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...

Pad Man
If you can endure the slow, unmoving first half, this film is socially relevant.

...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.

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

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.

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.

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.

...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.

It's a great attempt. But the film had a long way to go on script level before it became awesome.

Dear Zindagi
For two hours you put up with too shiny, too happy people holding hands and you're fed up with the hokey counseling sessions. The last half hour actually touches you but it is too little too late.

It's almost good, and then it isn't because you've read the story somewhere. It's an idea that's not new and yet, a decent effort. Would have been smarter move to put it straight to Netflix or Amazon.
