Ugly
It may be all things dark and forbidding this festive season, but it is, with flaws and all, one of the best films you'll watch this year.

Manjhi
It makes you proud that such Indian lived among us and makes a compelling case against Indian politicians and the bureaucracy.

Happy Ending
If only Raj-DK had kept it as short,simple and precise, this would be recommended as a two-time watch. In its current avatar, one should be more than enough.

For Real
While the film has its flaws, it's worth the watch only because of the unexpected climax.

Robot
This movie deserves full marks simply for perfectly casting the ever-dependable Rajni and making the most of the VFX at its disposal.

Akira
While Murugadoss leaves a lot to be desired, it is a satisfying one-time watch for an action-junkie.

Luv Ka The End
If you're young and not too nitpicky, this is worth your while. It's a decent watch if you can get past its inspirations.

Drishyam
This film isn't so much a whodunnit as much as it is a why- and how-dunnit. But it takes too much time building a convincing case of it.

Irada
Films with social causes at its core work, but only if they manage to resonate with you in some way. This one doesn’t, at least not to the degree you’d like it to.

Wazir
Worth one visit for sure for AB Sr's superlative acting and some ceetee-worthy dialogue. As a thrilling drama, it has some bite, but as a suspenseful tale, it lacks teeth.

Traffic
The film has its heart in the right place, but the soul isn't along for the trip.

Dharam Sankat Mein
If this film has uncomfortable moments, it's the preachy parts. The film gets lost somewhere in the middle around some unwanted melodrama.

Tum Bin 2
The first half kinda builds you up while the meandering second half brings you down with its inordinate length.

Striker
This one doesn't know where it's headed and what it wants to do and simply goes with the flow. Not always the best plan.

Rakht Charitra 2
Watch this one purely to marvel at how self-obsession and the absence of a script can gut perfectly good performances.

7 Khoon Maaf
...an otherwise exciting director riddles this textbook script with meandering subplots and a very weak ending.

Yeh Faasley
Too self-indulgent, Yeh Faasley only serves to widen the distance between you, the viewer and the object of attention, the film itself.

Ramayana
The animation is not world-class as yet but better than most we've seen this year. We're getting there! A valiant, though seemingly rushed, effort.

Aladin
Aladin excels in the SFX department, setting a benchmark for others to follow, but as an engaging fairy tale that weaves magic and mystery it fails on every front.
