Kabir Singh
...is an unmistakably misogynistic film, but the sad part is that it’s exactly these troubling portions that the filmmakers peddle as intense love. Even more sad is that there will be many who’ll buy into it.

Watch it if you're a die-hard Salman fan. It's an epic-sized period film with tacky special effects. Unacceptable in these times.

Heroine
Bhandarkar loses his grip on the script, and it’s evident that his storytelling now desperately needs reinventing.

The Shaukeens
There are the odd moments of inspired humor - all crude - between the three senior actors, but for the most part they're wasted.

Hero
This is lazy, indifferent filmmaking, and a colossal bore for most of its running time.

7 Khoon Maaf
Vishal Bhardwaj delivers his oddest film yet, that is also sadly his weakest.

Gali Gali Chor Hai
...doesn't say much that hasn't been said before, and it doesn't say it interestingly either. Never smart enough to be described as a satire, it fails ultimately because it's dreadfully dull.

Love Breakups Zindagi
It's a tiring retread of a once popular formula that's wearing thin now.

Agent Vinod
For a large portion of Agent Vinod, you don't know where things are going… and then it all stretches on so needlessly that you stop caring.

OMG Oh My God!
...in a sea of dumb Bollywood comedies (many starring Akshay Kumar himself), this one at least starts off a debate. For that alone, it’s not entirely a write-off.

Mickey Virus
Problem is, this film is never more than just a good pitch. A concept in search of a plot.

Mirzya
There’s a lot to admire in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mirzya, but coherent narrative and compelling characters are not among its strengths.

Thugs Of Hindostan
...for the most part Thugs of Hindostan is a humourless, solemn affair.

Right Yaaa Wrong
Cleverly plotted and never revealing all its cards at once, the film is a smart thriller. And yet the director fails to deliver a tight, slick Bollywood entertainer on the lines of those Abbas-Mustan whodunits, because his treatment's so archaic.

...isn't a particularly bad film; it's just not a good film either. It's the kind of film that keeps you waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever does. There's no element of surprise or unpredictability in its screenplay...

Tees Maar Khan
Director Farah Khan will stop at nothing to get a laugh out of you. No disability is too sensitive to make a joke of, and no stereotype too overused to flog one last time.

Son Of Sardaar
Even if you're a fan of those loud 80s-style entertainers, this one demands a lot out of you.

Katti Batti
It doesn’t say much about a romantic comedy if the smartest joke they could come up with is the name of a pet turtle.

Baaghi 3
...hangs by a thread off its leading man’s strong shoulders. Tiger is the only reason the film isn’t completely unwatchable.

There is a strong feminist statement here, but unfortunately, it’s drowned out by all the noise.
