  • Phantom

    ...it’s commendable how Kabir walks the line between patriotism and jingoism. Phantom scores in a gripping first half that sustains, if not surpasses its pace in the second half...

  • Super 30

    ...makes you smile, it will also break your heart, it will make your spirit soar, and if you have no math inclinations, it will inspire you and make you appreciate its beauty, its usefulness and contribution to the world.

  • Main Tera Hero

    Keeping things largely distanced from logic, David clearly plays to his strengths. He knows nobody comes looking for any semblance of realism in his films. So he keeps it shamelessly mindless and there is nothing wrong with that.

  • Titli

    Kanu's first attempt as a director doesn't disappoint, only if the slow moving film could have picked up pace towards its crucial end.

  • Bajirao Mastani

    A melodramatic climax aside, the film is undoubtedly a quality product, Bhansali always ensures that. But what makes it fall just short of excellence is the lack of the journey within. We never get inside the characters...

  • Azhar

    Contrary to what many would expect, the film is not a one-sided affair. However, by the end of it, Azhar does come out looking like a hero.

  • Maatr

    If you thought you have seen it all from Raveena Tandon, think again. She pumps in so much life into the film that it is her performance that steals the show.

  • Highway

    With all its pros and cons, here’s one of those films: ponderous enough to encourage a snooze but also with its rewarding side-effects. Needless to emphasise, Veera lingers on in the memory. And Alia Bhatt’s performance is nothing short of extraordinary, especially her solo stanzas of dialogue, executed in long takes.

  • Haraamkhor

    He stands out by showing the issue of sexual relationships with minors in the most beautiful and romantic manner. Shlok remains successful without overcomplicating the story.

  • Judwaa 2

    One should not expect logic or a plot when the film was marketed as a commercial entertainer. Judwaa 2 is strictly for Varun Dhawan fans and a perfect stress buster for families this weekend.

  • Bahubali

    ...starts off as a tacky, low-budget, DD-esque film. Even the initial CGI and brushed-out-wire flying stunts are crude and untidy. But, as it moves forward, the story twisting and revealing one character after another, with secrets, mistakes and mystery, it all begins to come together.

  • Chef

    ...has multiple flavours and it comes out as a satisfying dish despite being the male protagonist being a repetitive one, who discovers himself when it's too late like Saif's Love Aaj Kal or Hum Tum.
