Kabir Singh
...I assumed Vanga (Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga) was making a cautionary tale. Instead, Kabir Singh actually applauds its pathetic protagonist, and ends up an obnoxious celebration of toxic masculinity.

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.

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.

Kaabil
Barring the regular approach to filmmaking, Kaabil embellishes Hrithik credential as a fine action hero.

Kaabil
...is a B-grade genre film elevated by the blazing talent of its lead player — Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik invests so much sweat and sincerity in this slim story that he forces us to stay invested in it.

Junooniyat
Gulshan Devaiah and the cinematography by Attar Singh Saini are the two good things going for the movie, but do little to salvage the bad script.

Julie 2
In between bizarre and shocking, Raai Laxmi keeps gyrating in body-hugging suits and shiny bikinis. She also dances on a song titled ‘Malasina (or Mala Sinha!) Dikhayegi Filmy Dance’. She oohs and aahs, even unhooks her bra twice or thrice, to make it work, but all in vain.

Judwaa 2
...like the original, isn’t a piece of art, in fact it’s mediocre, but it’s that one film which may lift your mood.

Judgemental Hai Kya
...looks like a slick, snappy comedy but there is so much more to this smart, significant satire.

Jolly LLB 2
Overlook some of the minor flaws and you have a 140-minute solid entertainer on your hands.

Jodi Breakers
A movie can either make sense or money. So some filmmakers strongly suspect. Why did we expect anything better here? We always do.

Jannat 2
Logic isn’t a priority here. Deshmukh is creating an old-school Bollywood film with high drama, punchy dialogue, thunderous background music and villains who glare and maim with aplomb.

Jal
Girish showcases love, lust and thirst in a simply and beautifully woven story. If simple human emotions are your fill, you should certainly watch Jal.

Jail
What we may have liked to know, like with any story, is something more about the hero himself — his past, his conflicts, his shattered dreams. It could’ve greatly helped with the sorely missed empathy.

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

Jagga Jasoos
It’s a cliché, but no other word can sum up Jagga Jasoos better: Cinematic. Well, that’s it. Jagga Jasoos is the most ‘cinematic’ film you have seen in the recent months.

Jabariya Jodi
Director Prashant Singh’s treatment of an important subject that is begging to be turned into a social satire bursting with local flavour, leaves the film stranded with an identity crisis.

Jaana Pehchana
Tell me another movie that uniquely offers you time-travel and lessons in pop-culture history such as this, and I'll hand you over the right side of my brain that seems to me a bit wobbly right now anyway.

Ittefaq
...tries its best to create intrigue, and doesn’t give the audience a lot of time to think twice about a single event. That is its biggest achievement.

It's a Wonderful Afterlife
You cringe in helplessness, to realise, this is just a sad B-movie, merely testing bounds of insanity, secretly hoping for a cult status.

Island City
...is well paced, nuanced and to the point. Watch it for the sake of good cinema.

Island City
This is a stellar debut film, as much for the storytelling as the subtle handling and dark humour.

Isi Life Mein
'Cool' is an oft abused, dangerous word. 'Wannabe' usually follows it like a shadow. You have to be careful. The makers of this movie evidently aren't.

Ishqiya
This road film is in parts, an Yi Tu Mama Tambien sort of bizarre romance, an El Mariachi type curry-western, and a City Of God kind of grimy thriller. Yet, the pungent odour is entirely original. Oh smell it - for sure.
