  • Veere Di Wedding

    Director Shashanka Ghosh has managed to develop the right chemistry between his four leads and that’s the film’s greatest strength -- that beneath all the cuss words and sex jokes you get a whiff of genuine friendship.

  • Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi

    The film has a cracking first half which just zooms by. The second half lags a bit but only because the director is trying to tie all the strands together. But overall, the impact doesn't waver and that's what counts in the long run...

  • Simmba

    ...the film is as massy as they come. The punch dialogue, slow motion action, quirky dance moves -- it's all there and more. And Ranveer takes to this new avatar like fish to water.

  • 102 Not Out

    Both Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor are on equal footing in the film.  Apart from showcasing genuine chemistry in their scenes together, each gets a chance to bring to light individual brilliance.

  • Judgemental Hai Kya

    The film looks like something out of French New Wave cinema in most parts but segues into commercial Hindi cinema territory as well. Imagine Polanski's Repulsion (1965) given a Manmohan Desai treatment.

  • Sonchiriya

    ...offers a potent blend of dacoit drama, karmic lesson and caste politics with some realistic action thrown in for good measure. The performances alone are worth the price of the ticket.

  • Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3

    ...Dhulia has made an entertaining film which thrives because of the efforts of its main cast. It's an earthy saga, where the boundaries between good and evil are almost nonexistent and hence might not prove to be everyone's cup of tea...

  • 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...

  • 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.
