  • Shahid

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

  • Warning

    The only thing truly baffling is that this film is supposedly based on true events. Which means morons like these actually existed!

  • 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.

  • John Day

    The film then is sloppy and contrived; it's an unoriginal and uninspiring thriller that's let down by flabby writing.

  • Shuddh Desi Romance

    reinvents the wheel as far as Bollywood rom-coms go. It's aggressively non-formulaic, and gives us characters who refuse to conform. The minor hiccups notwithstanding, this is a charming little film.

  • Zanjeer

    ...stinks of a blatant disregard for the audience's intelligence and entertainment. It's an obvious attempt to cash in on the brand 'Zanjeer' and offer nothing in return.

  • Satyagraha

    Sadly, the director's storytelling has become so hackneyed that his cinema now merely pays lip service to issues instead of making a stronger comment.

  • Madras Cafe

    Solidly directed by Sircar, who steers clear of typical Bollywood machismo and avoids oversimplifying characters or their motives, the film - at a little over two hours - is a compelling watch.

  • D-Day

    ...is far from perfect, but as pulpy Bollywood action films go, it's very watchable and works its strengths.

  • Raanjhanaa

    For its immensely entertaining first half, a winning score by AR Rahman, but most of all for Dhanush, this is a film that's worth your time.

  • Fukrey

    A tighter script and more screen time for the excellent Pankaj Tripathi, as enterprising campus security guard Pandeyji, might have helped turn this moderately entertaining film into a rollicking good caper.

  • Gippi

    Ultimately, this could have been a sweet, unusual tale about the triumph of a nerd, yet it's let down by its affected tone.
