102 Not Out
Every single gesture is overdone and extra boisterous like Bachchan's inflated exuberance and screaming prosthetics, reminiscent of the 1970s when he'd masquerade as a grey-haired old man playing to the gallery. It was phony, but so much fun.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
...is so terribly obvious in its deviousness, there’s not even a smidgen of surprise to expect.

Agneepath
Beautifully shot and packaged with a fabulous soundtrack and superlative ensemble cast, Aisha, quite often, gets caught up in a self-created tangle of brand-led vanity to ever let one get acquainted to its leading lady.

Aiyaary
It's a bloated, prolonged mess of misplaced purpose that digresses from military misdeeds to animal cruelty.

AK vs AK
Somewhere in trying to find its tone between mockumentary, metaphorical and cinema verite, what emerges is incredulous yet oddly engaging.

Akira
Sonakshi moves, feels and looks the part that’s all but empty heft in a script so extraordinarily dated and bereft of punch.

Aladin
What Ghosh dishes out in its place is some half-hearted hocus-pocus, a clumsy mix of old world lore with contemporary indifference, sloppy trips to the flashback and awkward bursts of forced sentimentality.

Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aaata Hai?
...labours hard to be metaphoric and of significance.

Aligarh
...the portrayal Aligarh offers is refreshing and respectful. But it’s much too multifaceted, at times for its own good, to be acknowledged for just that.

Angrezi Medium
Despite a superb set of actors at its disposal, Angrezi Medium squanders away their charisma to play undistinguished, unremarkable characters.

Angry Indian Goddesses
...it's so good to see a film that revels in womanhood as much as this one.

Angry Indian Goddesses
Frankly, why don't we improvise on the usual before taking on the genre of unusual love stories, what say?

Baadshaho
...Baadshaho's sluggish screenplay and humourless rhythm are spectacularly low on swagger and daredevilry as well.

Baaghi 3
...hits rock bottom of the birdbrained franchise through its course of two and a half hours of reason defying, mind numbing, soul destroying free-for-all.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
There are times Baahubali shows the strain of expectation, especially in the second half's doddering pace and excessive, unconvincing VFX, but when it communicates from a place of heart, it moves and enthralls.

Badla
...wears the air of a cold, civil, old-fashioned whodunit, which treats its premise like an insidious game and characters with undisguised suspicion.

Badmaash Company
Sethi's directorial debut starts out with cocksure confidence and zing but soon runs out of mischief, bonhomie, wizardry and pretty much everything else.

Badmashiyaan
Wearing incoherence like a badge, Badmashiyaan proceeds to and fro exhausting the viewer with its relentless lunacy and shabby screenwriting.

Bahubali
The first part of the epic leaves behind dollops of rip-roaring entertainment to relish till it’s back to finish what it started in perhaps even more jaw-dropping manner.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
Even in its unmistakably masala tone, it firmly believes the desire for peace is universal and recommends being a hero. Or just human.

Bala
Once again at the centre of an embarrassing problem, a nagging lie and potential heartbreak is Ayushmann Khurrana. And the actor channels everybody from SRK to Bobby Deol to Kamal Sadanah to play out a relevant issues of a real man and the idols we all create and emulate and fail to live up to.
