  • Mulk

    In times where rapid radicalisation of the majority religion is taking place, these are unpopular questions which will surely make some people uncomfortable.

    At a time when intolerance is at an all time high, we need more such efforts to remind us of the common humanity that binds us. Kudos to director Aijaz Khan for his all heart endeavour.

    It’s rare to see a layered film. It’s rare to see a film where everything falls into place. It’s rarer still where actors leave their stardom behind and behave like normal people, have normal conversations, have normal reactions, normal emotions.

    ...is definitely a step in right direction for Indian cinema. Let’s hope it paves the way for more story-centric films in future.

  • Sanju

    It’s a reexamination of the life of one of our most controversial film stars and Rajkumar Hirani has made every episode seem as real as it could get. But the treatment is such that you don’t end up feeling like you’ve watched a news documentary. Humour is both Hirani’s sword and shield and he has used it well.

  • Raazi

    ...it's one of the most fiercely patriotic films you'll ever see. That a female star holds centre stage makes for a welcome change. Alia Bhatt’s histrionics alone are worth the price of the ticket.

  • Panga

    It makes the right kind of noise about women empowerment without being preachy. And it's a whole lot of fun besides.

  • Article 15

    Watch the film for its riveting performances and its underlying message that even after 70 years as a free country, we’re still shackled to the chains of caste.

  • Panipat

    Watch the film for its opulence, it's well-choreographed fight scenes, as well as a colourful lesson in history.

  • Andhadhun

    Watch Andhadhun for it’s zig zag storyline and spot on acting by the entire cast. It's one of those mysteries which you'll like to go back to despite knowing the ending...

  • Badla

    ...is a true-blue mystery thriller alright. Bollywood directors don't much attempt the genre and it's high time they did so...

  • Jawaani Jaaneman

    ...the well-acted and well-crafted Jawaani Jaaneman is a light-hearted treatise on owning up to life’s responsibilities. This frothy comedy is total paisa vasool indeed.

  • Laila Majnu

    ...isn’t your typical Bollywood romance. It’s not a feel-good story with a happily-ever-after ending but is something that will shake you up emotionally for all the right reasons...

  • Karwaan

  • Mumbai Saga

    ...watch the movie if you’re in the mood for some pulpy, ’80s kind of movies, which were full of over-the-top characters and happenings but were good, clean fun nevertheless.

  • Manikarnika

    Kangana looks to the manor born playing Laxmibai. She channels the spirit of the warrior queen and is her fierce best in war scenes and also manages to give us the glimpse of the icon's soft side.
