Dhadak
While Parshya and Archi’s love story in Sairat was made with great honesty, realism and depth, giving us a perspective of the deep rooted prejudices in our society, Dhadak touches upon them too, but it merely skims the surface.

Race 3
But for all its big moments, 'Race 3' just does not work up the feeling of suspense and intrigue that made the previous masala movies from the franchise a guilty pleasure.

Veere Di Wedding
We’ve rarely seen women on screen who are so uninhibited about their life, sexuality and desires. In that respect, ‘Veere Di Wedding’ is a brave effort indeed.

Parmanu
What ‘Parmanu’ lacks in detail and authenticity, it makes up with emotions and a sense of national pride. The narrative isn’t explosive but it does have the dramatic moments to keep the viewer engaged.

102 Not Out
It’s just a happy and healthy entertainer that tells you that living in the moment and making the most of everyday of your life is all that matters.

Baaghi 2
With better editing and a taut screenplay this one would have packed a stronger punch. Nonetheless, for fans of the action genre, Baaghi 2 can be a one-time watch.

Hichki
For all its shortcomings, the movie still has plenty of freshness, insights and emotional intelligence.

Raid
...is a film that caters to public sentiment against black money and corruption. All in all, this one’s right on the money.

Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz
Despite the slow build-up, it manages to entertain with ease. It’s the perfect combination of fluff and an old school love saga.

Kuldip Patwal
This film had a lot of potential. It had the spunk that we've seen before in Subhash Kapoor's Jolly LLB movies. But all of that promise is laid to waste with uninspiring execution.

Padmaavat
This film is rich in detail, still tells a compelling story with grit and gumption.

Mukkabaaz
...is not your average sports film or love story. This one’s a funny, intense, dramatic and thrilling ride. It makes you laugh, cry and nervous in equal measure. It’s a great way to start the year.

Tiger Zinda Hai
It may look like a Hollywood action thriller, but at its heart, Tiger Zinda Hai is an unabashed masala movie.

Fukrey Returns
...is a sequel that wants to be bigger, better and funnier than the original. In all fairness, it does manage to fulfil its ambitions on two accounts. It is bigger, it is funnier but it's certainly not better.

Tumhari Sulu
Vidya Balan's zany laughter keeps the mood light and that's what makes this film perfectly feel-good and breezy.

Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana
...talks about the dowry system, the inequality towards women in civil services and general working opportunities etc, it really feels like a mature and relevant story. But the treatment is so lackluster that it relegates the movie to Indian soap opera status. It’s a definite letdown.

Qarib Qarib Singlle
There are no ‘jeene marne ki qasamein’ no drama, just a casual, simple and very refreshing romance that says a lot without much effort. With solid writing and great performances...

Ittefaq
...is a solid modern whodunit. It looks as slick as any Hollywood production. Even with its mistakes, the crime mystery manages to impress with its logical and clinical writing.

Tu Hai Mera Sunday
It has novel ideas, but Tu Hai Mera Sunday’s intentions deserved a better execution. Director Milind Dhaimade isn’t able to get the required finesse in telling this tale.

Chef
...had the potential to be a really zesty surprise. But in the pursuit of turning it into an Indian family film on relationships the movie squandered all chances of the unique premise. But the strong emotional value and the slice-of-life dialogue of the movie do hold it in good stead.

CRD
A vivid experience of an art film, CRD is inimitable and intensely niche. At times a little too strange for the average and feeble mind.

Bhoomi
While the film looks like a slick product, it doesn't get the emotion and drama right. A jaded story and some lacklustre writing make it look tired and unconvincing.

Simran

Poster Boys
It’s not the freshest of films. It’s a comedy that serves up more of the same. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s also not the most exciting prospect.

Daddy
The big problem with the film is its middle-of-the-road ambitions. It’s a commercial film that’s trying to be as authentic as a documentary and as sublime as an art film. That’s where it drops the proverbial ball.
