  • Chhota Bheem: Kung Fu Dhamaka

    ...is a great looking animation and good entertainment, that is piously designed for its target younger audience and it doesn,t makes any extra effort to please the adults because they get involved as well.

  • Chhapaak

    ...painfully confronts a devastating truth and it’s heartfelt throughout. Deepika Padukone anchors this incredibly courageous, soul stirringly uplifting & beautiful story of life and hope that stays with you.

  • Chef

    ...fails to give the 'burps' of satisfaction expected from a good enjoyable meal. The Indian thali served in Chef definitely has couple of delicious dishes to relish but the overall experience leaves us hungry for more.

  • Bypass Road

    ...has glaring loopholes but the sheer determination of the duo to please the traditional/loyal fans of whodunit thrillers is unshakable in this snaky, twisty ride.

  • Bombairiya

    ...Pia Sukanya is a welcome addition to the quirky list of Bollywood helmers who have a vision and the capacity to say something what they believe in.

  • 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.

  • Bhoot – Part One

    ...is a decent sonically atmospheric scare fest having Vicky Kaushal delivering an ‘arresting’ act. It offers something different from the routine Bollywood scares.

  • Bhoomi

    Call it eagerness or the pressure to make a befitting statement on womanhood, the director Omung along with his writer Raaj Shaandilyaa find themselves jumbled in the examples set by Pink, Mom and the deja vu becomes unavoidable.

  • 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.

  • Bharat

    ...could have been a masterpiece if it was served with some reality but still this grand Eid bonanza starring superstar Salman Khan is an emotionally touching ode to a good human, true Indian, fatherhood, brotherhood, peace, harmony, good virtues, family and how all these when come together can make a great nation.

  • 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.

  • Begum Jaan

    A plot that could have been a powerful eye opening metaphor on 'mata' (read women) and 'bharat mata' turns into a disturbing, over blown, deliberately hysterical and forcefully sensational misadaptation of the brilliant National award winning Bengali film Rajkahini.

  • Befikre

    ..a.dds nothing innovative to Bollywood's rom-com genre in its plot and just fulfills the dharma (duty) of a rom-com to please its 25 and less aged target audience who are not that demanding as far as their cinema (read movie outing) is concerned.

  • Batti Gul Meter Chalu

    There is an undercurrent of satire throughout as it begins with a comment on Vikas and Anand (growth and happiness). The movie is exceptionally performed by the main characters who power the cause of the film.

    Sep 2018
  • Batla House

    ...is a massy/crowd pleasing distillation of Operation Batla House that manages to share some facts on heroisms, valour, faith, religion and the politics behind.

  • Bank Chor

    Its not that Bank Chor doesn't aim for a cinematic statement, it does, the maker has tried to make a comment on the cultural and other divides in this film but it's so juvenile that it hardly registers and ends up a mockery - a joke on itself.

  • Banjo

    Banjo at the most and in all generosity is a TIME PASS only if you love Riteish Deshmukh more than anything else.

    Sep 2016
  • Bala

    ...is the best coming of age drama to come to Bollywood in recent years, having Ayushmann Khurrana giving his best, Yami Gautam at her charming best and a class apart Bhumi Pednekar...

  • Badla

    Ruled by exceptional performances, The Sujoy Ghosh directed movie is a movie that transcends the normal constraints of its genre and is worth your investment of both time and attention.

  • Badhaai Ho

    ...is a rib tickling family comedy that shoots down the traditional mundane mindset of love, age, romance, relationships and more..
