Stanley Ka Dabba
...a heart-warmer that wraps itself securely around you, making you wholly unwilling to let it go.

Anaarkali Of Aarah
This film hits all the right spots. With Anar, Swara Bhaskar gets a role worthy of her. Debut director Avinash Das is a filmmaker to watch out for. And, it is a ladies-oriented film. We simply cannot help cheering.

...buoyed by a wonderful performance from Kaul, and ably supported by the rest, keep us engaged.

Andhadhun
...is racy, pacy and appropriately pulpy: alert viewers may twig on to the big reveal, but the thrills and chills are right there where they should be.

It has something to say, and says it with courage and conviction. Gather everyone and go; and while you are at it, spread the word.

If these filmmakers go on to make features, then we are in for some good times.

Tumbbad
...is a gorgeous looking, intriguing morality tale which both entrances and repulses: it’s not something I will forget.

Lipstick Under My Burkha
It is a film to be celebrated. Take a bow, producer Prakash Jha, director Alankrita Srivastava, and the entire cast and crew. And now excuse me while I go looking for my deepest, reddest lipstick.

Jolly LLB 2
...is a pure win. It has a solid plot, a strong sense of time and place and rhythm, and a message that is delivered without sanctimony.

Chhapaak
You look at Padukone, so far away from the dressed-up, made-up parts she’s done till now, and acknowledge an actor who wants to break out of her safe zone, to actually inhabit someone else’s skin even if it’s burnt. Yes, it’s worthy, but it’s also very watchable.

It is a wonderful, grasping, knowing performance, the actor and the star all rolled in one, all at our service, even as they service Shah Rukh Khan’s stratospheric stardom.

Mukti Bhawan
There’s much to like about Mutki Bhawan. It brings to us themes which are either ignored or dealt with in our cinema with mawkishness and heavy sentimentality.

Thappad
...there is not a shred of doubt that Sinha has made an important, crucial film, which shows up centuries of male entitlement for what it is. And how all it takes, from a woman who just wants self-respect, is a decision to say no, Not Even One Slap.

Shor In The City
What makes 'Shor In The City' an instant clutter-breaker is its darkly comic treatment. It makes you smile because its humour comes from within.

Margarita With A Straw
...nothing takes away from the beating heart of the film, which gives us a true heroine to root for, and a subject that needs to be out there, in the public domain, making itself heard.

OMG Oh My God!
The way the film pans out is mostly a lot of fun. And almost all the credit for that goes to the terrific Paresh Rawal who single-handedly makes us gloss over the weaker parts.

Purani Jeans
I enjoyed ‘Purani Jeans’ for its freshness in the face of familiarity, and a story that holds all the way to the end.

Udta Punjab
It has flaws. But this is the kind of film which has something to say, and it says it with both flair and conviction.
