Patiala House
...at the end of it, the film serves up enough happiness and drama to warm the cockles of your heart.

Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi
...is one weary film about Indian communities and their closed mind-sets. Definitely not up to the times.

Pataakha
But for all its wonderful and creative touches, Pataakha still feels like a story that stretches a short concept, for a little too long.

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.

Parched
...is a film where women rise above the exploitation and the misogyny to live life on their own terms. The erotic nature of their conversations and their ability to retain their spirit through all adversity makes this film a true blue winner.

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

Paathshaala
If this film were Ukey's assignment and the producers were teachers, upon review, they should've remarked in red, 'redo'. At least I would.

One Night Stand
a very competent film. It's commercial packaging does create a bit of contrast to its relevantly real themes. But that's not really a bad thing.

One By Two
They used to serve a bowl of soup, one by two. Now they serve a bowl of cinematic goulash in the same portion. It’s inedible but nonetheless it’s being served at a multiplex near you.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara
...when a 160 minute movie slackens in its pace, no amount of huffing and puffing from its leading man can save the day.

OMG Oh My God!
...the film serves up quality content, as it successfully emulates the intelligence, insight and humour of the original play.

Notebook
...is an easy watch where you can appreciate the humour, drama and romance. But the film leaves you wanting for more. Perhaps with more creativity in writing, this young romantic saga could have achieved more.

NH10
...Navdeep Singh's treatment of the film is slick. The visuals are appropriately dark and murky. The sense of gloom prevails throughout. It sets the right mood. But when it comes to the final act, he drops the ball.

Neerja
That Neerja, the film, takes that stance makes all the difference in cinematic quality. You can see a lot of thought and effort was put into crafting this film.

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.

Mom
...is quite literally a thrill-a-minute ride. Its scenes are powerful and the best part is, the effort put in by the actors. Director Ravi Udyawar crafts an intense, taut and gratifying thriller.

Mohenjo Daro
With its story and characters crumbling under its cinematic ambition, the only thing that makes Mohenjo Daro a sweeping cinematic experience is its visuals.

Mirzya
You need to deal with its overtly artistic nature with a pinch of salt. But if you have the appetite for a tragic and epic love saga, the luscious visual imagery of Mirzya will give you plenty of food for thought.

Mirza Juuliet
...is the millionth time Hindi films have tried to cash in on the Shakespearean tragedy. Sadly, the charm of the concept hasn’t just worn off, it’s dead.

Milan Talkies
...ends up becoming a goulash of commercial fare. The effort to entertain and be dramatic shows and that’s never a good sign for a film celebrating the love of cinema.

Meri Pyaari Bindu
The seamless mix of comedy, romance and drama is fantastic too. At two hours, the film feels like an absolute breeze. Meri Pyaari Bindu hits a lot of ticks on the check boxes. And that is the strength of this refreshing new romance.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola

Mastizaade
The problem with a film like Mastizaade is not that it's overloaded with sex. The problem is that the sexual content isn't just regressive it's plain stupid.
