Soorma
...doesn’t attempt to probe beyond the obvious, even if you don’t know the real story. With 131-minute duration, Soorma presents Sandeep as the ultimate boy scout. A tinge of reality wouldn’t have hurt.

Singh Is Bliing
...has absolutely no story to offer. Instead, what it has in plenty are some stale jokes and moronic background sound effects.

Shorgul
If you aren’t familiar with what happened in 2013, or were looking for a new perspective on the incident, Shorgul isn’t for you. The movie is a disappointment.

Shamitabh
Despite flaws, Balki is definitely a brave director who has attempted something new in Shamitabh. The concept is novel and he deserves a pat on the back for it.

Shakal Pe Mat Ja
...a mixture of crass comic sequences where the audience should not look for any sensible content. Watch it if you are a habitual film viewer and would not mind laughing in bits.

Sarkar 3
...there is one good thing about Sarkar 3. Ram Gopal Varma is a step closer to regain his touch. Veerappan showed he is not out of the game, and Sarkar 3 suggests he is on a comeback.

Sanju
As director, Hirani, faced an uphill task in bringing back all those memories in their truest form in Sanju. Hirani does it the way Hirani can, by bringing in the humour and heart in almost every sequence, even the serious ones.

Sanam Re
To be fair with the team of Sanam Re, it’s not a bad watch. It’s not a great watch either.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
The complexity of the relationship between Jimmy and Mahie is not a point of concern for the writers. They have assumed that the audience already knows it after the past films. That leaves the two actors grasping for straws. Actually, whatever worked in the previous films is absent here and add-ons are totally out of sync.

Roohi
...establishes an instant connect in spite of outrageous situations and extremely over the top comedy.

Rocky Handsome
...a very average film with some finely executed action sequences on display.

Rock On 2
...might not have a strong conflict in the storyline, but it definitely works as the narrative of a unique camaraderie among the boys.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
...deserves your attention because it’s a smartly executed film.

Rangoon
Within minutes of the movie’s beginning, you realise the promise of a heart-wrenching period drama was a farce -- a set-up to promote a self-indulgent film that doesn’t know what it wants to be.

Rang Rasiya
...is much more than just a period film. It’s a statement on behalf of people who reject intolerance and are continuously striving for a new India which will give space to free voice. It’s a piece of art.

Rajdhani Express
...emerges as a highly confused venture and doesn't succeed in establishing a connect with the audience at any point.

Radhe
...is a collage of high-pitched songs and slow-motion shots that made us cringe even five years back. You need to have a high appetite for Khan’s antics to enjoy this one.

Race 3
Salman Khan and company never hint that they’re making a cerebral film, or a film that would offer you anything beyond unabashed entertainment in true Bollywood style. There is an army of actors who swirl, twirl and hurl bullets and dialogues at will. The problem is when the thrilling bits end up comic, unintentionally so.

Raazi
...is a sensibly written and finely performed film that takes a close look at the ordinary lives of extraordinary people. Not to miss.

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

Qissa
One of the best films in recent times, it’s an experience not to be forgotten easily.

Qaidi Band
...brings up a new concept and offers some wonderful songs, but that’s about it. It remains an average story told in an average way.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
...Elephants, camels, palaces, exotic dishes and soft background score can’t make you happy. You need a family in order to be happy. So true, but isn’t it a bit stretched statement to make through a 174-minute film?

Policegiri
The dialogue writers put their heart and soul in coming up with catchy one-liners and they evoke laughter occasionally but KS Ravikumar's inexperience in handling the Hindi film audience obstructs their efforts.
