Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
...has a strange kind of earnestness in its juvenile ambitions. I was uncomfortable with its decidedly women-bashing stand, but I enjoyed the film’s silly, relentless humor.

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

Sniff
It’s a slim idea, and unfortunately the script never feels adequately developed.

Singham Returns
...feels long and occasionally plodding. There are some nice scenes that inspire police pride, but the predictable story tires you out eventually.

Singham
...isn't an unwatchable film, but how many times can you watch bad guys being whipped with a belt? Or heads being pummeled by a bare fist? There is such a thing as overkill, after all.

Singh Is Bliing
Yet with all its faults, Singh is Bling isn't entirely unwatchable also because Akshay Kumar is in great form.

Simran
There’s ample meat in the story, yet the writing itself is weak. The film’s second half feels particularly sloppy, and don’t even get me started on the caricaturish villains. But it’s a testament to Kangana’s full-blooded performance that Simran works despite these complaints.

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.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan
...there is enough to enjoy and appreciate here. It takes a difficult subject and executes it with some flair.

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan
...rises above its minor problems to deliver plenty laughs. It’s one of the year’s most enjoyable films.

Shor In The City
A delicious mix of quirky humor, gruesome violence, and surprising sensitivity...

Shootout At Wadala
...revels in its violence, yet sadly all the bloodshed leaves you unaffected and cold.

Shivaay
...is basically Taken with a big helping of melodrama, and a lot of talking. A LOT of talking. Way too much talking.

Ship Of Theseus
It stimulates the one organ that popular Hindi cinema consistently ignores - the brain! Give it a chance and prepare to be dazzled.

Shaitan
It isn't as daring as Anurag Kashyap's debut 'Paanch' whose themes it clearly mirrors, but it's got many moments that'll surprise you.

Shahrukh Bola Khoobsurat Hai Tu
...the film is constructed around an interesting premise - our obsession with celebrities - but it never rises above its one-line idea.

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

Shaapit
Horror films are meant to get your heart racing pumping. At the end of this film, you'll have to check for your pulse.

Shaandaar
...a wildly inconsistent film that seesaws unevenly between charming and WTF!

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
Predictable and occasionally misguided, but also hopelessly fun.

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.

Satya 2
...is not so much an engaging film as it is an interesting idea that Varma squanders away with a hackneyed script, and an ensemble of over-actors.

Sarkar 3
...is an improvement on many of Varma’s recent films, which, quite frankly, were unwatchable to say the least. Yet it’s steeped in familiarity and an overwhelming sense of repetition and pointlessness.

Sarbjit
...feels half-baked and wanting. But the performances – particularly Randeep Hooda's – keeps you invested in what's on the screen.

Sanju
It’s a consistently engaging film that makes its way to your heart even though the head frequently resists.
