Bumm Bumm Bole
...fails entirely because it's hard to connect with the kids and their pain.

Bullett Raja
With a tighter script and an uncompromising vision, he might've knocked this one right out of the park. At the moment though, it's an easy but forgettable watch.

Brothers
...despite its contrivances, leaves you choked more than once. How can it not, with all that unabashed emotional manipulation?

Break Ke Baad
Director Danish Aslam makes a respectable debut with a reasonably engaging film that is watchable largely for the performance of its leading lady.

...a breath of fresh air - a wonderful gift to audiences on the 100th birthday of Indian cinema.

Bol Bachchan
...offers a few genuine laughs, but it's too long and too labored to describe as a pleasing film.

Bol
Look beyond its kitchen-sink drama treatment, and you'll notice it's a brave film with an urgent message at its heart.

Bodyguard
No question it's going to make a lot of money at the box-office, but you have to be a die-hard fan to forgive this film its many flaws.

It needed more humor and more meat, but Vidya Balan comes out tops again.

Blood Money
...a bore-a-thon of a movie, complete with archaic dialogues and stereotypes for characters.

Bittoo Boss
The film tosses around some interesting ideas, but can't seem to make them work as a perfect whole.

Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain
It's commendable that the film relives the terrible tragedy of the gas leak, but sadly, it has few moments that are extraordinary or even genuinely moving.

Bhoot Returns
It’s the kind of film that the phrase ‘time-pass entertainment’ was invented to describe.

Bheja Fry 2
The original film, although entirely plagiarized, had a charming innocence to complement its outrageous humor. This one is dead dull, and a total waste of two precious hours.

Bhavesh Joshi Superhero
...is an impressive, admirable attempt at creating a vulnerable middle-class superhero in the real world, committed to tackling everyday challenges faced by the ordinary citizen. But it’s also bloated and indulgent...

Bharat
...is exhausting and pointless. It exists only to add to the legend of Salman Khan as the selfless provider, the man who has a heart as big as his biceps. In Bharat, Salman Khan plays Bhai.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
The film itself is well intentioned and shines a light on an important figure. But it's too long and too unfocused to leave a lasting impression.

Beyond The Clouds
Ultimately the film offers comfort in the familiar…for those that seek it. It’s Majid Majidi-lite at best; a bittersweet, inoffensive drama that runs, but never flies.

Bewakoofiyaan
Despite three likeable actors in principal roles, 'Bewakoofiyaan' feels lightweight instead of lighthearted. Asthana directs with an easy hand, but she's saddled with a dead duck of a script that simply can't be saved.

Behen Hogi Teri
You’d wish the makers had trimmed its flabby bits; there was potential here.

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

Befikre
What the film lacks is genuine feeling. Yes, even the frothiest of rom-coms need something real to keep you invested in its characters.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
It's an inoffensive but lazy film that barely scratches the surface of this big, bright shining star.

Batti Gul Meter Chalu
This is one of those mainstream movies that delivers its message coated with a thick layer of melodrama. And it works.

...had the potential to be great cinema, but as it stands it’s a respectable film that’s still better than a lot else you’re likely to see.
