  • Bhindi Baazaar Inc.

    If you can forgive the muddled finale and the film's dated look, you'll find an interesting crime drama that isn't afraid of showing the seamiest side of the city's underbelly.

  • Bhaag Milkha Bhaag

    ...a film cracking under its own weight. If only Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra had ditched the self-serious tone and let the film breathe a bit.

  • Bewakoofiyaan

    The film could have been a modern rom-com dealing with issues of the recession, over-bearing parents, changing love equations etcetera. But what you get are good-looking actors, a few immersing moments, and an amusing sitcom episode at best.

  • Barfi!

    ...is gourmet - probably not to the liking of fast-food lovers, but still worth developing a taste for.

  • Bangistan

    ...attempts to tell a well-intentioned message through humour, and in the end, both are lost on the viewer. The film, based on our novice bombers, is sadly low-impact!

  • Bang Bang!

    If you've seen Knight and Day (Bang Bang! is an official remake), better steer clear. Otherwise, the film might be tolerable, even entertaining in parts.

  • Bandook

    This small film with an easy-to-forget title needed more aggressive and focused marketing to get noticed. Still, do sample it if you enjoy crime dramas in an authentic rustic setting.

  • Bajrangi Bhaijaan

    Even if it meanders aimlessly for a while, the story reaches its destination in the end. And I doubt if anyone in the audience will leave the theatre unaffected.

  • Badlapur

    The film is mainly recommended for Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s class act as the impudent criminal. Other than that, the film has some solid, immersing moments and an equal number that are misogynistic and repulsive.

  • Baby

    The film is full of improbable developments, convenient cinematic license and absurd portions. The only redeeming features are the ensemble cast, a few engaging action portions and a fast-paced second half.

  • B.A. Pass

    It’s not as dark and dangerous as you’d expect film noir to be. Still, you might want to check it out for the few grappling moments and the performances.

  • Azhar

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

  • Aurangzeb

    Call it a retro film with modern sensibilities. Old wine in new bottle. Whatever. Worth a watch, if you'd like to savour the story and performances, and forgive much of the rest.

  • Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?

    The central flaw with the film is its failure to evoke sympathy for the central characters. Having suffered unbearable guests themselves, most viewers will find Chachaji’s antics harmless; even amusing.

  • Arjun

    The film is certainly a leap forward for its quality animation, which we are yet to see in Indian films, but not so much the storytelling.
