  • Brothers

    If merciless and relentless crunching of bones gets your adrenalin pumping, this film is designed for you.

  • A Decent Arrangement

    What strikes one the most about A Decent Arrangement is its matter-of-fact tone and cool confidence with which the story is narrated — though the story in itself is nothing novel.

  • Mickey Virus

    What seemed like a smart script, with quick-witted dialogues, falters at many levels and even starts looking foolish and falling all over itself by the time it reaches the final point. As if a good script has been attacked by a nasty virus.

  • Kill Dil

    Here's a ghisa pita story so predictable that you could sleep through the middle of it and still not miss a point. But then at places, some scenes have been handled in a delightfully novel manner that you rub your sleepy eyes in disbelief.

  • Manjhi

    Watch it for Nawazuddin's performance, but more importantly, Dashrath Manjhi's awe inspiring self belief.

  • Singh Is Bliing

    ...if described in two words, is random and silly. But, fortunately, it is this randomness that also makes it a breezy, entertaining film for most part of it.

  • Ki & Ka

    By picking the subject of gender role reversal for his film, R Balki walks on a tightrope, and even though the execution gets wobbly once in a while, he, thankfully, regains the balance every time.

  • Mary Kom

    All this film needed was a bit more guts to chart its own path with Mary Kom herself as an inspiration. But sadly, they chose to play to the gallery instead. Mary and Priyanka deserved a better film.

  • Bhaag Milkha Bhaag

    The climax is thrilling, but only if it hadn’t taken so long to reach there. And subtlety is an art, which still seems to be grossly underrated.

  • Happy Ending

    It is sure disappointing that a film which gives you hopes of being an intelligent, witty satire, ends up being as predictable and soppy as the film it intended to make fun of.

  • Bodyguard

    He flexes his biceps, repeats mad dance moves, spouts whistle-deserving dialogues and yes, his shirt divorces his body once again. Predictable? Maybe, but who's complaining? Not bhaijan's fans for sure.

  • Hunterrr

    Watch it if brazen in your face is enough to titillate you. If not, let's wait for a more mature film dealing with sex.

  • Azhar

    ...you walk out of the theatre with no emotions, no sympathy, except for remorse at having wasted another two hours of your life on a strictly mediocre film.

  • John Day

    The first half of the film manages to keep you hooked to the story but in the second half the pace dips drastically.

  • Hero

    Nikhil Advani had a hit story, a fresh young pair of actors at his disposal and he unfortunately chose the safe route of the same old, with all the commercial trappings intact.

  • Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain

    Kudos to the director for picking a subject that even after three decades stays swept under the carpet. But unfortunately, the narration of this shameful and tragic true story is not as powerful as one would expect.
