  • The Lunchbox

    Treat yourself to 'The Lunchbox' - it'll leave you with a craving to seek your own little happiness. The best film I've seen in a long time.

  • Pink

    This isn’t just an important film, but also excellently made. It’s a giant leap for Hindi cinema, and easily the best film this year.

  • Titli

    It may not be everyone’s cup of tea – it’s especially not for the squeamish – but it’s an unflinching study of family in the way that the movies rarely provide.

  • Andhadhun

    It is to Raghavan’s credit that he packages this sinister thriller with such bells and whistles like popular 70s film songs and nods to Anil Dhawan’s own pulp hits. The result is a deliciously twisted film that delivers more fun than any other Hindi movie this year.

  • Dangal

    ...it’s a solid and satisfying watch, a well crafted look at what went into the creation of two sporting champions. It’s a film that makes the heart swell… when it isn’t pounding from all the excitement of the bouts.

  • Shahid

    The film itself is brave and unflinching, and oozes the kind of sincerity that you long for in most Hindi films.

  • Thappad

    It’s a hard subject to pull off, but Anubhav Sinha achieves it with first-rate storytelling. The best films inspire dialogue, they set you thinking; they can even lead to change. This one made me uncomfortable; it made me question myself and I think it will make you too. It’s essential viewing.

  • Mukti Bhawan

    Beautifully shot and although languidly paced, Bhutiani delivers an evocative drama that has surely got to be one the best films you’ll see this year.

  • Love Sex Aur Dhokha

    You will be shocked, you will be startled, but walking out of the theatre, you know you have just seen what is possibly the most important Hindi film since Satya and Dil Chahta Hai.

  • Dedh Ishqiya

    Gorgeously shot, crisply edited, and handsomely mounted, large portions of the film are evocative of a nawabi culture and lifestyle alas seldom seen in the movies now.

  • Drishyam

    When was the last time you enjoyed a film for its gripping plot, its compelling story? Drishyam, with its refreshingly original screenplay and its many moments of tension, is just that.

  • PK

    Packed with sharp dialogue and genuinely funny moments that offset the lack of subtlety, it is easily one of the year's better films.
