Zubaan
...might test your patience but it is heartbreaking in parts. Luckily, the melodrama is kept at bay even when the protagonist finds himself divided between materialism and mirth.

Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se
Avoid this migraine-inducing massacre of a movie that is so unimpressive that even cinema legends can't save it.

X: Past is Present
It is tolerable in parts, sometimes inventive, often mediocre but never half-as-good as it claims to be.

Welcome 2 Karachi
It's an average fare which could've been far better had its meanderings been trimmed.

Wajah Tum Ho
No Nirbhaya, India hasn't changed much. We still objectify women — zoom into their butts and breasts to sell tickets. Hope you are in a better place.

Waiting
For Kalki and Naseer's effortless performances, this movie deserves to be watched.

Tu Hai Mera Sunday
You wish everything in the film worked as effortlessly as them but clearly director Milind Dhaimade doesn't spread out his material between the characters.

Thugs Of Hindostan
Undeniably, majestic movie experiences are created by filmmakers and in this one, Acharya makes a fatal mistake- he takes his audience for granted. No wonder, Thugs doesn't rise above being an absolute snoozefest.

It is hard to not lament over how lack of finesse killed a sturdy concept.

The Accidental Prime Minister
If at all the idea was to shame and embarrass the Congress party, the writing here lacks the desired punch. The onus of shaping the material lies in the hands of the director, and Vijay Gutte is visibly inept.

Sui Dhaaga
The unimpressive climax is disjointed, a far cry from the tone the film carried up until then. Despite its rousing moments, the film leaves you feeling unfulfilled.

Simran
...there's more reason to celebrate Simran than diss it. The quirky perspective at finding laughs in troubled times is a refreshing way of viewing problems. And then there's Kangana, making badass look simple, human and so full of heart.

Shorgul
Is the film gritty? No. Is it emotional? No. Is the love story worth the bloodshed? No. Is it worth your money? You know the answer.

Section 375
...is a crackling film that delves into the subject wisely, talking of issues that we are only happy to brush under our carpets and bury in our closets. It’s by far one of 2019’s best film and I recommend you give this one a dekko for sure.

...glaring hiccups in an otherwise watchable and frankly, very enjoyable film. Just don't hope for a warts-and-all biopic.

Sanam Teri Kasam
For a romantic drama, the film has its most essential element right - the love story is impeccable. It is mighty flawed otherwise.

The feel-good climax might soften you but this predictable, banal affair fails to create an impact.

Rough Book
Even as you lose your heart to Rough Book's intention, you can't buy the amateurish story. The dialogues are dated, the story is predictable and the climax is sloppily done.

Raman Raghav 2.0
The biggest problem with Raman Raghav 2.0 is that it glorifies the gore.

Phillauri
The narrative is refreshingly written, brimming with breezy humour. But it is ironic that the haunting spirit is lacking, both metaphorically and literally speaking.

One Night Stand
Even with a compelling idea, One Night Stand remains singularly superficial.

Omerta
It's a shame really that Omerta lacks depth, never giving an insight into Omar's criminal designs. As a thriller, it's pacy and yet, distinctly half-baked and stiff.

Notebook
...with so much solo heavy lifting and a wobbly screenplay in tow, Kakkar delivers far short of what he is capable of.
