Harud
One of the most visually impactful films in recent times, Harud may not be palatable to all primarily because of its pace. But the sheer power of the manner in which Kashmir has been captured on celluloid will make it worth a watch for many.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
...the kind of film you wouldn’t mind watching despite the fact that there isn’t much in the film that is memorable. With a cast that will win your heart and music that’ll play on loop in your head for a while after, the film is fun but rarely much more.

Bhoothnath Returns
Though it is a tad too naïve and preachy, and a little too long for it's own good, the film attempts to make a point that a number of us can learn from; it is a well-acted film with some genuine moments.

2 States
...provides instant gratification primarily because of a charming lead cast and an excellent supporting cast that rises above the rather tame writing.

Kaanchi
With gratingly bad performances and a poorly written script that doesn't quite know what to do with its noble intentions, the film's greatest redeeming quality is that it ends.

Samrat & Co.
...an unfortunate recreation of Sherlock Holmes in an Indian setting, one that miserably fails in its mission.

Revolver Rani
Such a shame. A woman-centric film and all that. Hard to like despite the quirks.

Children Of War
...a beautifully shot, disturbing film that falls short of being truly special because of the lack of an emotional core.

Kochadaiiyaan
...a sore disappointment primarily because of the poor quality of animation and VFX.

Katiyabaaz
Insightful, scathing and even a tad bit depressing at times, the film is crisp and thoroughly entertaining, but with also a rather pertinent point to it all.

Sulemani Keeda
Beautifully acted, with some crackling lines, it's the kind of bug you won't mind being bitten by.

Buddha In A Traffic Jam
Nothing, though can redeem the film from its sheer lack of heft.

Veere Di Wedding
It’s strange that filmmakers take some risk when mounting a film like Veere Di Wedding, and then don’t back it with sensible writing all the way through, trusting the audience to understand a modicum of nuance and subtlety.

Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota
...the film remains watchable throughout, despite all its shaky foundation, precisely because it gives us an experience we rarely see in Indian cinema. It is stylish and cool and silly all at once, which does work in its favour as well.

Mumbai Saga
If only the director had chosen to up his game further (and trusted today’s audience a little more) instead of turning back to a formula that has worked for him in the past, Mumbai Saga could have been a film worth returning to theatres for; all safety precautions considered.
