Bollywood Diaries
Director K. D. Satyam surely touches the heart with his realistic portrayal of characters and situations.

Dishoom
This is an out and out pot boiler film which does have its moment where logic can be questioned. But as long as the film keeps you entertained, it won't hurt watching this film.

Mom
Although the production of the film makes it look grand and fancy, the climax is too dramatic for such an intense film. But the one to save this old wine in a new bottle is Sridevi's stellar performance.

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
...is worth a visit for its intermittent sensitive moments. And for Farah Khan and Boman Irani who rock… and roll.

Lootera
...with just some more fluency in the dramaturgy and less self-indulgent pacing, 'Lootera' would have been unforgettable, deserving of an unconditional two, instead of a one thumbs up.

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.

Lucknow Central
...is a riveting tale of prisoners with an interesting premise and some sparkling performances but similarities with Qaidi Band will surely affect the film in every possible way.

LoveYatri
Aayush and Warina fans are in for a surprise, and Salman fans too will get what they expect from the film - entertainment in terms of dialogues, dance and screen presence.

Kabir Singh
...Kapoor who shines throughout. Vanga displays an engaging, emotionally resonant piece of filmmaking.

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.

Jai Gangaajal
As for Priyanka's performance, she will make a lot of female cops proud. Wish we could see more of her in the film.

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.

Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain
...tells the story of the worst of times with some needless “cinematic liberties” that make it a lesser movie, but, perhaps, a more palatable one.

Padmaavat
...is sparkling, extravagant, dazzling, magnificent and wonderful. It’s a feast for the eyes. It leaves you craving for something more meaningful than a mere re-telling of Jayasi’s poem.

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.

The film is definitely a worth a watch as this is a story that deserves to be heard.

Zubaan
The first half is crisp but during the second half, the story moves a bit too fast leaving the audience confused.

...it is Akshay Kumar who ensures that the audiences are glued in despite certain distracting elements in the screenplay.

Kadvi Hawa
...tells us a heartfelt human story languorously, though to be fair, the lazily built atmosphere adds the appropriate solemnity to the narrative.

Sanju
...the film is engaging and enjoyable but it definitely tries to clear the image of Sanjay Dutt.

Bombay Talkies
One is rather good, one is middling, one seems to have missed the point of the concept entirely, and one pays homage to a hero and our cinema in such a backhanded fashion that I wondered why the director bothered.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
If dance is all you want to see, then Bollywood has never seen anything better than this.
