  • Khamoshiyan

    ...makes you shiver. But not in fear. It just makes you shake in embarrassment for all the ghosts and spirits who are so royally snubbed and insulted by such travesties of terror.

  • Rahasya

    This is a dark, desperate, sinister, gutsy and gripping thriller which may not tilt you to the edge of the seat. But you do want to know who killed the teenaged girl Ayesha Mahajan.

    ...doesn't rely on too many external props to wean us in its favour. It stays true to the horror genre without buckling under the pressure of perpetuating terror. The frights flow naturally.

  • Desi Kattey

    ...a surprisingly watchable, though at times stretched out beyond belief, yarn yoking crime and sports in a way that we haven't seen in any film.

  • Manjunath

    Thank god for Manjunath, who is not a man but a metaphor for that rapidly evaporating cult of idealism that we thought died with Hrishikesh Mukherjee.

  • Yeh Hai Bakrapur

    You may not be overwhelmed by Vishwanathan's satire. But you won't come away without a smile and smirk in this sly look-see at rural India where every second citizen is a certifiable attention-seeker.

  • Kya Dilli Kya Lahore

    As a director Vijay Raaz, is not in search of solutions to the age-old cross-border conflicts. There is a deliberate staginess to the proceedings, a pronounced verbosity that never gets cumbersome, because, like I said, the writing has a distinct and distinctive 'quoting' edge without getting show-offy.

  • Jal

    ...a work of remarkable resonance. The sheer visual mastery of Malik's directorial debut takes your breath away.

  • Youngistaan

    ...politics need not be a drab colourless vocation. It can be a bastion for the young. And it can be a great deal of fun!

  • Lakshmi

    ...a powerfully told inspirational tale that doesn’t brush the brutal reality of sexual exploitation under the rug.

  • Queen

    There are some films that you simply don't want to end. And when they do, you want to spring out of your seat and give the darned thing a standing ovation. "Queen", directed by Vikas Bahl is that rarity.
