Raaz Reboot
Nothing changes in the fourth of the Raaz franchisee. If at all the chills and thrills seem to run dangerously out of steam and some scenes turn out unintentionally funny.

Raaz 3
Bad music, corny lines and some unintentionally funny moments come together rather well. It is unrelentingly creepy.

Raavan
Fails to offer a persuasive portrayal of individuals and relationships, the largely ineffective acting making a further hash of an already tenuous narrative.

Queen
...a squarely mainstream film. Simplistic? Undemanding? Perhaps. But ultimately it is immensely warm and winsome, pressing just the right emotional buttons.

Qarib Qarib Singlle
...is a happy confluence of many things besides an absolutely entrancing, candid and un-self-conscious Khan who makes acting seem utterly easy and effortless.

Qaidi Band
Not only does Qaidi Band stay voluntarily far from scratching the surface of the issue but is unable to be a compelling watch either. For a real, troubling issue the solution offered is an unconvincing fairytale one.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
The first half is quite a laugh riot, but the narrative gets too scattered in the second.

Prakash Electronic
Things happen rather randomly on screen—the twists, turns, misunderstandings and reconciliations—and somehow something like a film gets cobbled together.

Poster Boys
Not offensive so much as infantile. And every single character is a cartoon.

Poorna
Despite the low budget Poorna does a fair, if not extraordinary, job of bringing mountaineering on to the big screen.

Pink
...it’s good to have a film stating categorically, even if a trifle simplistically, that a no is a no is a no.

Pihu
Deliberately designed, repetitive, predictable and emotionally manipulative, Pihu is cinema at its most duplicitous.

Photograph
...I was also left feeling a sense of void and dissatisfaction, in that it barely scratches the surface of what could have been a far deeper engagement.

Phillauri
Even the ghosts are sporting a tinge of nationalism in Bollywood films these days.

Pati Patni Aur Woh
The film starts off quick and fast, drops pace in the middle to again pick up speed later.

Pari
The oppressive fear built at the start collapses when the filmmaker explains it all.

Parched
The film is an unconvincing indictment of patriarchy that feels staged; its parts don’t quite add up to a compelling whole.

Panipat
Gowariker may have taken liberties with history, but doesn’t play around with the form. He sticks to the tried and tested, the long and langourous and old-fashioned. However, he is unable to achieve the epic sweep despite the declamatory dialogue, opulent costumes and the big song-n-dance set-pieces.

Panga
Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari directorial is about how love, marriage and children need not come in the way of a sportswoman’s success, but what sets it refreshingly apart is a wonderful sense of humour.

Pagalpanti
...this could have become a fairly decent satire. But that’s like asking for the moon and wishing Anees Bazmee was Kundan Shah.

Padmaavat
...may well be Bhansali’s most sterile and insipid outing since Saawariya and Guzaarish. It manages to wear down and exhaust rather than engage.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
...there is not enough dramatic tension which underlined the narratives of the ’70s and ’80s, no real big scenes to remember forever.
