  • Love Aaj Kal

    ...it's all done in such a haphazard manner that you tend to lose interest. Or rather, you don't invest emotionally in the characters.

  • 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...

  • Laal Kaptaan

    ...has superb production values, a nice background score, and doesn't disappoint in the acting department as well. Of only the narrative flowed at a faster pace, we would have had a cracker of a film indeed.

  • Khandaani Shafakhana

    Where the film stumbles majorly is in the screenplay and editing. There is a lack of coherency in both the departments that kind of drags the film down. The film has been made with its heart in the right place.

  • Kesari

    Akshay Kumar is verily the soul of the film. His bearing, his mannerisms are totally that of a professional soldier.

  • Kedarnath

    ...dazzles you with its scenic imagery and it's fresh pairing. But it's also a case of missed chances. Too less a time is spent on the large scale tragedy that engulfed the region. The human consequences of it, the emotional scars it left behind aren't touched upon at all.

  • Karwaan

    Watch the film for the fine acting by the entire ensemble cast. This comedy will surely tickle your funny bone and would make you reflect on life as well...

  • Kai Po Che!

    ...heart-warming tale about passion, friendship and forgiveness. It not only will entertain you, it might also strengthen your faith that good Hindi cinema isn’t dead yet.

  • Junglee

    ...is an action-packed adventure which also tells us that we share this planet with lots of different species, who have an equal right to it...

  • 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.

  • Jism - 2

    Going by the promos, we were hoping for India’s answer to Basic Instinct. What we got is something that provides lots of unintentional laughter and nothing more -- not even cheap thrills...

  • 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.

  • Jai Gangaajal

    It’s a pure masala entertainer with vigilante justice by the masses as its main course. It does try to say that it’s hard to control the fire when the mob grows on rampage.

  • Jabariya Jodi

    ...while Jabariya Jodi is saying all the right things, it falters in the execution. Better attention to detail would really have made a wealth of difference for the film.

  • Ishqeria

    There is a line in the film -- Sabko confuse karna band kar do. That was the director talking to herself but alas she didn’t listen to her own advice.

    The big bugbear for the film remains its run time of 3 hours and ten minutes. Hopefully, the technical wizardry will be enough to make the audience forgive this lapse …
