Son Of Sardaar
It’s so unfunny, it’ll put you to sleep It’s so shallow, it’ll make you weep.

...is let down by its execution with little attention to detail and drags in places.

Singham
This is supposed to be a masala film. But correct me if am wrong, the oregano must go on the pizza or are you going to snort it straight from the sachet?

Singh Saab The Great
This would've been a wonderful story if it had been more subtly told.Singh Saab the Great, however as you might imagine, is anything but.

Shuttlecock Boys
A film that seems essentially a filmmaking exercise manages a bonus release. You can salute the spirit and wish them the best for the future, but you can't help but come away from the film a little disappointed.

Shuddh Desi Romance
It's light, it's unconventional, it's still Bollywood, and it breaks the fourth wall in more ways than one. Ignore the hiccups, and there's no reason you won't enjoy it.

Shortcut Romeo
The film tries so hard to be slick, you wonder that if it was shot in a realistic manner with real characters, it'd might have worked. Instead the movie is replete with pathetic production values.

Shor In The City
Three stories, eleven days, myriad layers, believable characters, fine performances, spirited direction, taut script, momentary explosions of originality.

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
...is far from the tight, flawless film it could've been.

Shanghai
...Dibakar Banerjee has crafted this film with the kind of precision and invention that - should Shanghai be a commercial success - can change the course of cinema in India.

Shaitan
For its visual style, sheer energy, and the trip that it is, Shaitan is recommended viewing.

Shahid
It goes well beyond being a fierce biopic, a purposeful indie, or just a riveting drama that's impossible to dislike.

Shagird
If only Shagird was a little more polished in all departments, it could very well claim to be the desi version of The Departed.

Shabri
Shabri is quite poignant with scenes oscillating between wordless calm and brutal action: aesthetic and accessible at the same time, even though this is often at the cost of pace.

Satyagraha
...solely documents and offers fleeting wisdom. It succeeds at highlighting the problem but fails at achieving poignancy.

Satya 2
RGV's hankering to stay distinctive remains. But the means have all but deserted him.

Satya 2
...a film with its heart in the right place (an extra half star for tis) and even though it doesn't quite cut it on a technical level, it is reasonably engaging cinema with soul.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns
Keeping much of the original’s spirit intact, even surpassing it in many ways.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster
...not necessarily a film for everyone. Neither will it blow you away in any way. Still, it is one more inclusion in the list of audience-specific new-age genre films and deserves your attention.

Sadda Adda
Should you watch Sadda Adda? Well if you're willing to endure 90 minutes of twaddle for 25 minutes of goodness, go right ahead.

Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga
...a laudable effort in the genre but has too many factors working against it.

R... Rajkumar
As a businessman, Prabhu Dheva has mastered the formula. But how long will the audience want to watch the same content - the same old fight and dance - repackaged over and over with different actors? Ask yourself.

Rush
Maybe it'd have worked four years ago but even the big resolution is old hat. Unless you're a die-hard Hashmi fan (how many millions again?), there's no rush to see this.

Rockstar
If you need one reason to watch Rockstar, RK it is. With his role, Ranbir Kapoor firmly establishes himself as one of Hindi cinema's finest. Ever.

Ready
When stars the size of Salman use such self-deprecating context-less humour, there is little chance of the audience not empathising.
