The Power
...with its creative bankruptcy, brings nothing new to already done-to-death iterations of The Godfather.

Super 30
Under the guidance of math wizard Anand Kumar, his Super 30 turned out to be miracles. Under the guidance of Vikas Bahl, Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 is far from one.

Student Of The Year 2
...is an unbelievably shallow mix of Karan Johar's Student Of The Year and Mansoor Khan's Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, with shaky performances and forgettable songs in an ultra-glamorous setting.

The Tashkent Files
Vivek Agnihotri's target is obvious, as is the fact that the film and its conveniently-timed release is "Lok Sabha chunaav ke liye ek zabardast mudda". Skip The Tashkent Files at ease.

No Fathers In Kashmir
...leaves you thinking of the thousands of disappeared fathers, sons and brothers long after you leave the theatre. And the fact that it is a reality that Kashmir battles every living hour.

Kesari
...is the rousing patriotic film that Akshay Kumar fans wait for all year round. But it is a lot more than just that and deserves a watch this Holi.

Luka Chuppi
...despite having top-notch performances and hilarious moments, the film leaves much to be desired as it only manages to scratch the surface.

Thackeray
...here is nothing in the film that can pass off as cinema. Thackeray works better in election rallies than in theatres.

The Accidental Prime Minister
...is so unsubtle in its disdain for the Nehru-Gandhi family and the Congress, that it could almost pass off as a creation of the social media cell of the ruling party.

Simmba
No one does masala films like Rohit Shetty. But when he decides to infuse a moral lecture into the mix, that is where a film falters. Simmba suffers from the same curse.

LoveYatri
...director Abhiraj Minawala takes the as-old-as-time route of a poor boy falling in love with a rich girl, but fails to infuse any life into it.

Sanju
Given the kind of biopics we have seen in commercial mainstream Bollywood so far, Sanju has definitely raised the bar. Watch Sanju for Ranbir Kapoor, Rajkumar Hirani, the laughs, the tears... in a nutshell, everything.

Hichki
Rani Mukerji is delightful as the enthusiastic teacher with a never-say-die spirit. Hichki rests on her shoulders and she does not let it falter.

Ittefaq
Director Abhay Chopra, who is also credited as one of the writers of the film, maintains the suspense throughout. Whodunnits are far and few in Bollywood, and Ittefaq is one of the nicer ones.

Judwaa 2
...is meant to be old wine in a new bottle. But this is no ageless wine, and maybe, David Dhawan should have checked the expiry date before making the film.

A Gentleman
...makes for an entertaining watch. If a not-too-serious, masala film is your ideal weekend watch, then this film does not disappoint.

Bareilly Ki Barfi
There is no dull moment in the film. Light and fluffy, Bareilly Ki Barfi is no heavy seven-course meal, but it is quite the delicious dessert.

Tubelight
The film is horribly stretched and takes a severe toll on your patience levels.

Bank Chor
...starts as a slapstick comedy with decent laughs, but then goes the thriller way. This is where it falters; neither does the film make you laugh, nor does it deliver thrills.

Hindi Medium
...may use over-dramatised events to make its message hit home, but in spite of its hiccups, the film is not bogged down because of the performances and the humour.

Sarkar 3
The first half is engaging enough, but loses its way post the interval. There are loose ends which are never tied, and by the time the climax comes, you have pretty much figured out how it is going to end.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
The film presents the old-as-time conflict between good and evil, the classic trope of mythology. But watch the film for the grandeur, the visuals and the performances, that have you cheering for Baahubali, much like the subjects of Mahishmati.

Begum Jaan

Naam Shabana
If you want to watch Naam Shabana, do; just make sure you don't go in with the expectation of watching a riveting action-thriller like Baby.

Commando 2
...does not explore a novel theme - it's the classic good vs evil - but the high-voltage action makes this an entertaining one for fans of the genre.

Ok Jaanu
The strength of the film is that it remains faithful to the original, and if you haven't watched that, OK Jaanu makes for a decent watch.
