Zero
They have to try and make sense AND they have to keep Shah Rukh Khan fans happy. In this tussle, logic is thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

Welcome Back
Leave the brains aside, and you have (at least) two hours of hardcore fun.

Wazir
The slickness, the edge-of-the-seat quality, the darkness. Wazir is replete with the chiaroscuro that is so Bejoy Nambiar.

Veerappan
...a hotchpotch of important incidents at best. At worst... let's not even go there.

Trapped
Director Vikramaditya Motwane gives Bollywood a fantastic albeit loopholed survival thriller in Trapped.

Tiger Zinda Hai
Don't analyse, don't nitpick, don't involve logic; and you are sorted. There are many seeti-worthy moments in Tiger Zinda Hai. The film plays to Salman's gallery to the T.

TE3N
It is at best a hotchpotch of a film that could have been so much better. Watch it though. For the brilliant acting.

Sui Dhaaga
...gives his viewers a classic story of struggle and persistence. The film culminates in a predictable climax, but that does not diminish the experience of soaking in Sui Dhaaga.

Singh Is Bliing
...a fun-filled affair, only if you choose to abandon your brain a light year away from the ticket windows and then enter the theatre.

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan
This is easily one of the best films that Bollywood has given us in 2017...

Saala Khadoos
It is largely due to the sheer brilliance of Madhavan and Ritika's work that Saala Khadoos is saved from falling into the abyss of predictability, which it dangerously teeters on the edge of.

Rocky Handsome
...a sumptuous feast for action-lovers. Watch it if you swear by punches and kicks and special, hitherto-unseen-in-Hindi-films martial arts.

Radhe
If you're a Salman Khan fan, you probably weren't. So we will end here. If you're not a Salman Khan fan and wouldn't mind two hours of mindless fun, you might give Radhe a try.

Race 3
There are full-fledged military wars in Cambodia because nothing less than a war can do justice to Salman's calibre. There is Salman Khan flying over Al Shifah because helicopters are so passe. There is Bhai launching bazookas because why undermine him with lesser weapons like AK-47. There are five extra actors in the film to support Salman because he needs to outshine all of them. Nothing is measured in Race 3. You ask for a shot of Salman, you're given a gallon of him. Deal with it however you want.

Raabta
...the biggest obstacle in the path of Raabta is the story. The subject is nothing that has not been done in Indian cinema earlier. The way the story is treated takes a toll on your patience.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
...the film works for both Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya's specific audience bases.

PM Narendra Modi
Maybe the makers of PM Narendra Modi the film should have taken their own recipe of the perfect tea a little seriously: add just a bit of sugar. Because when you have too much sugar, the tea is inedible.

Mr. X
The story is very predictable, but there aren't really those moments when you feel why the film doesn't end. Two for the film, and a half extra for Hashmi. Watch it for Emraan Hashmi...baaki ki chinta chhodo.

Mom
...scrutinises and lays bare the gaping holes in the law in this country. Its method of making the criminals meet their fate is over-dramatised and problematic. And unbelievable. But who can say no to a tale of a mother's revenge?
