2.0
This movie gives you a run for your money, but eventually falls short in holding on to its narrative; which, when it started, promised a lot more bang for your buck.

7 Khoon Maaf
...ends up as a hothouse of exotic spouses with names scratched off the catalogue at metronomic intervals.

7 Khoon Maaf
A shameless copy of a Hollywood film with a few good performances to hold it up

7 Khoon Maaf
Since the movie looks to create consent, it deliberately avoids litigious or divisive aspects of the issue.

7 Khoon Maaf
A tale about fighting cancer? Nearly mistook it for a homage to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
A pointless sequel that doesn’t even spotlight its showpiece, the dancing of Prabhu Deva.

Agneepath
This movie marks a return to the worst genre of Hindi cinema, vengeance drama.

Airlift
This is not an accurate portrayal of the Kuwait evacuation, but worth a watch all the same.

Aiyyaa
Writer-director Sachin Kundalkar has no clue how to tie up the ends of the mad film he’s made.

Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aaata Hai?
...promises much, but lives up to its covenant feebly.

Aligarh
A touching portrayal of sexuality beyond straitjacketed labels, this film is a complete triumph.

Andhadhun
...a thriller with not a single scary moment. ‘Andhadhun’ is wonderfully mounted, nicely cast and beautifully art directed, but not once do you grip your seat, sit back in horror, or cover your eyes.

Angrezi Medium
It has a few short and funny scenes, interrupted by long and meandering conversations that do not appear to lead anywhere. This lack of overall balance in the narrative, affects your viewing concentration, and you cannot put your finger on the genre on display.

Azhar
...the film is so fondly sentimental about Azhar that it stretches our credulity.

B.A. Pass
So despite a fairly compact 95 minutes, the movie has a sense of incompleteness, with the inner life of the most interesting character ignored.

Baaghi 2
...the film diverts us from the totally unconvincing dialogue delivery style of Tiger. It also establishes a right leaning ideological position that always works well with an action movie audience.

Baaghi 3
Tiger has a sculpted and finely chiselled torso that turns his action sequences into a dance form. But when the content in the script becomes slimmer, and, inversely, the propaganda element in the movie increases, the hero begins to look like an empty vessel.

Baar Baar Dekho
For no fault of the actors, this film ends up with zero entertainment value.

Baby
In spite of some well executed sequences, this thriller fails to rise above received ideas on Islam.

Badlapur
An intelligent narrative style with fine wholesome performances makes this film a great watch.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
The movie positions itself in popular culture as advocating the freedom of a woman to choose career over marriage. However, broken down into its individual segments, what we get is a virtual endorsement of harassment as a legitimate tool of persuasion.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
An extraordinarily eloquent film that has Salman Khan playing a worthy role instead of burnishing his brand image as an action hero.

Bala
...is an entertaining film. But ultimately, it is an unconvincing presentation on the tribulation of early hair loss.

Band Baaja Baaraat
...gets the sound of go-getting Dilli pitch-perfect but slips up on the romance front.

Banjo
...is a sincere and well intentioned film that has some watchable sequences, but fails eventually, as the sum of its parts just don't add up.
