Sniff
With a stronger sub-plot, this would have been a sweet, wholesome affair. The film has the ability to fly, but strangely decides to walk.

Shreelancer
...feels like a promising assignment that started out great but succumbed to a fast-approaching deadline.

Gurgaon
Unlike its namesake city, Gurgaon isn’t messy enough and doesn’t leave you gasping for air. But it provides a temporary taste of the dark side.

Indu Sarkar
With Indu Sarkar, Bhandarkar drops most gimmicks and turns the page. But he is still far from Page 3.

Raag Desh
It is overpopulated with numbers, dates and facts and suddenly introduces relatives of the protagonists who have stories of their own. It’s death by information.

Lipstick Under My Burkha
...may not drastically change things for women, but it’ll certainly smudge a few boundary lines.

Guest Iin London
The funniest thing about this comedy is just how angry it can make you.

Bank Chor
A better plan of action and a few dry runs with the script would have ensured a product to bank on.

Raabta
As much as you can force influences into a love story, you can’t force love itself. Neither with good-looking actors flirting with chocolates and flowers. Nor with an ambitious flashback that adds years as opposed to maturity to the plot. But Raabta relies on this kind of forced love rather than the force of love.

Behen Hogi Teri
Had the writers taken a dig at patriarchy and given the female characters some spunk, this would have been hilarious.

Meri Pyaari Bindu
...will appeal to the romantic in you, but watching the movie will be a battle between the brain and the heart. Your brain and the movie’s heart, that is.

Mantostaan
...seems like the first draft of a potentially unputdownable book. A slightly more experienced filmmaker would have done wonders with it. But in this state, it’s like a decent read with a great epilogue.

Noor
This is the great debut that has come seven years into Sonakshi’s career. And for that, you must go meet Noor at theatre.

Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana
...has to be some kind of a scientific experiment to study the frequency of fidgeting in a theatre seat. Do you want to contribute to the data?

Mukti Bhawan
The plot is too skimpy and with its languid pacing, the movie eventually seems a bit indulgent. The filmmaker’s exposure to slow, contemplative festival films becomes apparent. But the unassuming characters and the humour make it a delightful watch.

Phillauri
It seems as though Phillauri could have gone in a lot of directions, but it took the road usually travelled.

Machine
This machine has been put together without any manual and starts falling apart as soon as it is turned on.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
...is a rucksack full of radioactive social issues handled cautiously with bedazzled Dharma gloves. But ‘handled’ is the operative word here.

Raees
The movie can feel a bit long, but if you’re going for a great Shah Rukh performance and some good ol’ popcorn-entertainment, it might just ‘raees’ to the occasion.

Ok Jaanu
If you haven’t seen the original though, you’re sure to walk out of the theatre with a warm-fuzzy feeling.

Befikre
If you care for some laughs, some YRF nostalgia and are, well, promiscuous with your choice of romcoms, you could take a chance with this one.

Force 2
It’s a decent time at the cinema for the thrill-seekers; the action won’t disappoint.

Dongri Ka Raja
To give it a little credit, the movie has a surprising feministic subtext in the love story but it gets diluted quickly. And all you’re left with are dozens and dozens of cat-and-mouse chases.

Chaar Sahibzaade
And make you stir, it will. Subpar animation just doesn’t do justice to a story of this scale. It is like watching Baahubali through a Chota Bheem filter.

31st October
...the final product is underwhelming and looks like a small-scale remake of the Hollywood film franchise, The Purge.
