Baadshaho
Even as it serves up all the tricks in the commercial cinema book, it never quite connects with the audience. The thrills pan out like empty stunts without the right emotion.

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan
...is a zany and entertaining comedy that works because it's bold and beautiful in equal measure.

Babumoshai Bandookbaaz
Sadly, the film doesn’t quite do justice to its own potential and that definitely squanders the efforts of the actors.

Sniff
It plays safe in an attempt to be real and that’s the biggest disappointment. Sniff could’ve and should’ve been a lot more creative.

A Gentleman
This outlandish action comedy draws its kicks from slick action and quirky dialogue.

Jab Harry Met Sejal
...the spunky music and the exotic locales of Prague, Budapest, Frankfurt, Lisbon and other random cities in Europe make JHMS a vivid and engrossing watch.

Raag Desh
...recreates an important chapter of Indian history. Best part is, it does so with great detail and authenticity.

Indu Sarkar
...is no satire or subliminal piece on the history of Indian politics. It takes too many cinematic liberties, but thankfully its focus on the strong female lead lends it credibility and keeps the jingoism curbed.

Jagga Jasoos
...could have been so much more. But it just feels like a long and winding screenplay that tries to fit in too many clever ideas

Guest Iin London
...despite all attempts at making this film a masala entertainer, it never manages to rise above a trite script and some lackluster execution.

Mom
...is quite literally a thrill-a-minute ride. Its scenes are powerful and the best part is, the effort put in by the actors. Director Ravi Udyawar crafts an intense, taut and gratifying thriller.

Tubelight
This is a sweet little film alright, but the emotional inconsistencies just don’t iron out. It’s a classic case of what could've been a great film, settles for much less.

Bank Chor
Director Bumpy and his team of writers may not have done enough to please the classes, but their spunky little film has enough thrills and laughs to give the massy crowds value for money.

Behen Hogi Teri
Like countless romantic comedies before, this film just feels like another romantic film made on a template. Perfectly average, nothing special.

Dear Maya
...is a happy film about innocence, love and compassion. There’s no hard-hitting drama. Just a pleasant film with lots of love and genre fluff. A good film for those who believe in being hopelessly romantic.

Meri Pyaari Bindu
The seamless mix of comedy, romance and drama is fantastic too. At two hours, the film feels like an absolute breeze. Meri Pyaari Bindu hits a lot of ticks on the check boxes. And that is the strength of this refreshing new romance.

Sarkar 3
...has the right ideas but it makes a complete mess of its political themes by trying to be quirky for no reason. Had RGV just stuck to intensity and grit, this would’ve been a thrilling comeback for the maverick filmmaker.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
While it doesn't have the same panoramic adventure of its predecessor, it does make up with grand scale and precise execution.

Mirza Juuliet
