Thank You
The public better like this flick. After all, crores get spent on such trash.

Tere Bin Laden
That a film can so convincingly make light of an unbearable tragedy is its astounding comic achievement.

Tell Me O Kkhuda
Extreme love for the progeny produces corruption in several societies. It produces some terribly inspired entertainment in India.

...never-ending hit and mess. It's one thing to repeatedly make 'nudge nudge wink wink' sort of ironic nod to films or 'filmies'. It's quite another to know nothing else.

Teen Thay Bhai
Sometimes, you wish filmmakers wrote their own reviews to enlighten us on exactly what they've made.

Teen Patti
...there is no math in the pedestrian ‘teen patti’ either. They’re merely Diwali card-games played on Dutch bravado and pointed bluff.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns
The authenticity in the writing (Himanshu Sharma) is perhaps the reason practically all the actors in the film leave a mark. The wit and repartee is absolutely top class.

Tanu Weds Manu
...it’s still not the rom-com you saw last weekend, and certainly not the one you’ve been watching for years. The difference? It’s still more real, and the nuances bear an inspired writer’s imagination.

Super 30
Suffice it to suggest that the script, treated with an arthouse touch, has a potential of an Oscar nomination (no less). But you already know, this is a 'Bollywood' event-entertainer, with an understandable mix of memoir and melodrama.

Sure this film is different then. Shouldn’t each be anyway? Worth it, all the way.

Stree
The filmmakers here, supremely strong on craft, pull it off swiftly though, landing most of the punches (including punch-lines) at the right place.

Stanley Ka Dabba
The realism gently, warmly sucks you in. You sit back, sometimes reminisce, mostly observe.

Speedy Singhs
Few funny lines apart, you sense some script-guru's spreadsheet (Syd Field's?) being directly turned into a generic screenplay.

Soundtrack
You can still tell a bunch of Bandroids trying hard. Something genuine, off-centre, Indian, original, and cutting image, will eventually emerge from efforts like these. Until then, I guess, we should just bear with these.

Soorma
With Soorma, Ali confidently gets to the centre, keeps his impulses under check, and plays it totally narrow, and fully straight. And, yes, he hits home, alright. This is possibly his best work yet.

Singham
Devgn walks to beats similar to Salman's Dabanng. He beats the crap out of ruffians outside a village theatre. He restores his woman's honour. Besotted, she chases him. Audiences think even more highly of the hero. He beats the crap some more.

Simmba
This only brings back strong memories of large single-screen cinemas - on the verge of extinction - with people on both cheap and super-expensive seats, sharing entertainment as a common, tribal experience. That's where you should go for this.

Shor In The City
What you do notice about this quintessentially metropolis movie is its sheer spunk, verve and adorably absurd humour.

You just have to be the world’s biggest Ajay Devgn fan to keep your eyes peeled over 2 hours, 50 minutes, on him, all through a film.

Shakal Pe Mat Ja
I peer at the faces around me at the theatre. Of course, you shouldn't go by their looks. Or reviews for that matter. Watch it yourself. Come on, you can do it.

The script may still have seemed quite striking on paper to some. The filmmaker's just never sure when he's diving deep into realism, and when he's completely frikin' stretchin' it.

Sarkar 3
...I don't particularly hate this Sarkar, the film. One just begins to feel indifferent towards it beyond a point. Which isn't a good thing, I know. But then, if “it is what it is” kinda casual indifference follows plain dejection, and natural helplessness, then so be it.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster
...admirably inspired, is almost a sophomore effort. As you'd know, that's a pretty hefty compliment to pay.
