Helicopter Eela
In the effort to dose Helicopter Eela with humour -- and it's not that a movie on this subject cannot be funny -- the film cuts down on its believability. The loser, as a result is Eela's journey to emancipation. And the audience.

Padmaavat
As the film progresses, you tire of the been-there seen-that spectacle. You want a story. You want good dialogue, not the corny words you are hearing. You want an emotional connect. You want a tighter film. Sadly, with Padmaavat, that's not what you get.

Running Shaadi
Only if the script was better. Only if the film maintained the promise of its beginning.

It was a film that needed defter handling. Stronger performances. Better editing.

Gulaab Gang
...for a film that is about women who have risen above their harrowed circumstances to help society, Gulaab Gang film has a glaring, irredeemable flaw. The makers claim it is a work of fiction. Yes, there are fictional elements but the kernel and the tale, clearly, is Sampat Pal Devi and her Gulabi Gang. She deserved a bow.

Mai...
The legendary Asha Bhosle is let down by a loose script, appalling cinematography, a debutant director and a talented group of actors who, for some reason, do not rise to their roles.

...could have been a good romance or a good comedy but it's neither. The film is seriously flawed.

No One Killed Jessica
...wish that a film, given its conscience-awakening plot, was more hard-hitting!
