Khiladi 786
I don’t mind mindless comedies. My issue is that this one is predictable and flat and just occasionally amusing.

Kedarnath
This is the natural order of things, the way the world was meant to be: men and women falling in love without social interference, humankind co-existing with the rest of the planet without interfering with the environment in the name of development and human welfare, so that no one gets to ask, “where did you land up in our midst?” because you see, we were all “always here”. Point well made, Abhishek Kapoor.

Karwaan
There can be no more appropriate a description of Karwaan: it is not earth shattering, but it is not bad at all. Which is another way of saying it is an intelligent, funny, thoughtful film and a pleasant experience.

Kadvi Hawa
...is a bitter pill to swallow, and one that is designed to compel us to look within.

Kaanchi
It’s always sad to watch the decline of a once successful artiste. Sadder still to write this review. There is just one word to describe Kaanchi: boring.

Kaalakaandi
It is hard to believe that a film directed by the writer of Delhi Belly is, for the most part, a drag. Despite Saif Ali Khan being in cracking form, Kaalakaandi lacks fizz and purpose.

Kaabil
The kindest review I could give Kaabil is to say it is not unbearable. What it is is commonplace, unremarkable, unthinking and shoddy.

Judwaa 2
...skates on thin ice on occasion, but for the most part passes muster without being earth-shatteringly good anywhere.

John Day
Director Ahishor Solomon is clearly well-intentioned and not without talent, but he fails to bring it all together into a compelling, convincing whole.

Jism - 2
Limp, flaccid, lifeless … I can think of a number of adjectives to describe this yawn-worthy film.

Jazbaa
All the megawatt casting, stylish camerawork and blue-gray tints in the world cannot alter the fact that when it comes down to brass tacks and a scrutiny of the climax, Jazbaa is a hollow film.

Jannat 2
...despite its many flaws, it’s only fair to say that Jannat 2 is a mildly entertaining even if unmemorable film.

Jai Gangaajal
...is watchable. The film suffers sorely because Prakash Jha makes it too much about himself.

Jagga Jasoos
...brings together a range of quality ingredients, but something has gone wrong in the cooking of it. It is highly engaging up to a point, but needed tighter writing and direction to stay on course.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
...fun first half; emotional despite its numerous flaws; and the ending did have me on edge; but … overly long and dull second half; incongruous casting; disappointing music.

Jab Harry Met Sejal
...is occasionally funny, but not half as funny or cute or ruminative as it clearly thinks it is. Hats off to Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma for managing to raise the Centigrades in this otherwise pakau disaster.

Ittefaq
...may not be perfect, but it is clever enough. Bollywood rarely does thrillers well. This one is not brilliant, but it is fun while it lasts.

Island City
Ruchika Oberoi’s understated style, on-point writing and sense of humour are significant new additions to the Indian cinemascape. Island City is a sorrowful yet amusing, acutely observant film.

Ishkq In Paris
if you’re a die-hard romantic like me, then you might be in a mood to close your eyes to this film’s many flaws. I suspect that's the only way Ishkq in Paris would be your cup of tea.

Ishaqzaade
Discussing the music, cinematography and other technical aspects of Ishaqzaade seems superfluous considering the way the film’s fun and seemingly feminist first half is marred by its anti-women second half.

Irada
Little purpose is served though if you zero in on a crucial theme but do not breathe life into it. Irada (meaning: intent) is an opportunity lost to draw mass attention to a pressing concern.

Inkaar
Sexual harassment at the workplace needs to be addressed by Indian cinema. It’s an issue that deserves better than this wishy-washy film.

Indu Sarkar
While Indu Sarkar’s narrative is more engaging than Bhandarkar’s recent works, it is still inadequate.
