Shamitabh
...a film unlike any other. Its themes are dark and deep. Its observations are candid and funny. Like any good film, its a mixture of art and mart.

Shagird
The film entertains you but it never quite elevates itself beyond the status of a regular masala film.

Shab
The maturity and the subtlety with which Onir tackles the themes of Shab make it worth a watch.

Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana
...talks about the dowry system, the inequality towards women in civil services and general working opportunities etc, it really feels like a mature and relevant story. But the treatment is so lackluster that it relegates the movie to Indian soap opera status. It’s a definite letdown.

Second Hand Husband
If you are a fan of punjabi movies, music and actors Second Hand Husband has the right trappings. Otherwise it's all a bit too pointless.

Satyameva Jayate
...desperately tries very hard to sell the age-old idea of revenge and righteousness. But the big booming treatment is a little too hard to accept and digest.

Satya 2
This film does no favours for the career of its maker or its young cast trying to find a footing in the industry. Making such movies should be considered a crime.

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.

Sarbjit
Some stories deserve to be told with nuance and intimacy. You can't employ movie making formula when you're trying to depict reality and tragedy with authenticity.

Saat Uchhakkey
It may not be the most polished product but it is a gem nonetheless, a funny movie with the right amount of weirdness and outrageous ideas.

Rustom
But for all its diversions from authenticity, end of the day, Rustom manages to entertain.

Running Shaadi
...could’ve really been a different comedy. It had the raw potential of a unique and innovative film. But the lack of focussed direction leaves it high and dry.

Roy
Director Vikramjit Singh’s ambitious first film had the potential but end of the day it turns into a tiresome affair. A tad too indulgent and too contrived.

Rowdy Rathore
It’s two-and-a-half hours of relentless comedy, action and drama. Most of it requires clinical skills of suspension of disbelief. But believe you me, in the end it’s well worth the effort.

Rocky Handsome
Style and stunts play a big role in action movies. But you can't discount other aspects of filmmaking just to make an action film that looks sexy.

Rockstar
Rockstar is not a very pleasing film. It's not easy to decipher, digest and understand. It has its own language. A language of fun, craziness, madness, pain and love. But in its own unpolished way, the film speaks of a poetic yet tragic romance.

Robot
This is entertainment at its best. Rajnikanth fans will faint and / or jump with joy. Detractors will have a hearty laugh. Either ways it’s a win-win situation.

Road, Movie
Yes, we all like a movie to stimulate our grey cells, but to serve up a perplexing narrative is just not done.

Right Yaaa Wrong
If you can look past a few out-of-focus shots, shoddy love making scenes and lack of foot-tapping music, this one’s actually got the brain to impress the average commercial film audience.

Revolver Rani
...pulp fiction cocktail is a bit all over the place. Sometimes it’s genuinely funny and at other times it’s painfully arbitrary.
