Kalank
...it's such a mish mash of everything from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge to Casablanca to Lawaris to Bahubali to Camelot and everything in between and presented to you in a language that is so pretentious that it exhausts your patience.

Mulk
A delicate subject rather well tackled despite several rather convenient events in the film.

Kaabil
This revenge drama is perhaps Hrithik Roshan's best work, but hampered by a deathly slow pace.

Parched
Some moments are luminous, but you fail to understand why no one sits down to edit, edit, edit.

Tiger Zinda Hai
Salman Khan fans will love the action-packed corny cheese fest that makes for a decent if predictable watch.

Mukkabaaz
...puts its fist in many pies: boxing, romance, caste wars, defiance and revenge. Anurag Kashyap brings alive small town Uttar Pradesh brilliantly. But the fist through so many pies laced with too many songs becomes a feast too difficult to digest.

Bhavesh Joshi Superhero
The movie has some really refreshing parts, and others are so blatantly aped from Netflix shows and movies, they sort of cancel each other out.

Bharat
In fact it is so boring, you wonder if 'bhai' has forgotten his fans come to watch 'action' not wimpy comedy. We live through his many jobs and his devotion to dad. It's two and a half hours of being average. Fans want more.

Pari
This movie is slow to create the scary world, and even though you enjoy it, it takes too long to actually make you gasp for air. But what an awesome beginning for Anushka Sharma and Parambrata Chatterjee.

Badla
...the film is well adapted, but does feel like the plot is too convoluted, and it goes on and on, even though it lasts only for two hours.

M.S. Dhoni
...we want to know about his growth from getting selected in the team to becoming a captain. We get Bollywood style romance instead and then we begin to look at the time: 190 minutes. Cricket wins, but...

Game Over
Unfortunately, the premise is so lame and the killer is not scary at all, so the film falls flat on its face.

Force 2
The problem lies not with the paint by numbers thriller where the good guys are chasing the baddie. The problem lies with giving the villain too much screen time.

Tu Hai Mera Sunday
There are some glitches, and the title of the film is weird, but you forgive them simply because you want this life with friends. All in all, this movie is a delightful watch.

102 Not Out
...if you step away from the casting coup, the loud violins that accompany the moralising and the mawkish sentimentality could put you off. Should have been a Sunday afternoon theatrical production, with a family hug afterwards...

Photograph
The movie pretends to be arty but the patchy story that goes round and round will not work with the multiplex audience. This film should have gone into a streaming service rather than into the theaters.

You want to facepalm several times but it's all frothy and bubbly as Champagne...

Madaari
The movie is average because there is nothing subtle and instead of coming away with any hope for change, you come away as if you have been attacked by a sledgehammer for almost three hours.

Watch it, if only for the very last image of Amitabh Bachchan wiping away his tears.

Running Shaadi
The supporting cast is stellar, the situations and dialogue are funny, but the lead cast is pathetic.

Mom
...is a terribly long-drawn out film and even though horrendously cliched and predictable, but worth a watch for Sridevi, who is simply stupendous.

Naam Shabana

Thackeray
...is surprisingly well made. Nawazuddin Siddiqui makes for a great Thackeray, but the script sticks to the major events of his political life, leaving you wishing the film had shown him more human than hero of the masses.

Mona Darling
A good start to a horror film, but it slowly falls into cliches and is unable to recover. Bollywood has never made worthy to be slotted as 'Horror' but this one makes an effort.

III Smoking Barrels
Three stories from the North East part of India will try and help you understand the unique social and political place they hold in the universe. The third one though outshines the other two and should have been a standalone film. It's about elephant poachers. The first two stories then look trite and unwatchable.
