It’s an outstanding criss-cross of relationships between three men about the house.

Kai Po Che!
...manages to find its own distinct voice beyond these general simplifications. Primarily, because it builds well on the relationship of its three lead characters.

Fan
...SRK couldn’t have found a better vehicle than Fan, both as an actor and as a celebration of the highs and the lows of his own stardom.

That Girl in Yellow Boots
Anurag Kashyap narrates it slowly, bit by bit, with a lingering calm and control that makes the film unsettling and affecting.

Befikre
What the film does try is to remain unpredictable and breezy in its expression of it. It tries to hold back from wallowing in the traditional, even as it posits the time-honoured and conventional as a solution.

Tiger Zinda Hai
I think I just found my guilty pleasure film of 2017; right at the end of the year.

Chhapaak
It’s this sparseness, minimalism and austerity in the telling and an essential quietude that lend Chhapaak an emotional force of its own though some may end up finding it measured to a fault.

Kahaani
The spoon-feeding takes the intrigue away. I come away feeling cheated and look back at the whole construct with reservations.

Happy Bhag Jayegi
...there are gaping plot-holes and slapdash contrivances galore but some genuine fun and many smart lines to balance things in favour of this Indo-Pak interaction of a different kind.

Delhi Belly
It could get very discomfiting and disconcerting for some, but for this reviewer it was a merry lark of a film, the most entertaining in 2011 thus far.

M.S. Dhoni
It would have been interesting to see Dhoni’s engagement with what it has become over the years—a world of big money and bigger misdemeanours. However, the film lets him remain in an idealistic bubble.

Talaash
A well dressed film but makes one wonder if it would have been better off as a study in sorrow.

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan
The many characters, families and relationships, their quirks and quarrels feel relatable, played as they are by an ensemble of actors who seem to be born to their roles.

Gattu
No mawkish melodrama here; its sensitivity and a wry sense of humour bring the film alive. Unhurried and measured.

It's endearing, playful and filled with laughter and banter. A heartwarming tale that makes you want to shed your cynicism and believe in love.

Mukkabaaz
A rare sports film which steps away from jingoistic chest thumping to stare hard at the casteist and corrupt face of sports management in the country.

Gali Guleiyan
The film is a fine study of deteriorating places, people, relationships, families, neighbourhoods, communities and human minds with the one aerial shot at the end capturing it all economically.

Titli
Through the film you can feel the claustrophobia of the world that Titli is set in and it's a feeling that lingers on, long after you have left the theatre.
