Bangistan
Buried somewhere deep in the 135 minutes of Bangistan is a smart satire on religion.

Bangistan
The premise on which Bangistan rests is very interesting as it brings out the differences between religious prejudices and intolerances without being overtly preachy.

Drishyam
Stunning, gripping, edge-of-the-seat, shocking, engrossing... use any of these adjectives for this Ajay Devgn version of Drishyam, and you are spot on. There is just one caveat: DON'T compare it with the original in 2013 which had Mohan Lal.

Masaan
...a hard-hitting narrative set against the powerful backdrop that will stay with you long after you've left the theatres.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
...a coherent, emotionally satisfying script; Salman underplaying his supersized image; a heroine with spunk; drama that actually moves you; and tears!

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
...is totally dependent on Salman Khan's superstardom and he pulls it off provided you overlook his in-your-face 'bhai' act in some scenes. It's an entertaining film for sure, definitely in the not-to-be-missed category.

Bahubali
What really makes the film work is that it is, at its heart, a fast-paced adventure, fuelled by themes of questing and redemption.

Guddu Rangeela
...attempts to build a narrative around 'passionate crimes', but fails to hit the right crescendo because of flawed writing.

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho
Not a single thing in Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho makes it worth a watch. Skip this and save yourself from this eminently avoidable overdose of misogyny and torture.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
...is, without doubt, about mesmerising dance sequences and its equally impressive dancers. Trouble is, it's reduced to a joke every time the music stops and the characters are made to talk.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
It’s one of those films which reveals its latent potential and then fails to capitalise on it.

Dil Dhadakne Do
So be prepared to get restless in the first hour, but once Dil Dhadakne Do gathers momentum, it will force you to care about this frustrating, flawed family.

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

Ishqedarriyaan

Bombay Velvet

Bombay Velvet
Detailing is Bombay Velvet’s real deal and that makes it a watchable movie. Also, don‘t expect it to be another film on the line of Gangs Of Wasseypur 1 and 2. This time, it’s more about the masses.

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai
This Sunny Leone-starrer has nothing. In fact, it’s nowhere close to being called an entertainer, something the makers repeatedly promised in the promos.

Piku
...offers no masala or romantic escapades but neither does it bog you down with preachy monologues and gyan on how kids should be responsible towards their parents. This is the kind of entertainers Bollywood should aim at.

Margarita With A Straw
...what stands out the most in this film is Kalki's acting, and Shonali's courage to discuss disabled people and their desires, aims and sexuality.

Court
The best thing about Court is that all the characters have given believable performances, which lends to the authenticity and realism of the narrative.
