the focus of the film shifts from India to Bharat the character and that's its chief flaw. You leave the theatre feeling underwhelmed...

Kabir Singh
What keeps us from noticing the film's flaws outright is the power-packed performance by Shahid Kapoor.

Article 15
Watch the film for its riveting performances and its underlying message that even after 70 years as a free country, we’re still shackled to the chains of caste.

Marudhar Express
The film had the potential to be a bitter-sweet comedy about relationships but in its present form, remains a classic case of opportunity gone waste.

One Day
Vigilante justice films have to have the right mix of mayhem and violence. They should persuade us that the wrong-doers deserve this kind of raw punishment. Director Ashok Nanda hasn’t been able to offer the right balance and as a result, the film fails to make the kind of impact it was aiming for...

The industry is always hungry for more talent and it’s good to know it has found two performers in Meezaan and Sharmin.

Super 30
The film belongs to Hrithik Roshan. He makes you forget the bad make-up and varying accent through his sheer involvement in the role. He underplays the anger, the pain, as well as the joy, felt by his character and makes us believe in Anand Kumar.

Family Of Thakurganj
Some films are plain hard to define and this one is one of them. One fails to understand the motive behind making such a film as this.

Judgemental Hai Kya
The film looks like something out of French New Wave cinema in most parts but segues into commercial Hindi cinema territory as well. Imagine Polanski's Repulsion (1965) given a Manmohan Desai treatment.

Khandaani Shafakhana
Where the film stumbles majorly is in the screenplay and editing. There is a lack of coherency in both the departments that kind of drags the film down. The film has been made with its heart in the right place.

Jabariya Jodi
...while Jabariya Jodi is saying all the right things, it falters in the execution. Better attention to detail would really have made a wealth of difference for the film.
