Main Tera Hero
Varun Dhawan is a star who shines and rises above the mediocrity of the material and he makes most of Main Tera Hero almost watchable.

10ml Love
The film makes up for all its limitations with a lot of fun and its crisp 90-minute length.

Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga
A sincere film straight from the heart that takes too long to get going.

London Paris New York
...makes for a great date as you get a quick walking tour of the cities (cinematography by Sameer Arya), all for the price of a movie ticket and you'll be back in less than 100 minutes.

Table No. 21
Can't say if you will like what Table No. 21 leaves you with but while you are at it, you are likely to have a good time.

Mary Kom
Priyanka Chopra rises above a generic script, predictable treatment and an extremely manipulative narrative.

Agent Vinod
While the basics make sure that Agent Vinod is way better than run-of-the-mill Bollywood, our standards for Sriram Raghavan are sky high. This is a disappointment only because we expect a lot more from the guy who takes his time and dedicates himself completely to films.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Farhan’s terrific, the film melodramatic, mostly good but should have been rightly called ‘Chal Milkha Bahut Time Hai’ given its slow, indulgent pace.

Ram-leela
If you are in the mood for a sensory overdose, this might just be your favourite Bhansali film. Else, just go watch it for the leads. They are scorching hot and super talented. And that just might be reason enough.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami
If you are willing to suspend disbelief for the outrageous second half after a realistic first, you might just dig this heart warming ode to the common man.

Shootout At Wadala
...is pulpy, kitschy, Bollywood masala that makes no bones about its intentions: To titillate.

Bittoo Boss
...is the poor man's Band Baja Baraat but with a voice of its own. What's admirable is it wears that poor man's badge with pride.

Happy New Year
...could steal your heart if you don’t use your head. When you wake up the next morning, you probably won’t remember much. Except that you laughed out loud a few times for some strange reason.

Bajatey Raho
...is like that song on the radio that you have heard a few times before but don't mind only because it’s better than the songs playing on other stations.

Lakshmi
A gritty film that works largely because of the subject and sensitive treatment if you have the stomach for gore.

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
As refreshing as it is to see Punjab outside the world of the Chopras and Johars, you do leave the hall with a half-empty stomach.Something is amiss here.

Ishaqzaade
Writer-Director Habib Faisal succeeds to a great extent in crafting an unpredictable first half full of spunk and spirit, but plays it boringly safe in the second, offering no new solutions or fresh perspectives in a story that has been done to death.

Khiladi 786
If Rowdy Rathore, Dabbang or Singham is your idea of an entertainer, go for it. At least, these films don’t have any pretensions of being great, or even good, cinema.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
A new beginning for Hindi cinema except that every other scene is inspired by another film.

2 States
It is a pretty decent translation that will work for fans of the book and those who haven’t read it but given the potential of the material, it falls a little short.

Singham Returns
This average masala cop film takes itself a little too seriously and wastes quite a bit of time brooding and singing.

One By Two
Great characters, quite a few moments of quirk and some good lines let down by shoddy storytelling.

Hawaizaada
...despite all the painstaking effort that’s gone into recreating an era, is devoid of anything even remotely exciting and given the material and the premise, this is a criminal waste of an idea.

War Chhod Na Yaar
This silly, simplistic and conveniently resolved war comedy will make you smile a few times.
