  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Judwaa 2

    ...is louder and bigger and bolder and Varun Dhawan may not be Salman Khan, but he holds his own, both as Prem and Raja. Fun watch for the younger generation.

  • Judgemental Hai Kya

    They treat the 'mental' part of the title as if they meant 'demented' instead. The result is that people laugh inappropriately at her 'madness', and your popcorn loses its pop because the film is tiresome.

  • Jagga Jasoos

    ...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.

  • Jab Harry Met Sejal

    The plot of Jab Harry Met Sejal is just like the ring, the protagonists are searching for - lost. And not even Shah Rukh Khan can save this pointless jaunt through Europe.

  • Ittefaq

    If the lead actors: Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha weren't so passionless in trying hard to be mysterious, this film could have been less painful to watch.

  • Island City

    Three stories, tenuously tied in a presentation that is so amateurish, you wonder why NFDC would back this film school type story-telling.

  • Irada

    The film rapidly deteriorates when the stars begin to showboat and then goes on to fall down in a pile of shambles.

  • 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.

  • Housefull 3

    ...you are so deadened by the unfunny situational comedy unfolding in front that you just wait it out, let the movie die its slow painful death.

  • Hichki

    The film checks all the boxes of stereotypes and yet only a couple of scenes manage to touch you. It's neither Dangerous Minds, nor is it To Sir With Love. Rani Mukherji needed a stronger, smarter script.

  • Haseena Parkar

    It's brave of a really young actor Shraddha Kapoor to want to play Marlon Brando in The Godfather. And full marks for effort. But Haseena Parkar is a poorly researched film, which just makes you laugh at the end of it all.
