Mohenjo Daro
...the telling of the film is slow, long winded, pointless, and extraordinarily boring.

Uri
Though a watchable film, ‘URI: The Surgical Strike’, is too much a work of pre-election propaganda.

...does fall prey to a few rom-com cliches in the middle. But it perks up later on, and treats us to some delightfully well played and resonant scenes between the lead actors, sequences that bring a measure of proportionality to the film.

Ujda Chaman
Unlike a Bhandarkar movie, it has no memorable characters, no social commentary, and sadly, no big laughs either.

Blood Money
This film has all the elements of the Bhatt success formula, but in the wrong proportion.

Gunday
A movie that is rather too loud but still watchable—mostly for Priyanka Chopra’s sizzler of a turn.

Roy
Elegantly shot but utterly incoherent, this ambitious film is an exercise in obfuscation.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
With no redeeming sub-plots, supporting actors, catchy songs or memorable dialogues, this Rajshri film is a disgrace to its kind.

Chhapaak
...the emotional resonance, moments of poignancy, that you expect from a Meghna Gulzar film, are missing. What is left is an uneven movie.

Ragini MMS
...a canny low-budget film with little art. But it appeals to a large cross-section.

Lootera
The film is painfully slow, but Motwane still makes a fine cinematic experience of it.

Kochadaiiyaan
Rajinikanth does not come to life and the interweaving narrative is difficult to peg, leaving one in limbo.

Bharat
...is no masterpiece, but it is that rare thing, a film that bonds a family with a nation, and does it with affection. Any element of divisiveness is excluded. And that, in itself, is a good enough reason to watch it.

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.

Baaghi 3
A shameless copy of a Hollywood film with a few good performances to hold it up

If only the quality of John Abraham's performance matched the abs he had on display.

Welcome 2 Karachi
Riddled with clichés posing as jokes, this comedy of a dumb duo is hard to watch.

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

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns

Panga
...his is a well meaning movie that weaves the joys of domesticity with the sporting life, and turns both into a bit of a bore.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara
The sequel has lost the charm of the original film.

Dil Dhadakne Do
This film is flat and tiresome, with little beyond the banal fixations of the idle rich.

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

Karwaan
By the end of the film, you have enjoyed the scenery, laughed at Irrfan and his PJs, and ask the question on the tip of your tongue - what on earth were the makers of this movie smoking?

Game Over
...has a few genuinely scary scenes, but it is too schematic in structure and theme to work as a reflective thriller.

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.
