Sanju
Frankly you don’t need to be a fan or a friend or family member of Sanjay Dutt to invest emotionally in this film. Even if you have a vicarious bent of mind (which most of have) you will take away a lot from Sanju.

Simmba
...is tried and tested 80s Bollywood formula. But what the hell? If redux songs can be a super hit, retelling formula, 1000-times-over can also be super fun.

Makkhi
Though the plot is for the most-part predictable, Makkhi still offers situations that are truly gleeful to the young and the old alike.

Raanjhanaa
In the first half, it is an interesting, intense, introspective love story, where you empathise with the characters. In the second half, the love story gets diluted to make way for gobbledygook political ideology that is an irritant.

Batti Gul Meter Chalu
Watch BGMC because it throws light on the issue of electricity, which is a fundamental human right. If we sit like frogs in a well, we may never learn what ails the real India. Jaago guys, jaago.

TE3N
The film's ability to maintain the suspense right till the end makes it a must-watch for those who like whodunnits. However, a better pace could have lifted this film a notch higher.

Simran
Frankly, you can't emotionally invest in Simran or root for her as much as you might want to. But when you watch the film, you will find yourself warming up to her occasionally, because she's all you've got. Let's give Kangana her due.

Raid
Watch Raid because despite the corruption around us, we still believe we can win the war against black money hoarders. Also, watch it for Ajay Devgn’s intensity.

Gupta, known to be sounder with technique than story-telling (many of his films have been foreign inspirations), has got it right this time.

Rangoon
In his attempt to pack in too much on war, love and deceit, the maker ends up with some haphazard division of war scenes versus love games, leaving the viewer muddled.

Kalank
Three words to sum it up would be – it’s beautifully chaotic. Anyway, some movies are best seen and less analysed.

Freaky Ali
While the first hour of this film is time pass, the second half loses steam because of its repetitive narrative style.
