It’s all entertainment that’s easily accessible, digestible, and doesn’t ruffle any feathers.

Hawaa Hawaai
This is a black-and-white, predictable film; but still watchable for the incredible child actors, the infallible underdog story, and some warm moments.

Agneepath
If you're a loyalist of the Late Mukul Anand’s Agneepath, you’re likely to have reservations with this one. But if you leave the comparisons aside and are willing to forgive the faults, Agneepath is worth a watch essentially to savor Hrithik’s performance.

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.

Rang Rasiya
For choosing to tell the story of this extraordinary artist and for standing up for artistic freedom, Rang Rasiya is recommended. That it could have been a far better film, is another story.

Gunday
The film is watchable, yes, but less for the unimpressive story and mainly for the Ranveer-Priyanka-Arjun combo.

Debut director Akshay Akkineni gives us a film that's more thrilling than frightening.

Well Done Abba
...a bare look at contemporary rural India complete with all its unique challenges and nuances. And told with the Benegal stamp of folding in humour with comment.

...you'll be touched by this immersing, sensitive story that couldn’t have made it as a mainstream release a few years ago.

Singham
The more things change, the more they remain the same. That's accurate for Hindi films, at least. On one hand we have subversive formula-breaking films, and on the other, we're clinging desperately to the formula as it were.

If you can forgive the indulgent and repetitive portions, you'll enjoy this one.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
This writer isn't entirely convinced by what the film is trying to say, but recommends it for intermittent snatches of good storytelling, bravura performances and great music.

Citylights
The film doesn’t quite work to its full potential. You might want to sample it for the story, formidable performances and few arresting moments.

You may find the pace and storytelling a bit dated, but if you can forgive that, you have a mafia story that’s both gritty and fascinating.

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.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
You ought to watch it for Vishal Bhardwaj's storytelling wizardry, for the beauty in absurdity, for the compelling story, for the stellar performances by Shabana Azmi, Anushka Sharma and Imran Khan.
