Behen Hogi Teri
Like countless romantic comedies before, this film just feels like another romantic film made on a template. Perfectly average, nothing special.

Dear Maya
...is a happy film about innocence, love and compassion. There’s no hard-hitting drama. Just a pleasant film with lots of love and genre fluff. A good film for those who believe in being hopelessly romantic.

Meri Pyaari Bindu
The seamless mix of comedy, romance and drama is fantastic too. At two hours, the film feels like an absolute breeze. Meri Pyaari Bindu hits a lot of ticks on the check boxes. And that is the strength of this refreshing new romance.

Sarkar 3
...has the right ideas but it makes a complete mess of its political themes by trying to be quirky for no reason. Had RGV just stuck to intensity and grit, this would’ve been a thrilling comeback for the maverick filmmaker.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
While it doesn't have the same panoramic adventure of its predecessor, it does make up with grand scale and precise execution.

Begum Jaan
While the movie does get a lot of things right, it just lacks a little conviction in presenting its powerful ideas.

Mirza Juuliet
...is the millionth time Hindi films have tried to cash in on the Shakespearean tragedy. Sadly, the charm of the concept hasn’t just worn off, it’s dead.

Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana
Director Manish Harishankar did have a germ of an idea that could have sprouted into something wonderful if he had taken care while nurturing it. Sadly, that wasn't the case...

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
Well acted and well conceived, Badrinath Ki Dulhania and its socially relevant ideas rise above the frivolous execution to give you a solid film.

Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai
The only reason someone could sit through this movie is for the pretty visuals and the somewhat average performances of the cast. But even that will require insane levels of patience.

Commando 2
Actor Deven Bhojani, known for his comic timing, impresses with his technical finesse over the action genre in his directorial debut. A little more attention to the plot would have turned it into a far better product than it is right now.

Rangoon
While the actors give it their best shot, Rangoon just isn’t able to tell its story with consistency. The movie tries to pack in too many set pieces and ideas in one narrative.

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.

Running Shaadi
...could’ve really been a different comedy. It had the raw potential of a unique and innovative film. But the lack of focussed direction leaves it high and dry.

Raees
...serves up every thrill and spill you’d expect from a commercial masala movie. While the story and ideas aren’t all new or refreshing, Raees’ big play comes from its nostalgic treatment.

Haraamkhor
This film is insightful and dark, a certified entry into the indie and art cinema stable. If you like your films to be gritty and real, Haraamkhor is a real mean machine.

Wajah Tum Ho
With so many confused aspirations, the film becomes a garish hotchpotch, an unpalatable goulash.

Befikre
