Kaalakaandi
It’s the performances and not the screenplay that keeps our interest alive in the film.

Watch the film for its world-class action and be prepared for the sequels to come down the line...

Love Aaj Kal
...it's all done in such a haphazard manner that you tend to lose interest. Or rather, you don't invest emotionally in the characters.

Ra.One
...had the storytelling been stronger Ra.One could’ve been a classic. Sadly it's not but it is an enjoyable sci-fi and CGI fiesta that will transport you to a world of kooky fantasy and video game heroes.

Cocktail
A well-crafted, well-acted three-way urban romance that makes you long for more.

Bhoothnath Returns
Watch Bhoothnath Returns for the masterful performances by Parth, Boman Irani and Amitabh Bachchan. Mr Bachchan particularly shows you why he is still leagues ahead of any contemporary star, actor or performer.

Stree
(Writers) Raj and Krishna are known for their wacky humour and they do not disappoint here too. The film is peppered with silly situations bound to keep you in splits throughout.

Why Cheat India
While the first half is logically constructed, all logic goes for a toss in the second. Proceedings get more ludicrous by the minute.

Satellite Shankar
...meanders off course a wee bit, is melodramatic and OTT at times but its heart certainly beats for Indian armed forces alright...

Udaan
Its heart is in the right place. But most importantly, it has a soul and may well make you reflect on your own life and wonder, “I could’ve done this differently.”

Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain
The other message it delivers is that love shouldn’t die post marriage. It’s a problem that’s seldom addressed to in real life and lesser in reel and it’s brave of director Vyas to revolve his film around it…

Sui Dhaaga
Kudos to writer and director Sharat Katariya for coming up with such a rooted tale. And kudos to Varun Dhawan for agreeing to be part of it. He has tried something totally new for him here.

Khandaani Shafakhana
Where the film stumbles majorly is in the screenplay and editing. There is a lack of coherency in both the departments that kind of drags the film down. The film has been made with its heart in the right place.

Shamitabh
...a film unlike any other. Its themes are dark and deep. Its observations are candid and funny. Like any good film, its a mixture of art and mart.

Pihu
Go watch the film for a story that totally differs from the usual escapist fare that Bollywood dishes out, doesn’t have a known name as the lead and yet manages to keep you engaged...

Romeo Akbar Walter
Watching the film is like akin to reading a John Le Carre novel. You have one set of mandarins squaring off against the other with pawns being sacrificed for future advantage.

Bhoot – Part One
Applying more efforts in the writing department would have turned it into a genuinely scary movie. It's said to be the first part so let's hope director Bhanu Pratap Singh learns from the mistakes and does a better job while bringing out the instalment...

Rockstar
Rockstar is not a very pleasing film. It's not easy to decipher, digest and understand. It has its own language. A language of fun, craziness, madness, pain and love. But in its own unpolished way, the film speaks of a poetic yet tragic romance.

Court
Court is another reminder that we need drastic changes in the way our judiciary functions; it raises relevant questions but doesn’t provide answers. We are left chuckling in the end but the joke, sadly, is upon us…

Gali Guleiyan
Dipesh has set the film in the dimly lit, crumbling lanes of old Delhi and tries to convince you that you’re watching two parallel stories occurring in the same timeline. He aims for a big reveal which isn’t required as the film would have flowed better without it.

Bharat
Somewhere along the way, the focus of the film shifts from India to Bharat the character and that's its chief flaw. You leave the theatre feeling underwhelmed...

Karthik Calling Karthik
KCK would've been a classic had Vijay Lalwani, the director and writer, spent a little more time, developing an ending that equaled the brilliance exhibited in the preceding length of the film.

Bombay Talkies

It’s seldom that we make introspective films laced with dark humour. It’s great to find such superlative effort from first time filmmaker.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Great looking lead pair, dancing their socks off and the visuals are pretty neat too. ABCD 2 is a dance film that makes its viewer feel like dancing.

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.

Pataakha
Why do the sisters hate each other -- is the question that pops up in your mind time and again. Sometimes, there is no reason either to love or hate and that’s Bhardwaj’s approach as well as the sudden transformation of their feelings towards each other is just as inexplicable. But these brief niggles aside, Pataakha is a cracker of a watch indeed, total paisa vasool on the strength of the acting alone.
