Rann
...an honest look at everything that is wrong within the sociopolitical framework of media and power. But where this portrayal could have been intelligent, it simply manages to be trite.

Rangoon
While the actors give it their best shot, Rangoon just isn’t able to tell its story with consistency. The movie tries to pack in too many set pieces and ideas in one narrative.

Rang Rasiya
It’s got the right hues and shades. It’s got the impeccable references. But even so, it needed that little bit of panache, which Ketan Mehta misses out on.

Raman Raghav 2.0
...it can only be enjoyed if you can accept misogyny, death and gore as integral parts of reality. Otherwise, this movie can be quite the nerve-wracking experience.

Ram-leela
...is an illogical love tale dressed up in opulence. A classic case of looks can be deceptive.

Rakht Charitra 2
...is a decent watch thanks to Suriya's performance and the build up to its climax.

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

Ragini MMS - 2
The total package – the songs, Sunny Leone erotica and the in-your-face scares – is good for an average horror flick. But there’s absolutely no sense to story or treatment.

Raees
...serves up every thrill and spill you’d expect from a commercial masala movie. While the story and ideas aren’t all new or refreshing, Raees’ big play comes from its nostalgic treatment.

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.

Raanjhanaa
Raanjhanaa’s narrative comes with minor flaws but they’re almost negligible in the wake of its emotional impact.

Raag Desh
...recreates an important chapter of Indian history. Best part is, it does so with great detail and authenticity.

Ra.One
...had the storytelling been stronger Ra.One could’ve been a classic. Sadly it's not but it is an enjoyable sci-fi and CGI fiesta that will transport you to a world of kooky fantasy and video game heroes.

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...

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
The misogyny is present, but it stays in the under current. The story is just fantastic.

Prince
...this film is nothing more than a cheap hybrid between The Matrix (action wise), Dhoom 2 (since Vivek’s character does everything Hrithik does in Dhoom 2) and The Bourne Identity (since Vivek’s character loses his memory but retains his mano e mano fighting skills a la Jason Bourne).

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
It's long yes, and most of its story is almost too sentimental. But the it works, especially if you like family dramas with a dash of style and humour.

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.

Pink
Well acted, well intentioned and inspiringly brave, Pink is the film that can shake up feudal mindsets in India.

Phata Poster Nikhla Hero
...this movie just seems like a sorry rehash of what the director has done before.

Peepli [Live]
In spite of having that heart of gold, Peepli Live lacks a certain profoundness. The movie does nothing but sit on a fence, showing you that there is a solution but no one wants to work it out.
