  • Mubarakan

    ...is so loud, you need ear muffs but quite funny because there is a natural chemistry between the actors Anil Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Ratna Pathak Shah and Pavan Malhotra.

  • Laila Majnu

    The gal is meh, so the magic of instant love seems to be missing. But the writing is brilliant and the lad is too. Looks like Imtiaz Ali has got his mojo back.

  • Neerja

    The film is beautifully made and keeps the drama alive in the first half and then loses steam in the second half and ends on a high emotional note.

  • Daddy

    ...the film gives us a great insight into the gangs that ruled Bombay during the seventies and eighties. A decent watch.

  • Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota

    A homage to everything we grew up with: kung fu flicks, Bollywood revenge dramas, love stories, reality shows and yes, superhero movies. You will have a smile pasted on your face to watch this very different offering...

  • Jugni

    The beginning of the movie, the music, the hero's charming presence, the funny appealing dialog keeps you so happy, you sort of believe that the movie is going to be better than fabulous. But the predictable turns the story takes throw the whole movie down a cliff and it just crashes.

  • Bareilly Ki Barfi

    Director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari beautifully captures the small town flavour in Bareilly Ki Barfi but the problem with this film, is that the hero fails to endear us to him. We have no logical reason to want to root for him.

  • Malaal

    Meezaan and Sharmin Segal offer the same ole love story, a mish mash of every love story since Bollywood began making romances. The film is executed so poorly, you wonder why it is under the Bhansali banner.

  • Raid

    The dialog is tight, the good guys are as smart as the bad guys are clever, the danger seems real and it's money well spent when you watch this film. If only the thrill of watching money tumbling out of walls was not marred by silly songs and a whiny wife.

  • Airlift

    Watch this movie, because a story of a rescue of this scale needs to be told. Watch this movie because we need more everyday hero tales...

  • Stree

    ...the film swings from fun to tedious and then piques your interest in the horror and lets it fizzle out, making the whole experience like finding that your expensive coffee is only froth and no brew.

  • Family Of Thakurganj

    A veritable smorgasbord of character actors who are individually good and often are all crammed together in a hotch-potch revenge and double cross drama where the motives are so blurred that you don't care.

  • Ok Jaanu

    You get so tired of the dialog you wonder why the Tamil version directed by Mani Ratnam was not such a bore to watch. Then you realise that in staying true to the original, there are pauses and silences induced because Dulquer Salman and Nithya Menen have far better screen presence and acting chops than Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor.

  • Pink

    Two hours and sixteen minutes long moral science lessons on molestation of women and the attitude society still nurtures. You learn nothing new, you haven't seen anything different, you have heard it all before.

  • Rustom

    ...should have been a brilliant courtroom drama, but ends up being ridiculous, with the director opting for cheap laughs.
