Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
You really have to ask yourself about the maturity of the scriptwriters who have clearly given vent to their misogyny through this immature sequel to the 2011 film.

Kaun Kitney Paani Mein
...cleverly touches on issues of caste, scarcity and environmental conservation. And Panda succeeds in doing this without resorting to tiresome sermonizing...

Manjhi
...the movie falls into the trap of being overawed by its subject. It is a tad too reverential and overwritten, which dilutes the impact of an otherwise powerful story of the human will.

Gour Hari Dastaan
Gour Hari Dastaan’s relevance to modern Indian society, where Gandhi’s head on money is emblematic of him rather than his teachings, is one of the thoughts that resonates in this “tribute”.

Bangistan
A comedy that is long on gags and short on satire, with a simplistic sermon straight out of dummies guide to secularism.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
This sequel stands as a case for why every part 2 is not always a good idea.

Badlapur
Raghavan dramatically bookends the film in such a way that you are willing to overlook some of the script’s transitional follies.

Roy
Singh’s un-Bollywood storytelling (long pauses, silences and thoughtfulness), colour palette and controlled drama are refreshing, but the pace is sluggish and the plot too thin to carry a two-and-a-half-hour film.

Hawaizaada
At 157 minutes, most of Vibhu Puri’s film is indulgence and fiction that is trying to connect points of fact. The padding is painfully dull and distracts from the drama, energy and patriotic zeal that could have propelled this story.

Dolly Ki Doli
An entertaining hindi film with a few laughs, quirky characters and a speedy narrative.

Tevar
A number of tropes in this script, for instance the damsel in distress who whimpers and then falls hopelessly in love with her knight in shining armour, are, like this film, conservative and well past their sell-by date.

Fireflies
The pace can be quite taxing as you wonder when he will reveal the point of his study of human relationships, fettered emotions, and final resolution.

Sonali Cable
The title is the only original and catchy element of this debut film by Charudutt Acharya...

Bang Bang!
Knight and Day was mediocre at best. The remake comes with that legacy and even experienced writers like Sujoy Ghosh, Suresh Nair and Abbas Tyrewala are unable to add bang to this bland concoction.

...is faux-righteous, and the punctured script makes it silly, pretentious and technically wanting.

Fugly
Given the wishy-washy story and the inept direction by Gurmeet Singh, the usually dependable actors, Kapadia and Manu Rishi, are unable to make anything out of it.

Maximum
The script is a mess, and the film depends more on stylized shots and plenty of posturing.

Department
If you accept that Varma is spoofing his own films and the genre of underworld action movies, then Department is hilarious!

The Forest
This movie with a message is not for the faint-hearted but for those with a stomach for thrills.

Ishaqzaade
The director captures small-town India perfectly and builds up his characters with requisite vigour. In spite of the choppy second hour, Ishaqzaade is still worth a watch.

Tezz
The tension never builds up, nor do you feel sympathy for any character. In other words, it lives up to expectations and is not worth the time or expense.

Housefull 2
An unbearable and offensive film with a convoluted plot comprising too many noisy characters.
