Gully Boy
...Akhtar grabs our hand and walks us through a world that few of us know, even though it exists in Mumbai and other parts of India.
And now we are blessed to have witnessed that world, breathed its smells and most importantly heard its sounds.

Befikre
...much of Befikre is loaded with a carefree spirit. It is joyful and it will make you smile.

Island City
...is quite unlike any recent Hindi film. The complex narratives, laced with humour and satire, keep us enthralled while also presenting the deeper issues of life.

Raman Raghav 2.0
There is real good cinema in that scene towards the end of the film, and also a reminder that Kashyap has a lot of talent. He just needs to stop making films that are very similar.

Aarakshan
I wish people would see Aarakshan and instead object to Jha's vision, the execution of his muddled script, which half way through forgets its purpose, and varying degrees of unimpressive performances.

Dhobi Ghat
A rare Indian film which has the feel of European and other Asian cinemas, and yet is firmly grounded in the realities of Mumbai.

Tees Maar Khan
Every actor, every character -- the leads, cops, criminals, even the vast supporting cast and extras -- appear to be idiotic caricatures. The premise of the film -- although taken from After The Fox -- the writing, and dialogues emphasise and celebrate stupidity.

Aashayein
...works like many of Kukunoor's successful films -- Hyderabad Blues, Iqbal and Dor -- unique stories that start with good intentions, but eventually the treatments amount to nothing spectacular.

Raavan
...an overwhelming film. At times a tad bit overproduced, the film is an onslaught of brilliant use of technology on the viewer's senses -- stunning cinematography, the fluidity of the camera, quick edits, loud soaring music, with the actors thrown into wild nature.
