  • Cocktail

    ...what Cocktail should be truly applauded for is its permissiveness. As a film it breaks shackles and ushers in a new free spirit that Gen-Now will relate to.

  • 102 Not Out

    ...the main reason to watch this film is the fact that it brings together two of Indian cinema’s finest talents — Amitabh and Rishi — after a gap of 27 years.

  • Qarib Qarib Singlle

    If you’re in the mood for romance, you should stroll into the cinema nearby and indulge in the adventure, this movie road-maps for you.

  • Badla

    ...the movie feels too verbose and claustrophobic because a major portion is set inside just one room. But, if you take a deep breath and let that feeling pass, you may just find yourself "digging deep" into the proceedings.

  • Stree

    ...the film is enjoyable because of the superlative acting from Rajkummar, Pankaj, Aparshakti and Abhishek all of who blend seamlessly into the screenplay credited to Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK.

  • Mahabharat

    ...the animation effort itself is immature and several notches below those of Hollywood films. Yet the dub effort by the Bollywood superstars uplifts this epic, making it enjoyable.

  • Azhar

    Emraan bears no physical resemblance to Azharuddin. However his mannerisms—the blinking of his eyes and swagger add to a knockout performance. Watch Azhar for him.

  • Manmarziyaan

    So one thought stays constant while watching this film — the premise is all wrong, yet the emotions are so right. Loveless marriages are as much a way of life as lust-filled encounters.

  • Motu Patlu

    Motu is not as endearing as Mowgli from The Jungle Book nor is this animated action-adventure anywhere close to the Hollywood film that recently rewrote box-office history. However, the attempt to tell a simple kiddie story with the right punches must be applauded.

  • Sarkar 3

    Coming to the all-important question—is Ram Gopal Varma of Shiva, Satya, Company and the first part of Sarkar back in form? Well, you can see some flashes of the filmmaker’s intensity here.

  • Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota

    The humour here is infectious, but doesn’t hold throughout. This is a film more suited for OTT viewing, which you can enjoy during a Sunday brunch with a group of buddies.

  • Dilwale

    Low on content — plot lines borrowed, incohesive screenplay and lowbrow dialogues — the film leans heavily on Shah Rukh's mega-stardom, Varun's effervescence, breathtaking locales, orchestrated car chases and over-the-top situations, which have you chuckling.

  • Ghanchakkar

    ...the pace is slow and when the situations and jokes start getting repetitive, you want to pull your hair. There is an unusual climax to look forward to. Yet, the ground rule for thrillers is that they cannot unfold at such a languid pace.
