Love Aaj Kal
...is an audacious, if flawed, ode to love as a quest for happiness and self-realization that often triggers conflicting emotions and unsettling impulses but never fails to enrich the soul.

Lootera
...a Bollywood miracle – a rare Mumbai film that is mounted on a lavish scale and yet dares not to play by the established norms of the marketplace.

Lipstick Under My Burkha
...busts many a myth and serves the purpose of lifting the haze of prudery that generally surrounds the portrayal of women in Hindi cinema. It throws the whole shebang into the pot – the result is a big, big bang that is bound to ring in our ears for a long, long time.

Lekar Hum Deewana Dil
A tiresome tale of a pair of barely-out-of-their-teens lovers who elope before they are ready for the resultant ordeal, Lekar Hum Deewana Dil is a runaway mess.

Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana

Laal Kaptaan
...an overlong film that takes a circuitous route to its climax and spends an awfully long time to get there...

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
The film is ostensibly targeted at the teen segment and it might even find some takers there. But it barely passes muster as a sex comedy. It’s crude, crass and completely clueless.

Krrish 3
It passes muster because of the consistently high quality of its CGI and the undeniable power of a known franchise.

Kismet Love Paisa Dilli
The makers of KLPD might as well, as a statutory warning, have added another letter to the title to denote ASSAULT. Yes, this wannabe comic thriller is an all-out assault on the senses.

Kill Dil
It simply doesn't have enough soul and substance to be able to go all the way to the finish line with its grand design in one piece.

Kick
...provides a kick only sporadically. For Salman Khan fans, that should be good enough.

Ki & Ka
With its promising premise undermined by erratic execution, Ki And Ka is only intermittently watchable.

Khoobsurat
It is both funny and flashy, but its many flourishes are delivered in measures that religiously avoid excess.

Khiladi 786
...has nothing new to offer. It is cut from the same cloth that has yielded many of Akshay Kumar's recent vehicles. These films have sought to cash in on his rough and rowdy screen persona.

Khandaani Shafakhana
Watch the film not just for the tricky theme it tackles, but also for the way it does so.

Kesari
...has enough self-sustaining fire to be a well-above-average film. And with Akshay Kumar doing the heavy lifting with unwavering enthusiasm, the star's fans will find it easy to get into the swing of this tale of extraordinary courage in the face of daunting adversity.

Kalank
...has unmistakable contemporary resonance because it celebrates the transformative power of love in the time of rampant hatred. The film is worth a viewing not only for what it says, but also for how it packages its pacifist statement.

Kabir Singh
...is a hugely problematic film. The bloated, overlong love story seeks to lend a veneer of normality to acts of dreadful delinquency and sickening misogyny by painting an empathetic portrait of a wayward doctor who lets heartbreak get the better of him, in the process endangering the life of a patient every time he picks up a scalpel to perform a surgery.
