3 Idiots
Some movies leave you gobsmacked with their sweetness. Others silence you with their spareness. Can a movie do both? Sometimes. Stanley ka Dabba is one of those times.

Rocket Singh
...not one that says "look at me, I am making a statement to change the world". But a quiet and subtle appreciation of the life we've been given and what we can do with it.

Love Sex Aur Dhokha
It's partly hilarious, mostly sad, yes quite misogynistic but also very unusual.

Love Sex Aur Dhokha
Watch it and weep. And marvel at an extraordinary story told without veering into the maudlin. It's a tightly controlled drama without any melodrama.

Agneepath
Melodramatic, choir-inducing sentiment, ecstatic. Agneepath is that rare mainstream movie that is written well.

Agneepath
Some films rip your heart out and keep it on the table as it lies beating. You watch in frozen fascination, knowing it will eventually stop.

Some directors use sledgehammers to make their point. Others use a scalpel. Well, welcome the scalpel.

Kahaani
Welcome back Sujoy Ghosh. We thought you were a one film wonder and had consigned you to oblivion after the disaster of Aladin. But Kahaani, a fast, fun, fearless thriller has made up for it.

My Name is Khan
Is this a movie one should watch? Yes, I think so. Not because of its message, that anyone with a pure heart can achieve what he wants, even if it is to meet the President of America, but because of Shah Rukh.

My Name is Khan
...the film is gripping, and while it may be trying too hard to be true to every complex reality of Kashmir, its heart is big. And more importantly in the right place.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
The film looks like a rom com, smells like a rom com, behaves like a rom com. Fortunately, it's not.

It's like sitting by the river at night, watching the sun set. Watch it and weep.

The Japanese Wife
This is film-making not so much as noble passion but as grand indulgence, not so much as a marathon magic show but as an event to be managed. No effort is spared.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
The film is overwritten, over acted, overcharged but also super fun.
