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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Thanks Maa
Those addicted to fairy tales and brightly lit frames may find Thanks Maa a demanding watch. It’s hard-hitting, real, raw. Go for it only if you have a strong stomach. On the other hand, since this is the reality we live with every day, we better develop a strong stomach. Don’t miss it.

No One Killed Jessica
...even if there are a few flaws, the film moves you. And nothing is above that.

The Japanese Wife
It's a lilting fairytale, and like all fantasies, the unlikeness of the premise is striking. But then Aparna Sen doesn’t call this her love poem for nothing.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Satyagraha
The film has its flaws but it is successful in capturing the disgruntled, restless and enraged mood of the country, and in fact the world.

It’s a delectable biryani masterfully prepared, and full of subtle flavours and heart.

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?

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
...humorous it is, even if in parts. Worth a watch, if you’re not very high-brow or prudish when it comes to humour.

Murder 3
Worth a watch if you're in the mood for a decent suspense film - served Bhatt style!
