Shaandaar
...a peculiar film - to be enjoyed for its beautiful moments, and to be endured for its bizarre ones.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
With a take on relationships that starts off as modern, but cops-out; it’s the humour and performances that are worth savouring.

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.

Satya 2
A mystery that refuses to be solved, RGV comes up with one awful film after the other, making viewers wonder what’s happening in that mind of his.

Sarbjit
This may not be very fulfilling as a film, but it should be watched for the extraordinary story full of unbelievable love and unbelievable cruelty.

Sanam Teri Kasam
This one is sheer torture for its regressive take on everything, save for a few bright moments when Hocane is onscreen.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns
Though not as incredible as the first film, the sequel still makes for a worthwhile watch for the performances, some engaging portions and bits of dark humour.

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.

Sadiyaan
There is melodrama at every step - from the romance, to the separation, to the mother-son emotions. The kind that could make an evolved audience, used to subtler sentiments, feel claustrophobic.

Sadda Adda
...has a few fun moments, but not enough for this writer to recommend the film.

Sabki Bajegi Band
...it masquerades as a forward-thinking film, but under the layers, is worse than the most low-brow film.

Roy
Despite these flaws, the film is still enjoyable in sporadic bursts for the immersing story, an unconventional lead cast, and the visual flair.

Rowdy Rathore
...is a film that’s good-looking, fun, and with a strong commercial flavor.

Rocky Handsome
But a film can work only if the viewer is emotionally invested in the character and their journey. That’s the reason Rocky Handsome doesn’t work neither as an emotional drama nor an action flick.

Rockstar
...aspires to be a modern-day epic. While not an entirely wholesome experience, Rockstar does have plenty of moments worth savouring.

Rocket Singh
After Ab Tak Chhappan and Chak De India, this is director Shimit Amin’s weakest film thus far.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans
How does a film with majestic tigers, beautiful wildlife and tons of VFX (mostly CGI) get it so wrong? How does a film with a title like Roar turn out to be such a bore?

Road, Movie
Neither a full-blown road movie, nor a story that cleverly folds in the delights of touring cinema...

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.

Red Alert
You’ll enjoy the gritty tale if you can forgive the lack of depth and the film shirking from taking a stance.

Ready
Salman shirtless: check. Younger heroine: check. Couple of whistle-worthy songs: check. Hero beating up baddies to pulp: check. Result: the Salman Khan masala movie.

Rascals
The film is sexist, racist, and highly insensitive. But worse of all, it's a crashing bore. Steer clear!

Rann
...Ram Gopal Varma really had a chance to make a film that could carry its message to the film-watching public. Instead, you have black and white characters comprising the usual clique of the righteous man, the villainous politician, and supportive love interest.

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.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya
Watch if you'd like to revisit an '80s style romance with the songs, dances, humour and melodrama all mixed in.

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

Rakht Charitra – I
Ram Gopal Varma's storytelling has a Company and Sarkar hangover. Plus the films gets entangled in a repetitive cycle of revenge and counter-revenge, so the story doesn’t move anywhere.
