Roy
I haven’t seen something as fuzzy and dreary as ‘Roy’ in a long time : just what is Ranbir Kapoor doing in a movie like this?

Rowdy Rathore
You take the masala films made in the 70s and 80s. Borrow liberally. Patch together a plot, or whatever passes for it. Rope in a star looking for a solo hit. And you get, all together now, ‘Rowdy Rathore’.

Roohi
What’s missing is a coherent plot and writing. All we get is one cringe-inducing sequence after the next...

Romeo Akbar Walter
The film suffers from its length, and the pall of dullness that hangs over the proceedings.

Robot
To fully enjoy this nearly three-hour extravaganza, you have to be willing and able to buy into the Rajini myth.

Road to Sangam
What could have been an effective clarion call to peace is drowned out by rhetoric.

Right Yaaa Wrong
The trouble with 'Right Yaa Wrong' is that it’s not tight enough, getting derailed when the little boy comes on for his I-love-my-papa scenes, and other extraneous stuff.

Ribbon
But as often as the film astutely touches upon the tough choices, and the problems that can crop up, it leaves them, and us, hanging. You are left wanting a little more.

Revolver Rani
...the Rani in ‘Queen’ won our hearts because she was believable every inch of the way. This Rani, who hefts revolvers and shoots to kill, is neither wholly a cartoon figure, nor completely credible.

Red Alert
Mahadevan doesn’t leave anything out of his worthy plot, which seesaws between keeping it straight and creating a shoot-and-scoot drama, but doesn’t have the skill to pull it off.

Ready
...not that it doesn't have any plot or any sense. We do not expect those to be the prime movers in a Bazmee line-up. But what really kills this film is that its nonsense is neither inventive nor high energy.

Rascals
When it came to full on idiocy, or fun-on-the-run, Dhawan was the one.I use the past tense. The director seems to have gone into some sort of comic stasis...

Rann
...juxtaposes big media houses and large-scale monetary and moral corruption in a style that’s so patently Ram Gopal Varma that it leaves us with a dizzying sense of deja vu. Been here. Seen this.

Ranchi Diaries
...this comes off as a random assemblage of scenes– in forests (that’s where the ‘Naxals’ live), a large mansion (that’s where the bad guy stays), police chowkis, and a crumbling building which is meant to house a bank—trying to pass off as a film.

Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi
...I found the acerbic overhang and the good-natured ribbing turning into something edgier, the quality which makes this kind of film stand out, dissolving a little. But then the director sweeps them up together, and we are back to being bystanders, amused and bemused, all at once.

Raman Raghav 2.0
There are some mesmeric bits in here, which belong to Siddiqui. But those are not enough. Without those crucial elements, the film is rendered atmospheric yet hollow...

Ram-leela
I enjoyed the lovers, and their ram-leela: if only the film had been more ras, not goli-leela, more roses than guns.

Rakht Charitra 2
RGV's intention is not so much to delve into the complexities of Andhra politics, which stay firmly in the backdrop, but to create sequences where death is choreographed in varying ways.

Rajjo
...the film piles up every single tiresome cliché from all similar films in the past, while telling us nothing we want to know. Or see.

Rajdhani Express
Someone has convinced Leander Paes that he can act, and that someone has clearly done a great job, because if he/she hadn’t, this film wouldn’t have been made.
