Anaarkali Of Aarah
...brings forth a world that’s out of focus and needs our attention. Marginalised sections are fighting their own battles in this part of the globe and Anaarkali Of Aarah wants us to be sympathetic to them.

Aagaya Hero
It’s really hard to understand why Govinda was so desperate to do this film.

Machine
Abbas-Mustan disappoints like never before. Even machines will find it hard to enjoy Machine.

Trapped
...is a defining film for Motwane who has become braver in using small spaces and silence. It’s the beginning of a style that we must see in his next films.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
...Khaitan loses his grip before the high-voltage finale. In the end, he submits to cheesy-funny ‘dialoguebaazi’. That could help him in evoking some whistles, but it dilutes the purpose of featuring an ‘emancipated woman’.

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.

Jolly LLB 2
Overlook some of the minor flaws and you have a 140-minute solid entertainer on your hands.

Kaabil
Barring the regular approach to filmmaking, Kaabil embellishes Hrithik credential as a fine action hero.

Coffee With D
A caricatured D and his antics, coupled with bad sound designing, make Coffee With D end nowhere close to a fun film it could have been.

Haraamkhor
Brave and original, Haraamkhor walks the razor’s edge. One tiny mistake, and it could have been pronounced morally twisted. Some may call it immoral even now.

Wajah Tum Ho
It’s so formulaic that you can actually put your headphones on and still decipher each scene and lipread every dialogue.

Befikre
...values entertainment as much as you want those Rs 100 notes these days. Be sure of getting entertained by Ranveer Singh’s charisma and Vaani Kapoor’s French. But, don’t wish for more.

31st October
Twists are predictable and secondary actors appear half prepared. Also, they keep shifting gears between Punjabi and Hindi.

Beiimaan Love
...is utterly stupid, and involves absolutely no filmmaking. It’s made to provide some voyeuristic pleasure, but fails to do even that.

Mirzya

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

Baar Baar Dekho

A Flying Jatt
...begins on a good note, picks up the pace, throws some light-hearted moments, and then faces the curse of the second half. It drags its feet from becoming the smart film just when it’s needed and goes for the all-explaining commentary.
