  • Kapoor & Sons

    The nuances in the story are reflected brilliantly in all aspects of the film from the performances to the technical aspects like production design, music, editing and photography.

  • Kapoor & Sons

    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.

  • Kahaani

    Watch Kahaani to relish a suspense thriller with a fascinating story and a masterful performance by Vidya Balan.

  • Kaanchi

    ...the film is not a total let-down. It has an interesting protagonist, an arresting story (sadly told in a simplistic fashion), and some effective moments. The gripe is this could have been a far, far better film. Too bad, really.

  • Joker

    What could have been a delightful, fantastical fable turns out to be a damp squib full of flat jokes.

  • Jodi Breakers

    The story is told with the zest it deserves and is enhanced by the sparkling dialogue. Sadly, the director has a messed-up second half on his hands. Still, worth your while for the unusual story, interesting coupling, and the irreverent humour.

  • Jo Hum Chahein

    Writer-director Pawan Gill makes a film that's two decades too late. With a soppy script and mediocre acting, this one's not worth your time.

  • Jo Dooba So Paar

    ...sharp technical prowess cannot save a non-existent script. The film unfortunately gets progressively worse from the time it starts.

  • Jannat 2

    A tired story with cliched characters propped-up by an OD on machismo, some dialogue-baazi, and a gorgeous heroine does not a film make.

  • Jail

    ...lacks the realistic bite of other prison films and also falls short of connecting the audience to the character’s angst.

  • Jai Ho! Democracy

    Sadly the filmmaker is not on firm ground here, giving us a film telling us what we already know, with a story we've seen too many times already.

  • Jai Ho

    The film appears to be a massive PR fillip for Salman—working on his image of a do-gooder with a volatile temper. The film and his image feed off each other. There's also some token nationalism forced in for good measure. You'll get a lot of Salman Khan here, but an entertaining movie, you will not.

  • 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.

  • Jaanisaar

    ...the tale is indeed a remarkable one. If only there were performances to back these inspiring, spirited characters, and a film that worked together as a whole, instead of delightful separates.

  • 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.
