Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
While entertaining her audiences throughout, the writer-director (Zoya Akhtar, Luck By Chance), with a firm voice of her own, still manages to keep things artistic, without its pretensions; a lot of times, even poetic...

Zero
Bauaa Singh is a severely flawed character made irresistible by his pluck, and it’s remarkable how much Khan brings to the part. And he remains the best lover in the business.

Yeh Saali Zindagi
You leave for home with an exhilarating ride, still reeling in your head -- though not quite the heart.

Yeh Faasley
Every film needn't merit a review. Some deserve little reports addressed to loved ones alone; just so they know you're fine, and that you really did survive the movie.

Yamla Pagla Deewana
Dharmendra is 75. Given no surgical help, he looks it. Sunny Deol is 54. He doesn’t act it. Their audiences moved on a while ago. Evidently, they never did...

Yaaram
Yaaram’s central idea is lost in translation because of poor screenplay and writing.

X: Past is Present
...do watch it if the intricacies of human mind and relationships intrigue you. Must watch for those interested in the art of filmmaking or storytelling too.

Why Cheat India
The writing is flat. The wheeze is ingenious enough to fill a great film, but Sen revels in obvious filmy cliché.

Well Done Abba
This is Boman’s finest work yet. Truly, well done, both Benegal, and Boman then!

Welcome to New York
...looks nothing more than an extended IIFA trailer. It’s not worth wasting your time, money, patience and intelligence on this mind-numbing promotional video.

We Are Family
...the pathos here is produced not from moments, but from performances alone: a stunning Kajol’s in particular.

Wazir
Apart from the smart storyline, powerful performances are the backbone of Wazir.

War
...a big spectacle film, is definitely worth a watch for the sheer joy of seeing this dream pair of Hrithik and Tiger on the silver screen.

Wajah Tum Ho
It’s so formulaic that you can actually put your headphones on and still decipher each scene and lipread every dialogue.

Waiting
Powerful performances and a realistic approach make this a film you’d want to watch.

Wah Taj
At scripting stage, Wah Taj could have been a good watch, but what we see onscreen is totally avoidable.

Vishwaroop II
That indubitably is Kamal directing the film as a director and not filmmaker. We can see the savvy politician Kamal is doing great onscreen. Wisam, unfortunately, is lost in the back ground.

Veere Di Wedding
It may be a buddy comedy but it is not among the best in the genre, not even top five.

Veer
...this apparent period film owes its origins less to the genre Hollywood movies. It belongs more to Bollywood of back in the day: a song designated for smokers every few minutes; crispness, hardly a narrative virtue; three hours, the accepted clock-time.

Utt Pataang
You’d imagine someone read this script and thought the supposed page-turner would make for another low-budget comic hit. They didn’t bother to apply any cinema at all.

Uri
...while the action is convincing, the proceedings are unmistakably dull. The film doesn’t thump its chest as hard as the ones made by JP Dutta, but merely keeping its shirt on doesn’t make this an actual movie.
