Bhoomi
...every cloud has a silver living; Bhoomi has Sanjay Dutt. Returning to the marquee after his incarceration, the actor wears the lines of his face with confidence.

Bangistan
Despite the dry choice of subject, Bangistan makes valiant attempts to keep the humour alive during its two-hour running time.

Karwaan
Actually, the thing with Karwaan is, it doesn't know what it wants to be. Akarsh is confused between making a light, breezy comedy and a dark, soul-searching film; so it oscillates between a fun-ride and a dark-drag, leaving you with no real emotion.

Notebook
Honestly, there is nothing wrong with this film. You only wish it hadn’t been so antiseptic.

Manto
...while it evokes strong emotions for the genius’ idiosyncrasies, it fails to keep the audience in its grip throughout. There’s a mundane element that keeps popping up from time to time.

Tubelight
The film that propagates the values of family, faith and patriotism doesn’t manage to take a complete leap of faith because somewhere someone couldn't pull this one off convincingly. In fact, everything is so cloyingly sweet that you start feeling you’ve strolled into a sermon rather than a Salman movie.

Junglee
Atul Kulkarni, who shows up as the antagonist, is superb. However, everything else around here is amateurish.

Bajatey Raho
...the film is one of those of linear, comic capers with a slight drama that makes you smile, though the situations and characters are cliched.

Pataakha
You laugh at the parallels drawn between the two sisters and India’s love-hate relationship with Pakistan. All the profundity about not being able to choose your relatives and neighbours works. But even that metaphor doesn’t allow you to ‘enjoy’ the violent nature of this destructive relationship.

No Fathers In Kashmir
The film presents a ‘controversial’ viewpoint on the Kashmir issue. Apart from this, the two youngsters — Zara and Shivam — are lovely. Give them a chance.

Welcome Back
It's a ham fest that is comparable to brain dead cinema of yore. The saving grace is, some smart one-liners and heartfelt performances.

Creature
...had this film been 15 minutes shorter, it could have been more spine-chilling.

Saala Khadoos
...a heartfelt attempt at putting the spotlight on India's women boxers.

Zanjeer
...this film should be judged as a stand-alone offering because attempts to compare the two versions will find the current one falling short, especially in the dialogue and music departments.

Qissa
Irrfan, Tisca and Tillotama give A-grade performances, making this film imminently watchable.

Omerta
Interspersing news footage — from the ’90s until the recent Mumbai 26/11 attacks — with a glamourised version of Omar’s life, it does manage to provide an overview of a contemporary terror hero.

Go Goa Gone

Mubarakan
...you just have to go through this garrulous, laugh-out-loud affair with the usual patience and perhaps even some perseverance that you usually reserve for Bollywood comedies such as this one.

Ittefaq
Instead of the having the edge-of-the-seat quality that brain twisters ideally should, this one is a tiresome cat-and-mouse chase.

Naam Shabana
Sorry, but the running time is the film’s first inherent flaw. Frankly, Shabana shone in Baby because she was in a cameo. Someone missed the point, guys.

Jab Harry Met Sejal
The script is wafer-thin and it’s been done to death by none other than Imtiaz Ali in each of his earlier films—be it Jab We Met, Cocktail or the recent Tamasha. It’s the routine girl is engaged elsewhere story but she discovers half-way through the film that she is actually attracted to someone else.

Student Of The Year 2
...lacks emotion. The linear, soulless, story-telling is tepid. The only time you open your eyes is to ogle at Tiger Shroff.
