  • Dangal

    It is a wonderful telling of a true story that is poignant and inspiring as well as a reflection of the state of sports in the country.

  • Mukti Bhawan

    Watch this life affirming film about death because the cast is great, the humor is omnipresent and you will come away with your heart in your hand and tears in your eyes.

    ...is a powerful film that pushes us into a dark cruel world. When we emerge, shocked by the violence, you realise that you are equally primitive when you want to clap after the last gun is fired. The film has been shot beautifully and supported by fantastic performances.

  • Manto

    This film neatly weaves the stories he wrote into the life he lived and leave us wondering: is he the better storyteller or is God? Not commercial at all, but what a brilliant cinematic experience.

  • Kabir Singh

    The misogyny is very difficult to swallow for 174 minutes. But the acting and the relationships between the characters make this film a decent watch.

  • Article 15

    The film tackles the tensions well, has shades of 'Mulk' (made by the same filmmaker) but the predictability of a cop's dilemma - to go by the rule book or instinct - remains the same.

  • Aladin

    The special effects are good but you’ve seen better. If anything, Aladin makes a case for better scripts in our movies.

    ...is too long, but great fun watch. Ranbir has great comic timing, and Katrina - even though she looks exhausted most of the times - makes for a great sidekick.

  • Haraamkhor

    The movie raises so many questions, it feels longer than the runtime of one hour and fifty minutes. But not in a bad way at all. In fact, Manoj Bajpayee is so good, you should watch the movie just for him.

  • Andhadhun

    It's fun. It's different. It's dark as dark can get. And the performances are all ace. But you begin to say, 'Oh no, not another twist!' in the meandering second half. The end? Worth waiting for.

  • Simmba

    Ranveer Singh crackles in the title role of Simmba and wins us over in this simple tale of bad cop turning into gold. Eminently watchable!

    It's a welcome turn for Shah Rukh into an action hero and a great platform for the ever cool Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
