Mastizaade
...has no masti whatsoever. This is intolerable cruelty, a vicious attack on the senses.

Manto
In a time when the past is being manufactured to present an alternate reality, perhaps revisiting Manto's unflinching prose is what we direly need. That's the biggest takeaway from Das's biopic.

Madaari
...Madaari's preaching for a better world doesn't always inspire, it more often bogs you down.

Love Sonia
...inconsistencies can't take away from Mrunal Thakur's work who essays the character with conviction, capturing its naiveté, guilt and fractured spirit adeptly. If you love Sonia by the end of it, it's because of her.

Lipstick Under My Burkha
Shrivastava's film is a plea for women to not give up on their dreams and their voices silenced in the patriarchal society. That she does it without being preachy and in an engaging mode makes her film even better.

Lakshmi
It's one thing to show torture on screen to make viewers cringe at the violence. It's quite another if viewers feel like they have seen a film which is filled with unforgivably cringeworthy moments.

Kick
Four people are credited with the film's screenplay including producer and debutant director Sajid Nadiadwala and popular author Chetan Bhagat. But they come up with little ingenious or entertaining.

Kedarnath
...is a hackneyed love story that just doesn't flow. Though performances by Sushant and Sara are commendable, the film leaves you rather untouched.

Kadvi Hawa
Despite a running time of 95 minutes, Kadvi Hawa still feels a laboured watch. Nitin Dixit's screenplay trudges along, not digging deep into what has created the harsh landscape that has made the farmer woes from bad to worse.

Kaanchi
...throughout this unending saga it's pretty clear that she is a rebel without a cause. That's just one of the many problems with Ghai's heroine-centric film.

Jaanisaar
...ultimately the film's undoing - its inability to make viewers care about anything in the film.

I Love NY
...stretches on and on and, despite its best intentions, says nothing new about Bollywood’s treatment of love and relationships.

I
Full marks to Shankar's vision and Vikram's acting and that's reason enough to watch I.

Hope Aur Hum
...barring a few amusing moments where the characters come alive, Bandyopadhyay struggles to maintain the feel-good temperament or make his characters endearing. Hope aur Hum ultimately lacks purpose.

Heropanti
Ultimately, Heropanti becomes all about Shroff's athletic ability and has little to do with his acting ones.

Heroine
The saving grace of this film is Kapoor, who holds her own despite an inept screenplay that is keen to sensationalize rather than empathize for the protagonist.

Hero
Hero is a debut film that makes Saawariya and Student of the Year seem good movies. That says a lot about the film itself.

Haunted
...all familiar elements of the horror film genre. They are present in spades in Haunted, but they tickle the funny bone rather than send shivers down your spine.

Hasee Toh Phasee

Hamid
The scenes between Dugal and Reshi, low on melodrama and high on intensity, are heartbreaking to behold. Bohot hard that you’d need to keep those handkerchiefs ready.
