Raman Raghav 2.0
For director Anurag Kashyap, this film falls into a comfort zone that he thrives on with devilish delight.

Rough Book
...is tiringly slow, lazily written and offers no novel insight into the acute crisis that our educational system presently faces.

Udta Punjab
While the film wins for constructing jolting surprises, some of the performances are singularly unremarkable and the excessive and unnecessary violence is not exactly everyone's daily fix.

TE3N
...Dasgupta is committed in manipulating precisely what the audience notices, assumes and predicts from what plays out on the screen.

Housefull 3
...they only go on to prove that if laughter is the best medicine, this film will make you beg for euthanasia.

Veerappan
It's upsetting that Ram Gopal Varma fans have to put up with this. Even the very few and far between visual flourishes are merely reminders of an auteur that was.

Phobia
Director Pawan Kripalani manages to tightly pack in the thrills, with careful consideration of timing and audio-visual technique.

Waiting
The film deserves a watch for being one that doesn't try too hard and for its approach to an extreme situation.

Azhar
A problem with this film is that it won't agree well with ardent Azhar fans, given the slips in factual accuracy. And his detractors would argue against his engineered victim image in the film.

Buddha In A Traffic Jam
The issue with this film is not that it packs in too many issues. It's just that it has too many of its own.

Dear Dad
The problem with it is simple — not much happens. And what does, happens at a lethargic pace, which can be unnerving.

One Night Stand
Unlike the upbeat Meet Bros song in the film, Do peg maar aur bhool ja, this one will take much more to scrape off from memory.

Traffic
Organ donation is a noble cause that this film picks up to endorse. But the superficial focus on the humanitarian act only draws attention away from it.

Fan
If you're an SRK fan, you don't care for approval. But even if you aren't, this one's a thrilling watch.

Ki & Ka
When R Balki made his foray into Hindi films in 2007, he had an unadulterated approach to the medium. That vision seems to have, over time, become too formulaic and fails to garner more than half a chuckle.

Rocky Handsome
...a film so mindlessly gory that we even forget what triggered it all.

Kapoor & Sons
Director Shakun Batra has matured from a filmmaker solely capable of romcoms to one who can infuse depth into characters and script relationships in all its verity.

Tere Bin Laden Dead Or Alive
The film sets the premise and labours in detailing every sequence, but somehow it doesn't add up.

Aligarh
It's a film of many firsts. And given how most Hindi movies caricature homosexuals, this one is a reality check.

Neerja
If you've read about the real events that have inspired this film, you know how it will fold up. But even so, this one scores for managing to pack in a few surprises.

Ishq Forever
If you're keen on exploring parts of South Africa, off the B'wood map, this one's for you. But that's just one reason.

Sanam Teri Kasam
For the leads, Mawra Hocane and Harshvardhan Rane, this inglorious B'wood debut will be an impossible blot to erase.

Ghayal Once Again
...if you're a Sunny Deol fanboy, this one ticks all: lung-tearing screams and crushing punches.

Saala Khadoos
Kongara is conservative with her choices and consequently, the result is stereotypical.

Mastizaade
...this material is credited to Mushtaq Sheikh and Milap Zaveri — two people who should be fined for owning a pen.

Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3
...a series of juvenile jokes, mostly dated, fried in fresh batter, with the better ones given away in the trailer.
