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.

Madras Cafe
While one would like to like this movie, it’s an uphill task, with convoluted story-telling, out-of-sorts dialogue, no new perspective on an event that happened years ago, and placid acting.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara
...it’s a melange of inflated dialogue desperate for applause, an unconvincing story, and love triangle we don’t really care 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.

Calapor
...this remains one of those films—where the intention may be good, but that, sadly, doesn’t result in an engaging film.

B.A. Pass
It’s not as dark and dangerous as you’d expect film noir to be. Still, you might want to check it out for the few grappling moments and the performances.

Rabba Main Kya Karoon
...the film has limited appeal due to its predictable and old-school story and treatment.

Nasha
This Nasha had the potential to give you a high, but it's not that intoxicating after all.

Bajatey Raho
This is simply a weaker version of Khosla Ka Ghosla and countless other 'Delhi' films.

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

Ship Of Theseus
With excellent acting, stories tinged with moral dilemmas and varying philosophies, innovative cinematography by Pankaj Kumar and Gandhi's sure-footed direction, Ship Of Theseus is a must-watch.

Sixteen
The finale is as cliched as they come. So the film ends up being delightfully audacious but also messed-up, pretty much like some of its characters.

Shorts
With excellent stories and some masterful acting, this ensemble of short films could be just what you've been looking for.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
...a film cracking under its own weight. If only Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra had ditched the self-serious tone and let the film breathe a bit.

Policegiri
Perhaps it would have made sense before the South remake trend started. Now the audience has seen too many such films, and the novelty factor of such loud, action films has worn out.

Lootera
There is skilled storytelling, a dream cast, visual splendour. And yet, you're not overcome by the film.

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?

Ankur Arora Murder Case
It's an issue that affects all of us. And it's a wholesome, riveting drama if you can forgive the muddled finale.

Fukrey
This one just doesn't measure up. A word to all the young filmmakers out there - perhaps it's time to leave Delhi and friendship alone and move to newer pastures.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
Sadly, the film doesn't work - neither as a comedy nor as a moral science-infused family drama.

Ishkq In Paris
With a combo of a great cast, story, dialogue and music, this one’s irresistible, despite its flaws.

I Don't Luv U
...a film that would be unintentionally hilarious, if it weren't so torturous.

Aurangzeb
Call it a retro film with modern sensibilities. Old wine in new bottle. Whatever. Worth a watch, if you'd like to savour the story and performances, and forgive much of the rest.
