Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster

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.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
This is a film that's very much like the cold coffee our protagonists enjoy. Enjoyable, cool and good while it lasts.

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.

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
The title of the film is apt-it's a delicious mix of love, humour and romance- all folded in a unique story.

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!

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.

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.

Aarakshan
...is not afraid to take a stand and Jha's sure-footed storytelling is a delight, but what's the point if the issue itself is abandoned mid-way? Still as a film, it remains highly watchable for the performances and the gripping, relevant story.

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.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
You may chaff at the exaggerated sentiments, but you sit through the film, completely involved in the story. Despite the flaws, the film is recommended for Yash Chopra’s magic.
