Drishyam
Stunning, gripping, edge-of-the-seat, shocking, engrossing... use any of these adjectives for this Ajay Devgn version of Drishyam, and you are spot on. There is just one caveat: DON'T compare it with the original in 2013 which had Mohan Lal.

Jagga Jasoos
It’s a cliché, but no other word can sum up Jagga Jasoos better: Cinematic. Well, that’s it. Jagga Jasoos is the most ‘cinematic’ film you have seen in the recent months.

TE3N
It’s edgy, gripping and dark, mostly because of the actors and partly due to the milieu.

Parmanu
John Abraham’s deadpan expressions are a hindrance but he somehow manages to hold his ground. Other actors follow his footsteps. It’s the writing that saves the day for Abraham and Parmanu.

Ittefaq
...tries its best to create intrigue, and doesn’t give the audience a lot of time to think twice about a single event. That is its biggest achievement.

Watch it for the love of independent cinema and brilliantly executed metaphors.

Dobaara
It’s a faithful remake of Oculus and can make your hair stand at times. Hindi filmmakers rarely achieve such finesse in mostly predictable paranormal stories.

Sultan
Going by the loud cheers and whistling it received throughout its 170 minutes, the response has been phenomenal.

Ajji
The mood is right, the tone is right, the pace is right. The film doesn’t delve in the grey zone. There are two sides and you need to pick one.

Raabta
Poor writing is Raabta’s nemesis provided you don’t want to settle for a ‘being there’ done that’ kind of a story.

Om-Dar-Ba-Dar
...challenges your depth, to say the least. You are free to reject the film out-rightly, but you will keep doubting your decision throughout the process, which means it will remain in your sub-conscious as an unsolved mystery.

Azhar
The version is over-dramaticised in stretches but the makers don’t deny any of the allegations, giving the scandal a spin that makes the film an interesting watch.

Banjo
Show patience in the second half, and it may work for you. There’s a lot to like in Banjo.

Mom
The good thing is, Mom does what it intends to: Become a film that can hold the audience’s attention for 148 minutes. There are no intricacies that unfold step by step (it’s mostly predictable, really), but Girish Kohli’s screenplay ensures an entertaining drama.

Bangistan
The premise on which Bangistan rests is very interesting as it brings out the differences between religious prejudices and intolerances without being overtly preachy.
