Mirza Juuliet
Some love stories are written in heaven, but this one promises to make you endure the flames of hell.

Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana
But it’s not just the plot, even the execution is below average and the cinematography leaves much to be desired.

Mukti Bhawan
Those hopeful for a rib-tickling comedy will be disappointed. This one is sharp, subtle and subliminally draws humour from misery.

Naam Shabana
...if you're up for a flick about a lady agent kicking serious behinds, this could float your boat. Even otherwise, it's worth a watch.

Poorna
While Poorna is dedicated to two people who happen to be the maker's "auricles and ventricles", it ironically lacks just that — heart.

Anaarkali Of Aarah
Writer-director Avinash Das deserves credit for drafting visuals that build tension and keep one consistently worried for the characters on screen.

Phillauri
This may manage to capture the imagination of tweens and under. Also, if patience is a virtue you pride on, the pace of this film will put you through a grueling test.

Aagaya Hero
It is upsetting to see Govinda here. With an enviable filmography, one wants to remember him as the ‘Number 1’ star whose memorable one-liners and dance numbers can’t be replicated by any contemporary actor.

Machine
With a filmography jam-packed with adaptations, why director duo Abbas-Mustan lose the plot here, is perhaps because there was no source material to go back to. If there was, it was surely not worthy of a remake.

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.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
...treading the fine line between preachy and peachy, this one keeps you intermittently entertained and interested in the proceedings, even while the shallow attempt at female empowerment seems a bit jaded.

Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai
Even if you have an appetite for saas bahu sagas, the grade of chest beating this one endorses would be inappropriate if not fatal for your brain cells.

Commando 2
...this recipe for disproportionate collateral damage trails along predictably, has a dozen loopholes in the plot and folds up with a few revelations and fewer thrills.

Irada
...the film has a noble irada. But the laboured lecture that it ends up becoming ensures the message is spelt out repeatedly until it becomes a tiresome affair.

Running Shaadi
...this one had potential for a crackling comedy. But it fails to capitalise on the quirks as it is too consumed by the basic premise and dives right into the pitfalls.

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.

Hind Ka NaPak Ko Jawab – MSG The Lionheart 2

Jolly LLB 2
Director Subhash Kapoor does well in keeping the audience glued to the screen and keeps the melodrama in check.

Raees
SRK’s ardent fans have endured the actor’s terrible film choices for long. It’s about time they wake up and bite into the red chilly.

Coffee With D
A supposed comic satire that hopes to mock the state of Indian news channels, this one manages little beyond lewd humour and tacky production values.

Ok Jaanu
Retelling a story in another language means being sensitive to the nuances of the recipient language as not everything will translate precisely, something that wasn't taken into account here.

Haraamkhor
...may not be a film that sets a cinematic benchmark but it is an important one as it dares to explore a forbidden subject, without condemning or legitimising it.

Wajah Tum Ho
The wajah for signing up for this one may differ for each, but the sazaa will be doled out indiscriminately.

Befikre
For an Aditya Chopra film, this one is disappointing. The director, credited for epic romances, seems to be too consumed by his exploration of contemporary relationships, to be bothered to construct a story worth telling.

Moh Maya Money
A mystery this is not as the film follows the inevitable. But how it wraps up may not be anticipated and is worth a watch.

Dear Zindagi
This one is a mood film. No surprises, no revelations mid-way, but if you have a mushy-minded mate, this would make for quite a date.

Tum Bin 2
If you're going through a rough patch in your relationship, opt for this one. It will convince you that you're better off by yourself.

Force 2
While director Abhinay Deo sticks to the tropes, the film goes south in its reveal, which barely lives up to the buildup.
