Stree
This zomcom ( horror comedy) is a cracker of fun that dares to tickle your funny bones at one time and shakes you with genuine scares in the next moment and in the end leaves you with an haunting enlightenment that echoes with a chorus.

Genius
Apart from Utkarsh’s boyish charm, Himesh Reshammiya’s music, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s flair of acting, Genius fails in getting qualified as a wholesome entertainer for which Anil Sharma is known.

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi
...is a mad cracker of a fun, powered by brilliant performance, good humour and friendly (healthy) digs on our dushman nations.

Satyameva Jayate
...leans and relies very much on mundane Bollywood convention and hopes for an action hero like John Abraham who still needs to land that knockout punch to make the upper cut and do all the rescue.

Gold
After all the manipulations and references from known clichés from a sports genre, Gold is undoubtedly a story that needs to be told, at times when people question India’s ability in the sports arena

Vishwaroop II
...is a passable spy action thriller if you choose not to remember the genius of Kamal Haasan before Vishwaroop and Papanasam happened, though the movie tries to make you remember the original and how great an actor Kamal Haasan is.

Karwaan
...is a quirky journey that has humour coming from such unexpected zones that makes a sly comment on common beliefs of morality while life takes its surreal turns as we figure out what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong’.

Mulk
...it cannot be denied that Mulk is Anubhav Sinha’s best work till date, the cry for humanity, equality, the debate on prejudice, terrorism is bitterly honest, disturbingly hard hitting and undoubtedly an essential piece of cinema which needs to be watched by all to echo the fact terrorism is a criminal act and not a communal one.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
The erstwhile prolific Tigmanshu Dhulia is seen clueless and is betrayed by his own script. There are flashes in between as the helmer displays some fine visual fettle and that's all anyone can do with such a cockeyed plot.

Dhadak
...it’s a pity that this venture by Shashank Khaitan is so divorced from reality that it unintentionally parodies the Marathi game changer at times and commits the crime of killing two movies in one time.

Race 3
...is the weakest addition to the franchise, Remo D’Souza’s weakest movie and Salman Khan’s most poorly designed Eid Bonanaza in recent times.

Bhavesh Joshi Superhero
The first half is successful in establishing the premise and a grand take off ( Udaan) is promised but alas, the farfetched approach, the loneliness of the super hero Bhavesh Joshi, his inability to go all out at the monsters of corruption turns this potential quirky dark and edgy superhero flick into more of a personal vendetta saga.

Veere Di Wedding
...a well performed and gorgeously looking Balaji’s soap opera that fails in giving that ‘charam sukh’ (lacks soul).

Bioscopewala
A movie for the connoisseurs of art, Bioscopewala is that welcome homecoming of the age old nostalgia (childhood memories) that rekindles our faith in humanity.

Parmanu
...unites every true Indian and makes their heart feel with pride and respect and that’s the biggest triumph of this well intended movie.

High Jack
The promos does gave a dope of hope that something interesting in the stoner genre is coming up and the music by Nucleya did stayed loyal to the feel of such genre but rest is disappointing.

Khajoor Pe Atke
Harsh Chayya may have tried to please all in his first attempt but manages some moments and fine performances, the movie which stars as a quirky, dark comedy ends up as a mishmash of everything and fails to get that emotional connect.

Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain
...is a small film with a big heart that, a poignant realism that widens our conception of the term love, marriage and relationships.

Hope Aur Hum
The entire movie however fails to live it up to the expectations and ‘hope’ it creates during the initial reels.

Raazi
...Meghna weaves multiple threads together in a relevant, provoking and conflicting view on war where everything is fair and has no room for emotions and relations.

102 Not Out
...is an overwhelmingly powerful, extraordinarily touching and magically beautiful celebration of life, that urges you to love your life, cherish and share its sweetness as you get mesmerized by the hauntingly intoxicating performance by the two stalwarts – Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor in this feel good gem.

Daas Dev
The filmmaker tries everything to draw an analogous line between politics, love and the relation between love and politics but unfortunately fails in the end.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
...supports the cause in its weird mix of ghost comedy meeting a rom com in a quirky supernatural way, fails to follow the traffic (read genre) rules and changes lanes in its overenthusiastically genuine thoughts that are ‘doomed’ by a juvenile execution.

Beyond The Clouds
This heartfelt and sensitive adage on the triumph of good over evil ends on a beautiful note of hope with that closing shot that stamps, cements and underlines the magic of Majidi we know.

Raid
...is undoubtedly relevant, more human and realistic than a run of the mill political potboiler, it’s a compelling piece of cinema in the end that has a subtle reaction to the black money issue, it conducts the raid (read engages) the audience and makes the noise without shouting on top.

Hate Story IV
Whatever Hate Story IV is, one thing is for sure, either you love it, or hate it but you cannot ignore it, franchises like Hate Story IV will be popping up till the existence of mankind and provide titillations to its target front benchers and earn money.

3 Storeys
This mentality of judging the audience intelligence at their will and fancy by filmmakers is harmful. The intelligence of the audience should be respected and if a different storey oops story has been attempted than let the audience feel the difference, you don’t need to tell them.

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
If you want some unabashed ‘boy’ fun in a movie that gets juvenile in due course then Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety might be your date though it’s not a ‘date’ movie.
