  • Pagglait

    Pagglait’s setting, its characters, their sadness, banter, rituals, hypocrisy, everything rings true and has familiar familial warmth. It’s when Bist has to take the story forward that the plotting gets weak and cliched.

  • NH10

    ...a heady concoction of anxiety, fear, shock and rage to say the least. Watch it only if you have the stomach for it, you've been warned.

  • John Day

    ...can’t be described as an admirable work. It is certainly not meant for the squeamish or the 'Chennai Express' constituency. Yet, neither is it dismissable as an average, formula thriller. It has it engaging moments.

  • Happy Ending

    Self-deprecating humour, charming as it may be, is a rarity in Hindi films and ‘Happy Ending’ is one such film. It takes a jibe at the ‘formula’ that most box office hits follow, even while it panders to it – albeit smartly.

  • Chhapaak

    ...may fall short to an incredible experience, but it will certainly leave you agitated, more aware and strangely hopeful. And that's a mission accomplished.

  • Ungli

    ...if you are looking for a fun ride, Ungli won’t disappoint. But because of its simplistic approach, Ungli is only entertaining, not thought-provoking.

  • Tanu Weds Manu Returns

    Director Aanand L. Rai shows his mastery in handling the small town north India milieu in every scene. While the story often indulges in flights of fancy, the director keeps a firm grip on his actors.

  • Traffic

    Watch Mukti Bhawan for its beautiful thought and outstanding performances but if a pot boiler is on your mind this weekend then happily skip this one.

  • Amit Sahni Ki List

    Director Ajay Bhuyan’s confidence oozes out of the film and it’s hard to believe he’s a first timer. He has a rock-solid control over his characters, the script and the screenplay.

  • 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.

  • Game Over

    ...is one of those films that linger with you long after the end credits and with Taapsee Pannu's amazing and convincing performance, the film secures itself as one of the best movies of the year.
