  • 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.

  • Talaash

    This film will either click with you or you'll dismiss it - there's no middle-way around this one. It's ironical that a thriller demands your patience - but we still recommend you give this a watch.

  • Aisha

    It’s so rare for a film to get it all together: from the story, to the performances, to the atmospherics, to the music and more.

  • Shorts

    With excellent stories and some masterful acting, this ensemble of short films could be just what you've been looking for.

  • Revolver Rani

    ...a film that entertains, makes you laugh, and gives you food for thought. Truth be told, the film is worthwhile for Kangna Ranaut’s performance alone.

  • English Vinglish

    Watch the film for sure. But don't be disappointed by the 'we-don't-want-to-ruffle-any-feathers' ending. And then, you can watch it again for Sridevi!

  • Bombay Talkies

    Bombay Talkies, with four separate stories, is a special effort to mark a tribute to Indian cinema. While all four are refreshing and interesting, there's that niggling feeling they could have been much better.

  • Dhobi Ghat

    Kiran Rao's directorial debut is immersing, throbbing and full of life. Don't expect a commercial entertainer, this isn't one.

  • Margarita With A Straw

    How often in Bollywood do you see a differently-abled bisexual heroine, one who gets to have her own share of flaws, her romantic adventures, and her journey towards self-actualization?

  • My Name is Khan

    Karan Johar proves he’s set on doing films after his heart. Viewers who turn down thinking films saying they prefer the 'Karan Johar brand of cinema' may well revise their definition.

  • Raanjhanaa

    Plummeting to the depths of darkness and rising beyond unconditional love, the film shows us myriad shades of love – both delightful and devastating. How many stories do that?

  • The Dirty Picture

    ...the film is recommended for the undisputed Performance of the Year. Take a bow Ms Balan; you make the film worthy of a second viewing!

  • Aiyyaa

    This quirkily entertaining film is recommended for those who often find themselves delightfully blurring between dreams and reality, and especially for those who want to get a taste of it.

  • Raavan

    Enjoy this very different take on the story everyone knows. After all, if not offering a special perspective, what use is an adaptation? Don’t miss it.

  • Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami

    Despite its flaws, the film is highly recommended for characters that stay with you long after the film has ended, actors who bring them alive with such sincerity, a unique story, and some heartfelt humour!

  • Chennai Express

    The director folds in the massive stars, the hit music, the humour and an immersing story situation to bring you a fairly entertaining ride.
