  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Youngistaan

    ...thanks to a good script, well-paced screenplay and author-backed performances from appropriately cast actors, Youngistaan makes itself a watchable fare.

  • Kadvi Hawa

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

  • 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.

  • Besharam

    Doubtlessly, this actor loves the camera. And the camera loves him back. Because of that rare interaction, you come out of 'Besharam', feeling elated.
