Budhia Singh
...he director’s inclination to present young Budhia Singh (Mayur Patole) more as a victim than a hero, turns this movie into a reasonably good watch.

Brothers
With its overworked plot devices, this slugfest has neither drama nor depth to offer.

Bombay Velvet
In trying so hard to achieve a snazzy feel, this film only comes across as phoney.

Bombairiya
The script of this film is no different. It throws up a lofty ideal and then quickly buries it in the absurdly meandering plot of its narrative.

Bol Bachchan
If you lower your taste several notches, you might find this slapstick film funny.

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

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

Bhoothnath Returns
Bachchan and the kid pull off some funny scenes, but then it gets all preachy on us.

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.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Farhan Akhtar offers the performance of a lifetime in a film that moves one to tears.

Bewakoofiyaan
An affable romantic comedy that slips out of your mind minutes after you leave the hall.

Besharam
...ends up looking like a big budget ‘home movie’ that an audience may be reluctant to take seriously as entertainment.

Begum Jaan
...is a disappointingly loud and hectoring film, with few scenes that allow the cast to be nuanced in the portrayal of their characters.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.
