  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster

    ...a wholesome, hugely satisfying film after a long time. Those who like their stories slightly twisted will love this Machiavellian story with delicious dark humour.

  • Ram-leela

    ...a film where you can enjoy the imagery, the intensity, performances and chemistry, and forgive the excesses.

  • Ek Tha Tiger

    ...this is the kind of film that doesn’t get into the high or low-brow argument. It’s a simple story, told with conviction and with enough star-value and action to keep everyone happy.

  • 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.

  • NH10

    ...unrepentantly dark, gritty and gruesome. And you still watch with rapt attention, as the story that is unfolding is so deliciously intense and the performance by the leading lady so earnest and untethered.

  • Masaan

    ...the film must be watched for it is as path-breaking as it is predictable, as brutal as it is tender, and as cynical as it is romantic!

  • I Am Kalam

    ...is yet another superlative children's film this year. Go watch this hearty film that lingers with you long after.
