Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
Karan Johar has penned an ode to friendship. Like most of his films, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil too has everything superficial that is required to take his film ahead.

Azhar
Tony D'Souza's fictionalisation of Azharuddin's life works in most parts, but comes out as a deeply eulogising exercise.

Baar Baar Dekho
Debutant director Nitya Mehra attempts to make a 'high-concept' love story, only to fall light years short of what the film could have been.

Babumoshai Bandookbaaz
...feels long and stretched. The rustic landscapes of Uttar Pradesh are captured well. The songs hinder the pace of the film, which any which way is pretty slow for all its activity.

Bajirao Mastani
Bhansali takes a leaf out of history, and crafts it into an exquisite tale. And all the participants in this orchestra are in tune with the conductor, despite the occasional out-of-note keys.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
...works for both a Salman fan and a non-fan. The film is essentially make-believe, but you want to believe.

Befikre
...is best enjoyed when you go in without any expectations at all. The film is not boring. And that's what makes it a decent one-time watch.

Bharat
...has its own share of problems, beginning with the near-three-hour runtime. But when people wait a year for a Salman Khan Eid release, can you really blame the superstar for giving his fans their larger-than-life hero in an out-and-out entertainer, replete with song and dance?

Brothers
Watch Brothers for the kicks, punches, grappling, chocking and the un-understandable MMA jargon.

Daddy
Watch this gangster drama for Arjun Rampal's heartfelt performance. He breathes as Arun Gawli in Daddy. But don't go into the theatre expecting to learn anything eye-opening about the Mumbai underworld. You will come back disappointed.

Dangal
Yes, Dangal is a crowd-pleaser. But it also has stellar performances and an engaging story-telling.

Dear Zindagi
The light-hearted dialogues and scenes are the high points of the film. But they too stop working after a point. At near-2.5 hours, Dear Zindagi feels too stretched.

...despite its decent-enough story, doesn't quite make a mark on the mind. The film is a crowd-pleaser...

Do Lafzon Ki Kahani

Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga
It is an important film for the times we live in. It will not be a blockbuster. But it might just make you change the way you look at love. If you choose to let your 'dil' take precedence over your 'dimaag'.

Ek Paheli Leela
As far as the story is concerned, Ek Paheli Leela gasps and pants, a la its lead heroine, and is unable to do much to the viewer.

Fan
Maneesh Sharma helps dust that Shah Rukh out from under the debris of the last few years. And Khan puts his best foot forward for his fans.

Fanney Khan
Filmmaker Atul Manjrekar doesn't seem to be able to look beyond just his lead actor. Fanney Khan is an Anil Kapoor film. That is its biggest strength and weakness.

Fitoor
...for all its spellbinding beauty, fumbles bad. The story meanders and loses way in between, and there seems a certain urgency in tying all the loose ends.

Force 2
The narrative is kept straight throughout, sans any convolutions as such. Kudos to writers Parveez Sheikh and Jasmeet K Reen for that. Force 2 has some well-choreographed action sequences with guns blazing in full glory

Gabbar Is Back
Watch it if you want to re-see Akshay Kumar's superhuman antics, which he's pretty much mastered by now - Rowdy Rathore, Boss, Khiladi 786, ad nauseam, ad infinitum.

Guddu Rangeela
...works in parts. Disjointed fragments of the film stand out instead of the whole story.

Gully Boy
...suffers from a slow pace. The film takes its own sweet time to establish the story. And when it does, there is too little to bask in the glory of. The film ends on an abrupt note. It catapults its underdog to the big stage but doesn't let the viewer soak it in. After investing 2 hours and 35 minutes in the film, you feel a little cheated.

Hate Story 3
...is one of those films that make you wonder exactly what you want to do after watching it. Laugh, cry, tear your hair out.

Housefull 3
The charm of Housefull 3, whatever little that is, lies in its mindless comedy.
