Student Of The Year 2
...is just a silly, formulaic film with stock characters who are just pretty to ogle. It's a bit crude, a lot illogical and you might have to be in a certain state of mind to enjoy a film this silly.

Student Of The Year
Unpretentiousness is the key. Karan Johar serves a candy floss package which leaves a sweet aftertaste.

Street Dancer 3D
...true to the simple minded genre of let’s-dance-to-challenge-and-conquer-all, is a chitrahar of grand, impressive, foot-tapping dance performances strung together by a very silly but melodramatic story that carries a moral — love all, hate none.

Stree
...has a lot to like about - it is funny, spooky, crazy and a little bit different. It has some really interesting ideas; its execution is less than stellar, but it still works.

Special 26
The premise of the project had potential, but it comes off as far too fanciful and uneven in its tenor...

Soorma
If you are looking for an unusual story of an unsung hero, go and watch Soorma. Promise, it’s not a glorification of an Indian sportsman on silver screen.

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
It could be easily be called as the third instalment of Punchnama series, but bromance brewing in it makes it a good watch this weekend.

Sonchiriya
...is a film of searing sincerity and insight, whose central characters are drawn with real complexity.

Sonali Cable
The laughs are unintentional, the swag flops and eventually all that remains is just a bad film, which is hard to sit through.

Son Of Sardaar
...this purported entertainer may be a notch above Rowdy Rathore and Ready, but that’s it.

Son Of Sardaar
...is one big déjà vu. Not because it is a sequel to an earlier Rohit Shetty blockbuster, but because the film is riddled with clichés and tried-and-tested antics.

Singh Saab The Great
Snag is that both in the writing and the direction, the topic doesn’t move beyond mouthing the age-old cliches.

Singh Is Bliing
I watched most Singh is Bling recoiling from the screen despite the fact that Akshay Kumar’s comic timing is good and his big boy goofiness adorable.

Simran
Director Hansal Mehta is a brilliant director who handles such a simple story with great conviction. The film might lack on an extraordinary plot but it has the funniest of dialogues.

Simmba
...is just another serviceable action movie that tastes like salted popcorn. It tastes good while it lasts, but eventually you end up rather dry and thirsty. It is all about glam and no substance.

Shuddh Desi Romance
An absolutely engrossing shaadi caper for starters which fizzles out into a shallow sermon on the institution of marriage, or the lack of it.

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan
The highlight of the film are its dialogues written by Hitesh Kewalya. You will find each and every dialogue to be clap or whistle worthy.

Shorgul
It could be a lesson in inept filmmaking that counts too heavily on dialoguebaazi that went out of fashion in ’80s.

Shootout At Wadala
Gratifyingly, Sanjay Gupta doesn’t glorify Manya Surve. He is presented as someone whose life spiralled out of control, more of a doomed figure than a wonder hero. And that’s what makes 'Shootout at Wadala', quite a few cuts above the commonplace.

Shivaay
... is so steeped in self importance so awed by its own intended grandeur it seems to forget there is a story to tell.

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi

Ship Of Theseus
Here are three stories well told, signifying independent cinema’s coming of age.

Shikara
The problem with Shikara is not that it wants to tell the story of a people forced out of their homes. But that it paints the common Kashmiri Muslim as a colluder, an active one at that.

Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene
It actually has a strong, interesting plot. But, unfortunately, it places at the centre of its story the two worst possible non-actors.

Shanghai
Why Dibakar Bannerjee went derivative is a conundrum, especially when he has a 1,001 real-life stories to tell around him.

Shamitabh
Shamitabh’s strength lies in the mighty performances of its two leading men, which to a large extent fill the holes in the plot and allow us to look beyond the many flights of fancy.

Shab
An avoidable and disappointing affair, especially if you hold an expectation of a typical Onir film.

Shaandaar
The film is largely unreal, exaggerated and a not-so-Shaandaar continuation of Bahl’s work.
