Raazi
...is a sensibly written and finely performed film that takes a close look at the ordinary lives of extraordinary people. Not to miss.

102 Not Out
What a joy to watch two fantastic actors working in tandem in a performance-oriented film!

Omerta
...the film never lets you lose attention and the gripping narrative style ensures you are on the edge throughout.

Daas Dev
...this is too much ambition for any film and Daas Dev veers between a love story, a political saga, a thriller and a Shakespearean power game. It flirts with all of those different genres but never pledges its troth to any.

Beyond The Clouds
Despite excellent symbols and good performances in patches, Beyond The Clouds remains something we have seen and had expected. The uniqueness of the film hardly crosses the crowded bylanes. Majid Majidi’s foreign eyes see what all of them see.

Baaghi 2
...is a big disappointment, especially for those who were waiting for a new action star to take over Bollywood.

Hichki
...is a well-intentioned film that will give you ample opportunities to wipe tears, but it doesn’t make a strong comment.

Raid
With a tighter editing, slightly less focus on the wannabe love story and a lesser dose of melodrama, Raid could have been a gripping thriller.

Hate Story IV
...is all about actors thinking real loud in their heads and then cat-walking in slow motion towards the camera. And when they’re not doing it, they are either spiking drinks or ogling creepily at women.

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.

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.

Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
The one thing that worked for Pyaar Ka Punchnama films was the relatability, even if it was restricted to guys-only discussions. Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety doesn’t have that, nor is it funny.

Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz
Despite emotionally charged sequences, the entire narrative feels a tad slow, even at the length of 120 minutes!

Aiyaary
...is sketchily-written and not compelling. It tests patience even if you are a fan of the genre.

Pad Man
Despite being peppered with melodrama and some scenes that go on for too long, the entertaining PadMan delivers a robust message -- the importance of women’s menstrual health.

My Birthday Song
Debutante director Samir Soni starts off with an amazing idea which is failed by its execution.

Vodka Diaries
...is about under-utilised actors and losing a promising opening. It probably needed a more thorough approach.

Mukkabaaz
...is the best film in last one year or so, and this year couldn’t start on a better note. Let’s cherish Vineet Singh and his thickheaded brawler with open heart.

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.

Tiger Zinda Hai
...is exactly the movie you wanted to associate Salman Khan with, so no disappointments on that front.

Monsoon Shootout
A clichéd portrayal of the gangster and crime world is another major roadblock hindering the film from becoming a masterpiece.

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.

Ajji
The mood is right, the tone is right, the pace is right. The film doesn’t delve in the grey zone. There are two sides and you need to pick one.
