Zid
Who actually created this-disgruntled director, proud producer, or horny underaged kid in the matinee show?

Zed Plus
...a good, intelligent film-one that needs to be watched, if only to recognise the value of solid writing.

Youngistaan
...a skewered immature tale that caters to the lowest common denominator of hope.

Yeh Hai Bakrapur
There is no excuse for lazy storytelling, especially when the setup is potentially ahead of a Peepli Live.

Yahaan Sabki Lagi Hai
Perhaps it is the filmmakers' intention to irritate viewers with irritable characters and existential rants, but it soon becomes an irritating watch.

Ya Rab
What is the lesser evil - A dishonest film made with technical fluency, or a socially relevant film with schoolboy technique?

Ungli
...takes a chestthumping, crowd-pleasing concept and turns it into a preachy mess that might discourage future attempts at this genre.

Ugly
I disliked what I saw, and I dislike thinking or even writing about its familiar environment. And this vile aftertaste is perhaps Mr. Kashyap's most significant achievement.

Total Siyapaa
...definitely lives up to its title, but not in a good way. This is a bad kind of chaos-the sort Joker creates in Gotham-despite a cast oozing with potential.

The Xpose
Intentional or not, this film gets away with it the same way Om Shanti Om does-not designed as biopics (Heroine) but as unwaveringly cringe worthy stories mirroring the era they represent...

The Shaukeens
...more than what The Shaukeens does right, its redeeming qualities are strictly contained within what it doesn't do wrong.

Tevar
...there's not a moment that isn't formula-driven, which is why Sharma fails to stamp any kind of storytelling authority.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns
This isn't the first time Rai has left us gasping for more at interval point, only to overindulge with his treasure trove of actors.

Tamanchey
Eventually, the film turns into a self-conscious anti-tribute of everything it attempts to pay homage to.

Super Nani
Mr Kumar has created a world that will instantly take you back to the regressive ways of the 18th century-the kind of attitude you battled to break norms and set the stage.

Sulemani Keeda
We've lately seen so many shiny self-referential movies about movies, but none as self-aware and poker-faced as this charming little effort.

Spark
...a dated political action flick that looks to have been concocted by melancholic film buffs in a smoky room during a mandatory 1-day editing course.

Sonali Cable
...the foremost sign of debutant director Charudutt Acharya's inexperience is his handling of actors.

Singham Returns
There's still the usual dose of brutal explosions, irrelevant heroines, slaphappy heroes, righteous sermons, contrived injustice, poverty porn (done better in Bhoothnath Returns) and, yes, flying vehicles of all shapes and sizes—which is exactly what makes it routine fare.

Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene
Though it is written with a fair amount of conviction and research, the paper-to-screen transition adds nothing new. There isn't enough within sequences—be it the performers, their lines or routines—to keep us engaged.

Shamitabh
...ultimately morphs into the film equivalent of medical marijuana. It aims for a necessary high, the concept is barely legal, but once the plot is lost it becomes a moody epidemic of inopportune giggles.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
There is nothing more heartbreaking than watching a promising film dissipate within the acid of its own intentions.

That the graph remains unhurried, almost meditative in its approach to storytelling, is down to the director's striking sense of imagery and framing (supported by stylish camerawork), his atmospheric and well-planned use of string-heavy background themes, and his extensive treatment of their chatty chemistry.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
...ends up as an ill-conceived tribute to an animal that deserves a more majestic showcase.

Revolver Rani
...an overwhelming desire to merge elements of tragedy, satire and real-worldly grime makes this a conflicted work of moments and broken promises.

Rang Rasiya
...will be remembered not for its subversive images and tacky craft, but for its counterintuitive storytelling.

Raja Natwarlal
This film is far from perfect, but makes for an acceptable non-Italian version of 'The Indian Job'-by entertaining solely within the confines of a revenge drama.

Ragini MMS - 2
Just as the makers expect us to believe Ragini MMS2 is actually a film, you can go ahead and imagine this to be a review.
