  • Newton

    ...is a stark, dark, witty and symbolic gem presenting the mockery of democracy observed in certain parts of India. Powered by unbeatable performances and constantly amusing humour.

  • Simran

    Hansal Mehta's direction is fine, the movie moves smoothly but is marred by a script that demands a better understanding of addiction and mood swings.

  • Lucknow Central

    On paper this looks like a thrilling musical but the glaring loopholes and lack of characterization make Lucknow Central an indigestible and unconvincing jail escape adventure.

  • Mr. Kabaadi

    No depth, layers and characterization, a mockery of talents and sheer audacity in cashing on the late legendary actor Om Puri in a film in which he is not playing the lead is an unpardonable offence.

  • Sameer

    Despite having its flaws and its overwhelming reluctance to take any sides, Sameer still manages to be a tight, edge of the seat surprise in the end and that's the movie's biggest victory.

  • Daddy

    The sloppy writing that focuses on Gawli as a robin hood like any fictional Bollywood gangster fails to generate the interest as required...

  • Baadshaho

    Lacking in those seeti bajao, paisa vasool moments, the movie is just a parade of buffoonery going nowhere and gasping for help amidst the blast and noise.

  • Shubh Mangal Saavdhan

    ...in spite of its flaws manages its promise date of a rom com that offers something different, thanks to its quirky, bold, snappy and saucy fun powered by an all the way endearing Ayushmann & Bhumi.

  • Sniff

    Lack of subplot, and no proper characterization of supporting cast that includes father (Manmeet Singh) and grandma (Surekha Sikri) adds to the wounds.

  • Qaidi Band

    The most disappointing thing in Qaidi Band is the maker's refusal to try something edgy, considering its premise and the use of rock music. It's just an example of plain mediocrity and naive approach to filmmaking.

  • Toilet

    In spite of its constipated second half and sluggish approach, the movie has its witty, satirical moments, terrific performances that entertain to the core...

  • Indu Sarkar

    Call it push and pull of art and box office requirements or getting caged by your own belief and faith. The reviewer over here in his opinion has found the filmmaker influenced by his political belief which fails to give this political drama its required justice and much needed edge.

  • Raag Desh

    If you are interested in knowing an intriguing and probing chapter from India's freedom struggle and have the required patience then Raag Desh is your ticket

  • Lipstick Under My Burkha

    ...is not a routine weekend phenomenon we enjoy with our families, it's a rare occurrence on screen that demands debate, has its own voice and dares to say something important and relevant.

  • Jagga Jasoos

    ...is a missed opportunity in the end. This surprise musical fantasy solely rides on Ranbir Kapoor's infectious charm and those couple flashes of brilliance.

  • Mom

    ...is an important film for three reasons. 1) - Its testimony that Sridevi is one of the most accomplished actresses alive, 2) Ravi Udyawar is a filmmaker to look out for and last but not the least - it's a salute to motherhood and womanhood.

  • Tubelight

    The theology of Tubelight is vast like an ocean but Kabir Khan has so cloyingly handled the Yakeen (faith) factor that it turns boringly 'Yuck'in.

  • Bank Chor

    Its not that Bank Chor doesn't aim for a cinematic statement, it does, the maker has tried to make a comment on the cultural and other divides in this film but it's so juvenile that it hardly registers and ends up a mockery - a joke on itself.

  • Hanuman Da Damdaar

    ...is fine for the kids no doubt, only if innovations like the one used before the commencement of the film if carried in the movie, it could have been a rewarding experience for the adults as well.

  • Dobaara

    Powered by brilliant performance by Huma and Saqib, Dobaara gets an extra dose of chill thanks to their terrific chemistry and shifting of shades in their character that spins the surprise.
