  • 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.

  • I

    Too long, too contrived but a good-looking leave-your-brains-at-home film.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
