D-Day
A gripping, racy, well-paced thriller that is populist, reductionist and politically naive.

Citylights
A decent, harmless but toothless remake of the brilliant Filipino film Metro Manila.

Chakravyuh
...is one of those films that makes us wish Jha had treated this like an arthouse film and taken the effort to humanise every character in a way we would empathise with their motivations and kept it real. But the way it plays out, it’s been done to death.

Bumboo
A wannabe Bheja Fry, this crass, scatalogical humour-infested stagey remake is just about funny enough to make you source out the French original Lemmerdeur "A Pain in the Ass".

Bullett Raja
Dhulia here is not paying tribute to the B movie in his own distinctive style. He is announcing himself to be a B movie maker with Bullett Raja. Or maybe he tried tribute but has been unable to lend this an iota of creativity or class.

Boss
Yet another tribute to the escapist entertainers of yore? Ok then, this kind of lazy filmmaking deserves to be hit. With a scale.

Bombay Talkies
It’s cinema that’s not afraid to come out of the closet. Filmmaking that is brave enough to wipe off the make-up. Storytelling that’s brutally honest. Treatment that is refreshingly candid.

Bol Bachchan
If you liked Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Golmaal, which you sure did, you would want to protest this assault on one of the effortlessly funny films of all time. Here, the effort shows in every scene.

Blood Money
A sincere Kunal Khemu aside, this is a cheesy, predictable, over-the-top adult-rated modern-day adaptation of Hansel and Gretel.

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.

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.

Besharam
An old-fashioned masala film that winks at the seventies and the eighties but ends up looking dated.

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.

Alone
Bipasha Basu, however, has become the Bhai of the horror film genre, minus the box office appeal, of course. You can easily switch scenes between her films and nobody would even know. They all have Bipasha doing exactly the same thing.

Aiyyaa
Wake up-um, makers... and smell the oothappam. This is not a plot-um that lends itself to be watched for this long-um.

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.

Action Jackson
While most of it, especially the second half, is so deliciously bad that it is good, the first feels a little heavy and staid featuring what looks like leftover footage from R. Rajkumar, especially with a Shahid cameo.

3 Idiots
...delivers an entertaining narrative that shifts gears between comic-book humour and heavy-duty drama with ease.

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.

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