Guest Iin London
When a movie uses flatulence for humour, it is clear that the bar is set very low.

Guddu Rangeela
...starts off on a wholly different note from the one on which it ends.

Guddu Ki Gun
The daring premise seals the movie’s destiny as a cult favourite, but at 124 minutes, it is stretched beyond belief and tolerance.

Great Grand Masti
Despite the promise held out by the title, this kind of fun is neither great nor grand.

Grand Masti
No double entendre is left unused, no body part unmolested and no pop- culture reference forgotten...

Gour Hari Dastaan
...is sluggishly paced, and fails to convey the monumentality of the protagonist's mission.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
Malhotra’s desire to engage with the issues that matter seems to be a response to criticism that Bollywood needs to move out of la-la land and in the direction of realistic cinema, but Gori Tere Pyaar Mein! is proof that this journey is not for everybody.

Good Newwz
It’s a clever premise for a comedy of errors, and it also helps that Good Newwz is grown-up and matter-of-fact about adult bodily functions and needs.

Gone Kesh
The light touch that peppers most of the scenes feels misplaced, given the gravity of Enakshi’s condition and the association between beauty and hair. The shattering of self-image and the tragedy of Enakshi’s plight, given her youth, are barely explored.

Gold
The sluggish pacing over 153 minutes contain few moments of surprise or discovery. In the end, the inevitable clamber for the exit gate is stalled in the final moments by the strains of the national anthem.

Go Goa Gone
The story moves determinedly in the direction of zombie movie predictability, but the hilarious repartee is never far behind.

Global Baba
The clarity with which director Manoj Tiwari approaches his subject isn’t always reflected in the overly busy plotting and the choppy narrative. Yet, the filmmaker makes his points adequately.

Ghayal Once Again
Ghayal was one of the best-known entries in this genre, and the sequel labours under the shadow of the 1990 production.

Ghanchakkar
...is at heart a languid and quirky comedy, but even laidback movies need momentum.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
The movie is as much heartless fun as the first, but it will also hopefully be the last word in the romanticisation of mofussil chic that has come to characterise a section of Hindi cinema.

Gangoobai
Writer and director Priya Krishnaswamy keeps the proceedings simple and the emotions even simpler.

Game Over
Saravanan and co-writer Kaavya Ramkumar deliver a taut and highly watchable thriller that, despite falling short of its ambitions, has a clever take on the way in which violence against women gets imprinted on bodies and souls.

Game
...a movie has to be much more than the sum of liquor-ad lighting, sharp clothes and tourism brochure locations.

Gali Guleiyan
...Bajpayee’s career-best performance prevents interest from flagging. The actor never loses Khuddus’s humanity, and portrays his plight with unerring rigour and poignancy.

Gabbar Is Back
...is designed as a star vehicle for Kumar’s limited acting skills but considerable fighting prowess.

Fukrey Returns
Theoretically, a sequel offers up the opportunity to fix the flaws of part one and strengthen the story. In reality, this is unlikely to happen when your source material was unworthy of a follow up.

FryDay
How about crafting a role for Govinda that properly capitalises on his comic talents and persuades him to shed off the anything-goes quality and tackiness of his recent films? Fryday isn’t quite a comeback for Govinda, but it will have to do for his extant fanbase.

Freaky Ali
Nawazuddin Siddiqui lives it up as the hero, churning out punchlines and playing the romantic lead in a creaky fantasy about bridging the gulf between the working class and a rich person’s game.

Force 2
It’s not quite India’s answer to the Mission: Impossible films, but at least on the thrills front, it’s halfway there.

Force
...isn't quite as offensive as some other recent releases, but it neither captures the thrills of the original nor fixes the flaws.

Firangi
...is highly overstretched, and squanders its comic potential despite having a comedian as its hero.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
Mapuskar directs his actors with confidence and boldly shoots the films in real locations, but the movie needed to have been crisper and quicker, more Ferrari than Ambassador.
