Bombay Velvet
...is more like a roller coaster ride, as it takes you on a dizzy high with its charming ambience and music that is bound to stay with you for long, but later you are brought down not so gently with the underwhelming plot and lack of punches.

Bombay Talkies
Each film comes with a distinct emotion. Zoya’s film has a wide-eyed innocent feel to it, Dibakar’s film has muted passion, Johar’s film is about helplessness and Kashyap’s film is about optimism and faith in the face of harsh reality.

Bol
...makes you think, even long after you have finished watching the film. Something not that many films can boast 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.

Bobby Jasoos
The director creates a charming world that you are reluctant to get out of, even when the film is over. Now that is an achievement.

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.

Bheja Fry 2
Well, all its unworthy sequel raises, is a few yawns and bit of irritation.

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.

Besharam
This film by Kashyap is more like a whimper that sometimes follows an explosion of a firecracker.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
Not a classic by any yardstick. But don't you miss it if you are a true blue Bachchan fan.

Barefoot To Goa
The intention is right — it deals with a relevant social issue of how old parents are abandoned by their children and looked at as inconvenience — but the execution definitely is not.

Bangistan
...has a mighty interesting concept with a good intention. It should have translated into a film to remember, but unfortunately it doesn't. However, there are some flashes of brilliance, which are unmissable.

Bang Bang!
This is a remake of Hollywood film, 'Knight and Day', and for some reason, we choose to make a dumber version of the not-so-great-to-begin-with original film.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
Be ready to want to wolf whistle, even when you have a tear or two stealthily streaming down your cheek. Watch it.

Bajirao Mastani
Watch this film for its larger-than-life cinematic experience, and of course, Ranveer Singh.

Bajatey Raho
The film has a 12-year-old role-playing the head of a catering business in one scene. I suspect the same was done with the direction of this movie too…

Badmashiyaan
One consistent thought that you get while enduring this immature, supposedly funny, too clever for its own good film is ‘what the hell is happening?’ and that thought stays with you even after it’s over.

Badlapur Boys
From what started out as a rooted, believable story, the flow goes on to become a rather too convenient and silly storyline in the second half.

Badlapur
The story, peppered with black humour to tickle us once in a while, reveals many more levels as we go along in this emotional roller coaster ride. The impressive ensemble cast contributes in a large way.

Baby
...keeps you not only riveted but also with your heart permanently stuck in your mouth, through its duration of two and half plus hours.

Baadshaho
...the main culprit is the execution that is so jaded and predictable that even if you dozed off and woke up after an hour, you would know exactly what’s happening on the screen.

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.

Aurangzeb
The movie moves at such a meandering and self-indulgent pace that after a point you stop caring if it moves forward or sideways.

Ankhon Dekhi
Very rarely do you come across scenes in films that make you smile even when you are getting teary-eyed. 'Ankhon Dekhi' has many such moments.

Angry Indian Goddesses
Watch it you must, for the attempt made to highlight some real issues yet presented in a light, entertaining manner.

Always Kabhi Kabhi
Yet another movie with a huge potential, and good enough cast too, but sadly doesn't live up to expectations.
