Jawaani Jaaneman
...the well-acted and well-crafted Jawaani Jaaneman is a light-hearted treatise on owning up to life’s responsibilities. This frothy comedy is total paisa vasool indeed.

Jai Gangaajal
It’s a pure masala entertainer with vigilante justice by the masses as its main course. It does try to say that it’s hard to control the fire when the mob grows on rampage.

Jagga Jasoos
...could have been so much more. But it just feels like a long and winding screenplay that tries to fit in too many clever ideas

Jack And Dil
The cinematography, editing, even music are strictly average fare. The writing, as said earlier, is in total shambles.

Jabariya Jodi
...while Jabariya Jodi is saying all the right things, it falters in the execution. Better attention to detail would really have made a wealth of difference for the film.

Jab Harry Met Sejal
...the spunky music and the exotic locales of Prague, Budapest, Frankfurt, Lisbon and other random cities in Europe make JHMS a vivid and engrossing watch.

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
...the sheer indulgence with which Milap Zaveri turns what could have been a simple love story into a barrage of caricatures hamming all the way is disappointing. The film has very few moments that impress.

Ittefaq
...is a solid modern whodunit. It looks as slick as any Hollywood production. Even with its mistakes, the crime mystery manages to impress with its logical and clinical writing.

It's a Wonderful Afterlife
This is just the sort of film that makes you wonder - Who funded this trash? Who put their faith and their money where their brain should be? And why should we tolerate such unacceptable cinema?

Island City
You need to have an appetite for Isaac Asimov kind of sci-fi coupled with a taste for fine cinema. Else you’ll find yourself a little lost in the detailed and very dystopian world of this film.

Isi Life Mein
Conflict of any kind; emotional, romantic or even fundamental is absent completely. There's so much of pristine goodness that it becomes unreal, almost surreal.

Ishqiya
Ishqiya’s Achilles heel is akin to that of its lead characters. It succumbs to the greed of wanting too much but has only a vague notion as to how to get it. Keeping it simple may have helped.

Ishqeria
There is a line in the film -- Sabko confuse karna band kar do. That was the director talking to herself but alas she didn’t listen to her own advice.

Ishkq In Paris
Writers Prem Raj and Preity Zinta have watched too much of the Before Sunrise, Before Sunset films. But have failed to realise that the concept doesn’t work that well with Indian characters and sensibilities.

Ishaqzaade
A hard hitting love saga Ishaqzaade is a fantastic Indian adaptation of Romeo And Juliet.

Irada
For a film that had a subject as relevant as that of Udta Punjab, this movie turns out to be a major let down.

Inkaar
...good performances can give you a watchable film, but not a believable story. And that is the big letdown in Inkaar. The film’s logic and the climax just don’t make sense.

Indu Sarkar
...is no satire or subliminal piece on the history of Indian politics. It takes too many cinematic liberties, but thankfully its focus on the strong female lead lends it credibility and keeps the jingoism curbed.

India‘s Most Wanted
You walk out of the film with a swelling sense of pride for the country and its brave men. But you can’t help wish the film was intelligently crafted rather than just banking on nationalist fervour.

I Hate Luv Storys
The film never equals the sum of all its part, but it’s impossible to deny the energy with which it keeps the plot ticking on.

I Am Kalam

The big bugbear for the film remains its run time of 3 hours and ten minutes. Hopefully, the technical wizardry will be enough to make the audience forgive this lapse …

Humshakals
Juvenile humour and racist remarks aside (which Humshakals has plentiful) this film assumes watching mentally unstable people and their loony behavior is entertainment.
