Break Ke Baad
...the prospect of zero individuality in a creative medium is hardly a deal breaker. And it's definitely not cool anymore.

Boss
Given the low benchmark of this genre, it’s akin to praise when I say Boss is neither as absurd as Rowdy Rathore nor as ghastly as Policegiri.

Bombay Talkies
...an absorbing ode to the language of cinema that is part of our collective system.

Bol Bachchan
...while Dabangg offered a precise volume of coolness and chutzpah, Ready went overboard with the shtick. Bodyguard, meanwhile, is on the underwhelming side.

Blank
The point behind this poorly made wingding is a debut. Karan Kapadia is Dimple Kapadia's nephew and the late actress-turned-costume designer Simple Kapadia's son.

Bhoothnath Returns
Whatever connect the towering Bachchan makes with his viewer is rudely disrupted to accommodate mediocre songs or misplaced sentimentalism in a prolonged slide show of poignant portraits making Bhoothnath's return quite a drag in the end.

Bhoomi
...Bhoomi’s blood-splattering, bone-crunching vigour is as unwelcome as the rest of this ghastly movie.

Bhangra Paa Le
It’s a fairly ambitious if unoriginal premise let down by staid vision, spiritless writing, middling choreography and music.

Bhaiaji Superhittt
Such gigs have outlived their shelf life and do little more than humiliate our nostalgia for a shopworn action hero when a movie stinks as badly as Bhaiaji Superhit.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
...this indecision to project Bhaag Milkha Bhaag as either a) a man dealing with the painful memories of his childhood in partition era, b) the blossoming of a happy-go-lucky army man into a superstar athlete or c) why an individual doesn't want to visit Pakistan overlaps too often in this three-hour plus, flashback-within-flashback drama to ruin a potentially promising premise.

Beyond The Clouds
What works in this manufactured moral tale is Ishaan Khatter's unripe intensity.

Besharam
...is so unbelievably sloppy and senseless, not even the best actors in the business can redeem it no matter how hard they try.

Begum Jaan
In its preoccupation with drama, Begum Jaan neglects to reveal its soul. As a consequence, you feel nothing for the characters, their cause or fate.

Befikre
If Befikre's sole objective is to prove Aditya Chopra's not a prude, he only embarrasses himself by going overboard with two sexually explicit characters who might even be more fond of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge than he is.

Bank Chor
Even if one overlooks at the glaring loopholes in its tonal switch and professed slyness, it's frustrating how much Bank Chor delays its denouement because nobody cried wolf.

Banjo
...makes a winsome start but takes an awfully tedious route to achieve its happily ever after.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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