Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
A dull and dreary borefest rather than the laugh-a-minute sex comedy it aims to be.

Kuldip Patwal
If a half-baked script, sketchy situations and vague characters were not enough, the film is also marked by clutter and disarray in the telling.

Krrish 3
The film tries to raise the bar for Bollywood superhero films with its better-than-the-rest SFX and cinematography, but remains thoroughly clunky at heart. The content and characters, the story-telling and dialogue are tacky.

Knock Out
A ludicrous thriller which makes you laugh at its stupidities, plotholes and implausibilities.

Kites
A love story works if it can make the audience feel for the lovers. In Kites there is not an ounce of romance or passion. What is it that draws the two together? Where’s the pull, the tug? And what is it (family, caste, religion or their own inner demons) that keeps them apart? Nothing about the relationship is compelling enough.

Ki & Ka
A perennially righteous film that reinforces the very stereotypes it was promising to break.

Khiladi 786
What does one say of a comedy where you can laugh at precisely one moment?

Khatta Meetha
Ample doses of over-the-top buffoonery and liberal sprinkling of double entendre. One of the most cringe-worthy films from Priyadarshan...

Khandaani Shafakhana
...may have a laudable message at its core, but gets bogged down by it’s own overly righteous attempt to “educate” — that sex is not gandi baat, ashleel aur aapattijanak (bad thing, obscene and unacceptable), nothing to be shameful about.

Kesari
All that has stayed on with me is the landscape—the brown, arid earth pitted against the majesty of the snow-laden, silver mountains. If only panoramic settings could make a good film.

Kedarnath
A protracted climax and worn-out clichés come in the way of what could have been an interesting cinematic exploration of a social fabric in turmoil.

Kashmakash
...the entire dubbing effort detracts from the nuances and feel, making the conversations seem affected and halting. I'd have preferred to see the original Bangla version with Hindi subtitles.

Karwaan
Even as the film makes the audience laugh uproariously it keeps them grounded in its own whimsical way with some sobering, everyday wisdom and bitter-sweet insights into loss, longing and life.

Kapoor & Sons
There is something very finely calibrated and nicely measured about the entire package that is Kapoor & Sons.

Kalank
You could say that I am being overly righteous and needlessly cautious here but the climax left me discomfited and disturbed.

Kajarya
There are many stories that lie hidden in the depressing newspaper headlines. The art is in giving them a compelling, emotional shape on screen. Madhureeta Anand succeeds but marginally so in Kajarya.

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.

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

Kadvi Hawa
...is essentially a short story on screen with a proverbial twist in the tale. Panda, however, plays it too slow for its own good — long sequences, seemingly static scenes. It gets protracted and plodding.

Kabir Singh
Entitled, toxic hero and a heroine without any agency whatsoever. What’s new?

Kaalakaandi
Director Akshat Verma neither gives the film any freshness and novelty, nor any depth and deliberation. Even the supposed black humour isn’t pert enough to tickle consistently.

Kaabil
... in the second half, the film becomes a usual revenge saga, marginally more engaging than deathly dull, dreary and deadening first half.

Junglee
There is a sweet stray dog and magnificent tuskers and an unintended nostalgia unleashed for Haathi Mere Saathi. I came out raving about Kulkarni's fitness and agility and Jammwal’s voice and jawline. But that wasn’t quite the point of the film, was it?

Judwaa 2
Dhawan updates the original with some new, contemporary, international scenery but fails to update the attitude for today’s times.

Jolly LLB 2
What Jolly LLB 2 essentially shows is how the marriage of opposites—the mainstream dramatic tropes and a realistic tapestry—can be the formula to go for, for Bollywood.
