Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Ayan Mukerji's second film is exactly the second film you would expect from director who made his debut with Wake Up Sid, driven by the pros and cons that come in the wake.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2
It's a weird mess rolling in goofed-ups, shaadi naach-gaana, kidnappings and clownish dons, patented to woo the lowest common denominator.

The Last Color
The film is certainly low on grey shades. That and a few contrived twists in the tale let down a cast that tries impressively.

Teri Meri Kahaani
...fails to find a USP simply because the three love stories it narrates aren't altogether new.

Talaash
...creates its chills primarily tapping into the dark side of the mind, which makes it an unusual Bollywood film.

Table No. 21
The taut thriller shot on a scenic location constantly keeps a step ahead of the audience.

Student Of The Year
The key lies in Karan's storytelling. For all its pulp packaging, SOTY doesn't have a single dull moment.

Shortcut Romeo
...takes too long to unveil a suspense you probably figure out midway. For a suspense thriller, that can be the biggest flaw.

Shootout At Wadala
it is a gangsta trip throbbing with adrenaline rush and Gupta does well to underplay the melodrama so as not to dilute the impact.

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
Despite narrating a fairly predictable tale of love, the film works for the brilliant moments that the script provides.

Shanghai
It is the heartland political thriller that several among the Bollywood lot have tried to make lately but didn't quite have the guts to.

Shahid
We get to see a new Mehta in form with this film, more assured of what he has to say, more in control of the craft of cinema.

Satyagraha
The film is well-intentioned film, its message relevant. Unfortunately, not every well-intentioned film with relevant message leaves an impact.

Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar
The problem is by the time the finale arrives you might just about lose interest, given the overall sluggish pace. For an effort that was pitched as an edge-of-the-seat entertainer, that’s an irony for sure – not in the least the sort you expect from a Dibakar Banerjee film.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns
In essence, the sequel follows the basic pattern of the first film - only the twists this time are more imaginative, the story more complex and thrills smarter.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya

Rajdhani Express
Bad writing comes in the way of anything that might seem remotely gripping. Leander just served a double fault. He has made a wrong career move, that too with the wrong debut vehicle.

Race 2
A patchy script wholly banks on its stylish cast and a more stylish treatment. Oops... was that also my line when I reviewed Race four years back?

Raaz 3
...unfolds like a film that was written, directed and produced in fits of hallucination.

Raanjhanaa
...harks back to the way Bollywood used to make love stories once upon a time. With some imagination, the effect would have been nostalgic, too.

R... Rajkumar
The film does not leave you with a single memorable scene despite its loud effort to impress.

Pranaam
...never had anything new to offer. At least it could have tried narrating its old tale with new context.

Miss Lovely
There is an obvious effort on the part of the film to leave you in a state of discomfort, so that the well-researched plot is fully appreciated for what it is worth.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
The end is one that bars Vishal's latest from becoming an exceptional effort. For everything else it is worth, this is the first real whopper coming out of Bollywood this year.
