Tu Hai Mera Sunday
Director Milind Dhaimade balances the parallel stories in the film evenly and with an underlying vulnerability. He allows his characters to demonstrate their traits and only occasionally, becomes a little too preachy.

Trapped
Director Vikramaditya Motwane deserves credit, not just for delivering on the construct, but for opening doors to filmmakers who will now dare to pitch a concept without worrying about the traditional yardsticks that govern the commerce of cinema.

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.

Total Dhamaal
...is a one-time watch but only when it airs on TV on a Sunday afternoon when you can’t seem to find the remote to turn it off.

Toilet
A propaganda or not, this one's watchable only for Akshay Kumar and his ability to hold it together.

Titli seems to be made with the single-minded objective of leaving audiences with an unsettling feeling...

Tiger Zinda Hai
Director Ali Abbas Zafar who got Khan to ditch his effortless stardom and sink into the mind and body of a Haryanvi wrestler in Sultan, is sharp and effective in assembling this war thriller, while also packing in sufficient masala for the Indian palette.

Thugs Of Hindostan
For a film that leans so heavily on action, the stunts barely offer anything you’ve not seen before, and given that this falls in the fantasy genre, elevated expectations are met with mediocre execution. But then again, this one is helmed by director Vijay Krishna Acharya whose filmography includes visually compelling-yet-hollow films such as Tashan and Dhoom 3.

The Sky Is Pink
Director Shonali Bose is certain of what she wants to achieve through this story — depict a crushing yet inspiring story of a girl who has accepted that the odds aren’t in her favour and yet, hopes to get even with life.

The Legend of Michael Mishra
With aspirations of lampooning a lovestruck 'bhai' from Bihar, it sways from supposed comedy to unintentional tragedy and culminates in a headache from hell.

The Ghazi Attack
The film packs in enough near-collisions, engine failures and torpedo evasions to keep you excited through most of the 125 minutes that make up its runtime.

The Fakir Of Venice
...surely has an intriguing title that may trigger questions such as how precisely did the ascetic find himself in the city of canals, to begin with. But once these doubts are clarified, there’s little to inspire one to stay glued to one’s seat.

The Dark Side Of Life: Mumbai City
...the Madhur Bhandarkar-style of dumbing down the proceedings and the trivial issues that result in catastrophic reactions render this one as an unbearable watch.

The Accidental Prime Minister
As political biopics go, this one straddles somewhere between deliberate hagiography and pointed propaganda.

Thappad
...is an essential and educational watch for a society which deserves a tight, resounding one on the cheek for dismissing such acts as ‘one-off episodes’, incapable of having life-altering ramifications.

Thackeray
There’s a thin yet distinct line between mimicking and articulating an impression. Siddiqui manages to capture the cartoonist-turned-politician’s tone and spirit but retains his own interpretation of Thackeray.

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

Tera Intezaar
Sometimes, films are made without a recognisable motive. Did the producer want a selfie with Sunny Leone or Arbaaz Khan to inaugurate a jewellery store? We'll never know. But surely, the story and concept of this film were an afterthought which never got addressed in the bargain.

Talvar
...writer Vishal Bharadwaj deserves credit for penning a story that engages, presents multiple perspectives and provides just the right amount of distractions, without straying focus away from the core story.

Super 30
...delivers by excessively leaning on Hindi cinema’s oldest formula — detailing an underdog who strives to rise above his circumstances and even helps those less fortunate achieve ultimate glory.

Sunshine Music Tours and Travels
Even as an investment if not a creative piece of work, this one's lousy. A moment of silence for those who've already booked their tickets.

He (Ali Abbas Zafar) builds the muscled monolith's narrative effectively to garner empathy for his turbulent journey.

Student Of The Year 2
...Malhotra plays it on the back-foot, hoping to crack it with a formulaic plot and clichéd characters that barely go beyond the call of duty. Perhaps, it’s time for the makers to return to film school?

Street Dancer 3D
A true test for a dance movie is checking if it holds its own minus the groovy numbers. And in this case, what’s left if you remove the electric dance sequences, is an excuse for a story and some exasperating performances.

Stree
A film like this required a steady hand to carefully balance the chills and thrills along with the outlandish one-liners, ensuring neither is watered-down by the other.
