This film combines a delightful re-creation of old-world charm with emphatic performances.

...this a thinking, actors film with shades of grey that are brought out in a slow and absorbing way.

Pink
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.

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

English Vinglish
What is admirable in English Vinglish is the stoic refusal to compromise realistic treatment with melodrama or cliche.

Not A Love Story
The making of this film so soon after the Grover murder is as macabre as the killing itself.

Bullett Raja
Despite all this interesting sub-text, the film fails to grip you with its central narrative.

Despite nailing its sociocultural context, this mildly entertaining film is uneventful.

I Love NY
A dull romcom with endless banter on love and sex, this film is watchable only for Kangana’s act.

Madaari
...s a very predictable film, but is held together by some very touching moments brought about by Irrfan’s ability to establish a rapport with his co-actors...

Pataakha
A similar nation state in India, with room for a myriad political innuendos to co-exist, allows Bhardwaj a lot of freedom in his Shakespeare adaptations. Most importantly, there are full fledged plots to interpret, instead of half baked ones like in ‘Pataakha’. Plus, there are 34 more plays he can still work on.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
Caught between two stories, a kiddie cricket fantasy and an adult automobile romance, the film doesn’t work.

Main Tera Hero
Varun Dhawan has the comic chops, but the new sidekicks are not as fun as Kader Khan and Co.

Kalank
So this is a film with expensive, but ultimately poor, production values. It is a multi-star movie, with actors trapped into delivering theatrical lines that make their personas unrecognisable. This is hugely disappointing.

An appealing film, but the 'Kalam' angle seems a forced search for political significance.

OMG Oh My God!
Highly entertaining, this film is a refreshing demolition of India’s never-ending divinity.
