A Flying Jatt
...begins on a good note, picks up the pace, throws some light-hearted moments, and then faces the curse of the second half. It drags its feet from becoming the smart film just when it’s needed and goes for the all-explaining commentary.

Befikre
...values entertainment as much as you want those Rs 100 notes these days. Be sure of getting entertained by Ranveer Singh’s charisma and Vaani Kapoor’s French. But, don’t wish for more.

Jai Gangaajal
...is just another attempt at making a blockbuster, but it lacks the depth of Gangaajal and Apharan.

Commando 3
With the story and the message that the director intended to convey, it could have been easily wrapped up in a crisp hour and a half, but brevity doesn’t seem to be the strong point here. Only time when you feel adrenaline rush is when bones break and the background score amps up.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
...offers little in terms of story and fails to get the audience empathise or feel for the characters and events in the movie. What it does offer is brilliance in the name of Ranbir and Anushka

Love Aaj Kal
...is a film that’s for the millennials only because it’s a modern day love story but even then, it needed a way better treatment.

Roy
Its story is an absolute drag, and eventually ends up losing the plot much before the film ends.

Kill Dil
...it falls flat at the most crucial point, its story. Kill Dil gives you an extremely predictable story.

Jab Harry Met Sejal
From the title to its climax, everything screams ‘been there, done that.’

Allah Ke Banday
The gangs and their slums are not the same anymore. This would be a minor issue if the picture's setting wasn’t completely the point itself. It unfortunately is. There is no other story. Well. Too bad.

Luv Ka The End
This is just an XL sheet movie from a supposed docket that defines youth as some condescending, amorphous term from marketing alone. The filmmakers are desperately trying to look in from the distant outside.

Kaanchi
...has a soul that is lacking in a lot of films today. It has a message also, which one can take back home. What it lacks is the grip, the magic and the experience of a Bollywood film.

Saala Khadoos
...avoid this grumpy drama if you are looking for a good sports film. If you must, watch it for Madhavan’s power-packed performance.

Dil Juunglee
...is an age-old story, told with a hundred stereotypes, none of which helps it. It is only Taapsee’s charming presence and Saqib’s earthiness that keep us entertained.

Ajab Gazabb Love
...an extremely dated film, one that requires the complete suspension of logic, disbelief and high standards of humour.

Ishqedarriyaan
This is an ideal film for die-hard romantics who believe that good things happen to good people.

India‘s Most Wanted
All this film needed to be was smart. It is thorough — there is much waiting around and scrutiny of agents and potential double-agents — but for a film about intelligence, this isn’t particularly bright.

City Of Gold
Never mind a generic trivialisation of an important mill workers’ issue, though that's disturbing enough. You’d imagine at least the family’s backdrop is essential to this plot. It isn’t.

Kaalakaandi
Every other actor -- be it Shobhita, Neil Bhoopalam or Amyra -- falls victim to an ill-thought, half-baked screenplay. Kaalakaandi, nonetheless, has its moments and Saif Ali Khan’s uninhibited performance tops the list.

Khandaani Shafakhana
It’s as if the filmmakers were instructed to amp up the drama to increase the storytelling stakes — I keep picturing producers and executives asking for more conflict, the way characters in this film want more ghee on their parathas — and that hurts this film’s simple, good-natured spirit.

Red Alert
The movie, dull on drama, doesn’t take a stand. The backdrop is its only purpose, and doubles up for its skeletal plot.

Ra.One
A year of relentless hustling, hype and expectations inevitably numb achievements, whatever they are, into the obvious. You wish to figure if this was worth this much fuss. Look at the film. The fuss was necessary!

Dil Dhadakne Do
There is hardly any takeaway from Dil Dhadakne Do and its characters are not likely to stay with you for long.
