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.

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

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.

M.S. Dhoni
We want to see heroes on screen. We want to see victory on screen. And when it's got cricket and MS Dhoni as the subject, who cares about problems in a film.

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.

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

Do Lafzon Ki Kahani
...has nothing much to offer apart from Randeep Hooda and the MMA sequences.

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

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

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

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.

Ki & Ka
Balki sets out to demolish stereotypes, but in the process, ends up affirming them even more.

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.

Kapoor & Sons

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
