Saina
Watch Saina to get a shot of inspiration, but do not expect it to scratch beneath the surface.

Mumbai Saga
If I could just suggest a new title for this Sanjay Gupta film, it would be 'Dishoom and Dishkiyaoon', because that's what it is all about. You take your eyes off the screen for five seconds and somebody gets shot through the chest.

Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar
You'd expect a suspense thriller or a dark comedy to keep you intrigued from start to finish, but Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar misses the plot despite having so much to explore.

Roohi
With a plot that's too convoluted and takes the entire runtime of the film to establish itself, Roohi terribly falters at storytelling, and fails to give out the message it intends to.

Angrezi Medium
...a potentially good film, falls prey to poor execution and a weak screenplay.

Thappad
Sinha’s Thappad is the much needed slap everyone needed to break the silence and call out the wrong. Even if it doesn’t lead to things changing overnight, it certainly has started a debate, a dialogue that can make way for some change sooner or later.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan
...is an important film that talks about an important subject conveyed in the simplest manner without sounding preachy at any given point. It touches your heart, makes you laugh and stays with you for a long time.

Bhoot – Part One
...has its high and low points, but doesn’t leave you craving for more. Watch it for a good performance from Vicky Kaushal but avid lovers of the genre will go back disappointed.

Love Aaj Kal
...is a film that’s for the millennials only because it’s a modern day love story but even then, it needed a way better treatment.

Shikara
...touches your heart while making you smile and cry at the same time. Chopra does justice to his direction though a much hard-hitting narrative is what one continues to wait for.

Malang
It rides on the thrill quotient, has some good performances and a good looking pair at its centre but that’s about it. The plot ends up looking like a mockery of a subject that needed a better storytelling.

Panga
...this wholesome family film is a must watch for the way it is told, for being real and for the emotional chord it strikes with you from the very beginning.

Street Dancer 3D
The script lacks substance and it merely looks like a forced run up to an ultimate dance battle.

Tanhaji
...is a complete package. It’s magnificent, high on visual effects and has powerful action backed by rock solid performances.

Chhapaak
...is a story that makes you sob and smile at the same time. It’s a sensitive, brave and gut-wrenching story that’s not easy to watch, but definitely worth telling.

Mardaani 2
...is a story that everyone knows about, but it still needs to be told again. There are moments that make us cringe, but if we can watch 24-hour news cycle then this film is certainly the need of the hour to make our voices heard.

Panipat
...is an honest attempt at recreating the war that we only read in history books until now. It’s a tribute to the Maratha community in its truest form and even it was shorter by an hour, it could have had the same impact.

Pati Patni Aur Woh
...is funny, watchable and problematic at places, but who intends to learn a message or two from a film that trivializes an issue like infidelity and make it sound funny?

Commando 3
With the story and the message that the director intended to convey, it could have been easily wrapped up in a crisp hour and a half, but brevity doesn’t seem to be the strong point here. Only time when you feel adrenaline rush is when bones break and the background score amps up.

Satellite Shankar
...is a pleasant watch that makes you pause and think if we are doing enough for our soldiers who put their lives at stake at the borders so that we can live safely. Did it sound preachy? Yes, but that aside, you wish it was only confined to the heroic tales of men in uniform.

Ujda Chaman
...is an average film that is watchable for its subject but you wish it was made with slightly more focus and quirk so that it would have left an impact.

Housefull 4
...is quite the comic extravaganza that offers you a heavy dose of laughter this festive season.

Made In China
...is your typical Chinese product – it promises a lot but is low on performance. Watch it for Rajkummar and Boman’s terrific acting.

Saand Ki Aankh
...is an absolute family entertainer that needs to be watched with your grandmother. Celebrate womanhood as you take home a message that is inspiring but will take decades to seep into our society.

Yaaram
Yaaram’s central idea is lost in translation because of poor screenplay and writing.

War
...a big spectacle film, is definitely worth a watch for the sheer joy of seeing this dream pair of Hrithik and Tiger on the silver screen.

Prassthanam
An intriguing political drama exploring human nature, complex relationships, emotional turmoil and hunger for power, Prassthanam needed a revamp, at least in the treatment of story and the screenplay. However, some brilliant performances make it watchable.

Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas
...is definitely one of your run-of-the-mill love stories, but it makes you smile, cry, laugh and brings a sense of freshness.

Dream Girl
The director has put his writing experience of years penning scripts for noted comedians to its optimum use, and therefore, the overtly funny dialogues and comic one-liners give life to this romantic comedy.

Chhichhore
...is relatable and relevant. Watch it for its uncomplicated screenplay, gripping narrative and some stellar performances that leave you in stitches.
