Udta Punjab
Not only do I recommend Udta Punjab as mandatory viewing, I also urge that the film be made tax-free. Very few films touch a cord such that they can actually make a difference.

Sarbjit
This may not be very fulfilling as a film, but it should be watched for the extraordinary story full of unbelievable love and unbelievable cruelty.

Azhar
There is an attempt to showcase the grey shades of the central character, but the film majorly cops-out in the end.

Traffic
The execution is not sharp and technically impressive. The acting is superb by the veterans, but shaky by the younger crowd. Still, the film is worth a watch for the extraordinary story.

Love Games
...why does an erotic thriller have to be such a mess with over-the-top characters, implausible developments, sketchy execution and a finale that is as outrageous as it is predictable.

Rocky Handsome
But a film can work only if the viewer is emotionally invested in the character and their journey. That’s the reason Rocky Handsome doesn’t work neither as an emotional drama nor an action flick.

Kapoor & Sons
The nuances in the story are reflected brilliantly in all aspects of the film from the performances to the technical aspects like production design, music, editing and photography.

Jai Gangaajal
This one straddles the two worlds of being a reasonably accomplished film as well as a crowd-pleaser.

Bollywood Diaries
Watch this film without too many expectations, and you might find yourself moved the by the characters and their Bollywood diaries.

Aligarh
Watch the film to experience a story that is as searing as it is sensitive. Most crucially, the film ensures that the absurdity of a law criminalizing homosexuality hits home harder than ever.

Neerja
This is one of the few films where the audience was moved enough to applaud together.

Fitoor
If you love Great Expectations, keep no expectations from this one. Else, be prepared to entranced by the visual splendor of the movie, and be disappointed by the lack of emotional connect.

Sanam Teri Kasam
This one is sheer torture for its regressive take on everything, save for a few bright moments when Hocane is onscreen.

Ghayal Once Again
The film is earnest and has a few genuine, emotional moments, but is defeated by an outmoded viewpoint and look.

Airlift
Director Raja Krishna Menon tells this remarkable tale astutely, keeping us on the edge of our seats.

Chalk N Duster
Director Jayant Gilatar makes a pertinent film with some crackerjack performances by the lead cast. The story and its message is a winner, but the film is technically inept, complete with the limitations of dubbed sound and abrupt cuts.

Chauranga
This is an encouraging debut by director writer-director Bikas Ranjan Mishra, who doesn’t shy away from portraying India’s worst side. And then, he adds hope.

Wazir
In keeping with the spirit of the film, one could say this could’ve been a winning game, but let down by a few faulty moves. Well-played, still, for the Amitabh-Farhan pairing.

Dilwale
Rohit Shetty has made far more entertaining films in the past. But they did not have Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. This pair is something special. Watch the film for them!

Tamasha
Despite the flaws, the film is full of mad charm and is all heart. Tamasha is an incredible spectacle of a movie, to be experienced, not merely viewed.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
The film has its faults, but with Salman Khan's dual force (yes, he plays a double role), a lilting romance, and the ODing on traditional values – this one's sure to hit the right spots with the family junta.

Charlie Kay Chakkar Mein
The talented cast does well. But the astute performances cannot save the film that's too clever by half.

Titli
As a storyteller, Behl's biggest triumph is that he makes us care for each of his characters without judgment.

Main Aur Charles
...the makers have taken truly explosive material and tamed it down, choosing to glamourize the villain to a nauseating level. The film had so much more potential!

...a peculiar film - to be enjoyed for its beautiful moments, and to be endured for its bizarre ones.
