Finding Fanny
With its truthful depiction of individual foibles and local Goan charm, this film is a winner.

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

Rarely, if ever, as in this epic, has Hindi cinema transported you to a world that is real and surreal at the same time.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
The humour in this film is anything but cerebral, but some of the stunts are genuinely funny.

Fugly
A film that underlines the ugliness of Delhi’s underbelly, but fails to make a cinematic impact.

Kabir Singh
Gender prejudice or ideological persuasion notwithstanding, it is undeniable that the dialogue written for Shahid, and the skill with which he projects it on screen, makes this movie very watchable.

There is no doubting Sanjay Leela Bhansali's superb sense of aesthetics, but he reduces the issue of euthansia to a TV show debate.

Overstretched, boring and a little too pretentious, this Imtiaz Ali film is a letdown.

So in spite of its beauty, this is a morbid film which depresses, to a much greater degree than it enlightens.

A predictable triangle, you would think. But then a few things are said, and a few scenes elaborated, in ways so startling, so moving and so well acted, that set pieces dissolve.

So we applaud the film for its good intentions. But as drama, the movie is written and designed too predictably.

Dedh Ishqiya
...makes excellent use of an old genre in Hindi cinema. The ‘muslim social’ was dead and buried by the early 90s, but it is suddenly and most entertainingly revived here...
