Karwaan
...isn’t perfect, but I enjoyed the film’s laidback, unhurried vibe, and it’s terrific music.

Fanney Khan
...squanders so much potential, it practically breaks your heart. Only Anil Kapoor succeeds in leaving his stamp all over the film, making your heart go out to this 'selfless' man on a mission.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
It’s a good reminder that a bigger budget and bigger scale don’t necessarily make for a better film.

Dhadak
...is ultimately a homogenous Karan Johar production that offers comfort in the familiar...for those seeking it. For the rest of us, it’s just baffling why the folks involved would choose to remake a film about the horrors of caste supremacy, but erase practically every mention of caste from the film.

Sanju
It’s a consistently engaging film that makes its way to your heart even though the head frequently resists.

Bhavesh Joshi Superhero
...is an impressive, admirable attempt at creating a vulnerable middle-class superhero in the real world, committed to tackling everyday challenges faced by the ordinary citizen. But it’s also bloated and indulgent...

Raazi
The film is admirable also because it’s a measured, mostly intelligent thriller that asks us to consider concepts of patriotism and honor without spoon-feeding us with manipulative background music or provocative dialogue.

Omerta
You might see it as the other side of the same coin that is Shahid. The making of a man deeply affected by similar incidents, but one who chooses a different path.

102 Not Out
Despite its many shortcomings 102 Not Out has its heart in the right place, and a pair of actors clearly enjoying themselves on screen. Their infectious energy alone makes this film worth a watch.

Beyond The Clouds
Ultimately the film offers comfort in the familiar…for those that seek it. It’s Majid Majidi-lite at best; a bittersweet, inoffensive drama that runs, but never flies.

Hichki
...this is broad-brushstrokes filmmaking. Surprisingly, it works. And much of it is because Rani Mukerji is in solid form...

Raid
It’s promising and delivers many rousing moments, but it runs out of steam well before the finish line.

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
...has a strange kind of earnestness in its juvenile ambitions. I was uncomfortable with its decidedly women-bashing stand, but I enjoyed the film’s silly, relentless humor.

Pad Man
...is admirable and has its heart in the right place, but it might have benefited from a less sermonizing tone.

Padmaavat
...delivers a film that is richly cinematic, but whose story – as it turns out – has little of the emotional complexity that powered his last film Bajirao Mastani.

Mukkabaaz
...its narrative stretched by way too many background songs, and an inevitable sense of repetition and wallowing in the protagonist’s misery. Yet it might be Kashyap’s most accessible film since Gangs of Wasseypur, and his only crime here may be one of overreaching.

Kaalakaandi
The humor is hysterical but never consistent. And sadly there’s not a lot more to it.

Tiger Zinda Hai
...is way too long at 2 hours and 41 minutes, but it packs some thrilling action and a beloved leading man presented in just the manner that the fans seem to want to see him.

Monsoon Shootout
Here’s a story with wasted potential, one that could have been more effective with tighter writing and clever twists.

Ajji
...is a tough watch. Deliberately so. It took me a long time to get the film out of my head, and while it’s potent and rattling, it’s not for the faint-hearted.

Tumhari Sulu
...belongs to its leading lady, and Vidya Balan is so good in it, she glosses over many of the script problems and gives us a protagonist so compelling it’s hard not to succumb to her charm.

Qarib Qarib Singlle
The film employs honesty and humor to make important observations about letting go of the past and about making a real connection with someone.
