  • Krrish 3

    ...shows no signs of heightened or indeed, any brain activity. This is a big dumb movie without the trashy thrills that we sometimes get from big dumb movies.

  • Shahid

    Shahid isn’t a polemic but – in the tradition of our cinema – a deeply humanistic drama. The film makes us think, but more often, it makes us feel.

  • Boss

    Akshay Kumar does what he can to keep things afloat, taking care of the action and the drama and the comedy, but unless you’re Amitabh Bachchan, these one-man circus shows are never a good idea.

  • Phata Poster Nikhla Hero

    We really only care about the laughs. But what Santoshi’s making aren’t just comedies. They’re reverential homage. They’re tongue-in-cheek throwback. They’re a love letter to the movies. They’re utterly one-of-a-kind.

  • Zanjeer

    The most frustrating aspect of this Zanjeer is the cynicism on display, as if the audience would show up just because lines like “Yeh police station hai, tere baap ka ghar nahin” are reproduced.

  • Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara

    The directors from the Mahesh Bhatt stable know their way around the darker side of desire and they know how to shape characters that are real yet just this side of larger-than-life. Other filmmakers venturing into these waters come off as posers...

  • Lootera

    ...while The Last Leaf, with its daft romanticism in the end, is better imagined than seen on screen, where the literalness of the images makes everything look foolish.

  • Ghanchakkar

    Raj Kumar Gupta is a tasteful filmmaker with an eye for colourful detail and the archly droll moment. But he cannot rein in the various dimensions of the story, and the film feels like it’s stuck in a loop.

  • Raanjhanaa

    I was left with mixed feelings, torn between admiration for what was being attempted and frustration that a film dealing with such serious subject matter had chosen to take an audience-friendly approach, showcasing its protagonist as someone you just can’t help loving.

  • Fukrey

    What’s missing is the sense that something is at stake. Rather, we see what’s at stake, we know it, but we don’t feel it as the film progresses.

  • Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

    ...my experience of it was similar to what I felt with Wake Up Sid – plenty of beautifully thought-out moments, lots to like, but it should have been so much more. Mukerji has this tendency to pick up heavy subjects and treat them lightly, which can be frustrating at times.

  • Gippi

    ...follows a tried-and-tested Hollywood template, and it doesn’t try to do too much. Its triumphs are minor (though not insignificant).
