  • ...it's a moody painting that will entice you to linger and stare and stay with you forever. Either ways it's made of the stuff that makes life what it is. Down to the last intriguing detail.

  • 3 Idiots

    The genius of 3 Idiots ultimately lies in its total lack of emotional manipulation in order to engage the audience.

  • My Name is Khan

    To say MNIK is a warm-the-cockles film about a man with Aspergers syndrome who overcomes all odds and triumphs would be to pigeonhole it. The movie has a larger picture-one of humanity, tolerance,redemption and above all love.

  • Raajneeti

    Prakash Jha is a deft juggler. He has so many balls up in the air all at once and he maneuvers them all with enviable skill and dexterity. This is a film designed to impress. And it does so successfully for most parts. Raajneeti is a war cry you can't ignore.

  • Band Baaja Baaraat

    Rarely do you find a love story that is so full of life and bouncing off the walls. Band Baaja Baarat is one of the freshest cleverly written films in recent times.

  • The Japanese Wife

    The minutiae of this lyrical film are not something you will find if you look for it in a hurry. Sit back, let the film draw you into its languorous beauty. You will be happy you found the time to do so.

  • The Japanese Wife

    ...a film that will invoke wolf whistles and applause from its audience. It is gloriously massy. The movie knows its job and does it well. It does nothing out of the box to grab your attention and yet it does. Pretty easily. Watch it for its robust potboiler personality.

    ...is definitely worth watching. Prawal Raman has a steady and non compromising hold over suspense. And there is enough for you to work out bit by bit, long after you have left the movie hall.

    ...rides totally on Salman Khan's magic.Had director Abhinav Kashyap cast a less popular actor, it’s doubtful the film would have the chutzpah that Khan has lent to it.

    ...decent first time effort. But it leaves you a little wistful. We keep wishing that films like these will finally overcome the boundaries of commerce and mediocrity and we are probably just there, metres from the finishing line.

  • Badmaash Company

    There is a lot of quirkiness in the film and a dark wry humour. But while it has some largely interesting moments, YSZ is let down by its need to overstate itself. The narrative is bursting at its seams.

  • 7 Khoon Maaf

    ...where the film could have been deliciously dark, mad and off the rails, it ends up being just a disappointing above average weekend watch. Our hopes for a masterpiece of a film have just been done to death. Pity.

  • Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai

    ...has serious personality issues. It wants to please all sections of the audience and therein lies the snitch. Despite some fantastic screen moments, memorable punchlines and visuals, the film doesn’t really serve its purpose.
