  • 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.

    With a concept like this, it’s too bad it ended up as just another horror flick!

  • I Me Aur Main

    Pretty much like the central character, the film is self-obsessed - rambling on without sparing a thought for its audience.

  • I Me Aur Main

    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.

  • David

    The film is stylish yes, but makes the fatal mistake of ODing. So you have at least three violent fights set against pacy music - a repetitive tactic. Conversations ramble on, making no point.

  • Bandook

    This small film with an easy-to-forget title needed more aggressive and focused marketing to get noticed. Still, do sample it if you enjoy crime dramas in an authentic rustic setting.

  • Inkaar

    The film has taken an important subject and turned it into slush. In the end the film is a mockery of sexual harassment, of love, of the ad fraternity and of professionalism.

  • 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.

  • Table No. 21

    Director Aditya Datt seems unsure whether to make a hard-hitting thriller or a soppy drama. He makes a thriller that ends with a moral message.

  • Khiladi 786

    ...here was great potential here - the successful Khiladi franchise, the A-list cast, good music and so on. But debut director Ashish R Mohan makes a film that's a diluted, washed-down version of several such films.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 1920 - Evil Returns

    Ok so this a Vikram Bhatt horror film (who has directed it is secondary), which means all of the following – a tormented heroine, a spirit that possesses her, the romance, some mumbo-jumbo and lilting music.

  • Chakravyuh

    It's the immersing story, masterful storytelling by Prakash Jha, superb camerawork by Sachin Krishna and the efficient cast that makes the film worthwhile.
