Zokkomon
...here's a film that's sweet, funny, innocent and most importantly, talks to the kids eye-to-eye.

Zanjeer
This is an uninspired piece of filmmaking, where the makers aren’t even trying.

Yeh Saali Zindagi
...pretends to be intelligent, but it's just another 'it's cool to be bad' crime caper.

Yeh Khula Aasmaan
The message is timely and important, but the film doesn't effectively communicate it.

Yeh Hai Bakrapur
One of the few films that is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.

Yeh Dooriyan
The film's subject could make for an interesting film, if the subject itself was interestingly executed.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
Sadly, the film doesn't work - neither as a comedy nor as a moral science-infused family drama.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
It may not be the slickest film around, but it's got the emotions and the laughs.

Yaariyan
...with its synthetic characters and artificial emotion has the depth and intelligence of a seedy music video.

What The Fish
This is one of those films you reckon the title and concept is far more absorbing than the film itself.

Well Done Abba
...a bare look at contemporary rural India complete with all its unique challenges and nuances. And told with the Benegal stamp of folding in humour with comment.

Welcome Back
This constantly hyperbolic film- at all times- is loud, unsubtle and silly.

Welcome 2 Karachi
...the film is worth your time for the unique story, performances and some genuine laughs.

We Are Family
...old wine in a new, expensive bottle. It's evident in the characterisation, the dated dialogue, and the choice of the heavy-duty background score where you hear a woman's alaap for the most part; a mainstay in our saas-bahu soaps.

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.

War Chhod Na Yaar
It certainly is a film that makes you both laugh and think. The execution may not have the finesse of a big-budget film, neither does it have the A-list stars. And yet, it’s one of the better films to have come out this season.

Vicky Donor
It's finally here: a wholly original and fresh film that'll crack you up from start to finish.

Veer
Veer, mounted on lush production values, shows you everything in hyperbole: the costumes and jewellery, the battlefield, the body count, the unattainably beautiful princess, and the comic-book style hero.

Uvaa
...the film talks about women's rights while including these sexist elements, and gives a muddled message. However, the film redeems itself to an extent by the story it chooses...

Ungli
This could have been a highly impactful, immersing film that, despite its intent, falls tragically short.

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.
