Baar Baar Dekho
You can't sell a 100-year-old idea with futuristic frills. That just doesn't add up.

Island City
You need to have an appetite for Isaac Asimov kind of sci-fi coupled with a taste for fine cinema. Else you’ll find yourself a little lost in the detailed and very dystopian world of this film.

Akira
...is like any other action movie you’ve seen before, where the hero is framed and has to prove himself right. The difference here is the film’s ability to successfully tell that tale with a girl at its centre.

UnIndian
This film may be called UnIndian but its treatment, writing and technique is unmistakably Indian and a little too obsessed with being masala.

Mohenjo Daro
With its story and characters crumbling under its cinematic ambition, the only thing that makes Mohenjo Daro a sweeping cinematic experience is its visuals.

Budhia Singh
...does not have the thrills and gimmicks to draw big numbers. But that's exactly what the film deserves. The stupendous storytelling of this film deserves a lot more than 100 crores.

Great Grand Masti
...has all the regular trappings to satisfy the average adult comedy aficionado. But if you expect even the slightest amount of grace and intelligence in your cinema, you’ll have to look away.

Shorgul

Raman Raghav 2.0
...it can only be enjoyed if you can accept misogyny, death and gore as integral parts of reality. Otherwise, this movie can be quite the nerve-wracking experience.

Dhanak
If you believe in inspirational Instagram posts and the power of positivity, Dhanak is the film for you. The cynics might find the lack of gritty realism a bit too much, but even the most hardcore realists will agree that this little road movie ticks all the boxes when it comes to ending on a happy note.

Veerappan
It's not the worst film Ram Gopal Varma has made. Nor is it any close to his best. It's just a middle-of-the-road offering where seeing an actor look like the mirror image of Veerappan catches your fancy for a few fleeting moments.

Buddha In A Traffic Jam
...has the right ideas. But the way it tells it's story is lackluster. In trying to be relevant and artistic, it loses the plot on more than one occasion.

1920 London
The usual characteristics of a horror film, like eerie music, make-up, special effects and moody cinematography are all lackluster though. If you like genuine thrills you'd have to look away. This one's just for gags.

It’s a unique concept, it’s been executed by some masterful CGI and SRK has dug deep into his reserves to give a stellar double-role performance.

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.

Kapoor & Sons
Director / writer Shakun Batra's and his co-writer Ayesha Deveitre Dhillon are the true heroes of this film. Their story, their dialogue and the situations they've created add great depth to the movie.

Neerja
That Neerja, the film, takes that stance makes all the difference in cinematic quality. You can see a lot of thought and effort was put into crafting this film.
