Shamitabh
Despite flaws, Balki is definitely a brave director who has attempted something new in Shamitabh. The concept is novel and he deserves a pat on the back for it.

Shamitabh
...a lovingly crafted film that doesn’t quite pan out. Which is a shame, because there is much to savour here.

Shakal Pe Mat Ja
I peer at the faces around me at the theatre. Of course, you shouldn't go by their looks. Or reviews for that matter. Watch it yourself. Come on, you can do it.

Shagird
The script may still have seemed quite striking on paper to some. The filmmaker's just never sure when he's diving deep into realism, and when he's completely frikin' stretchin' it.

Shab
Onir’s expertise is seen in the way he handles these characters and their stories - his sensible filmmaking is written all over the frames.

Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana
The film ticks all Bollywood boxes -- romance, drama, revenge, songs et al. But beyond the song and dance routine, it also shines light on gender inequality, dowry and corruption, holding a mirror up to us as a people.

Satyameva Jayate
...is near-unwatchable. It is a torturous experience; a deeply irresponsible, phony and tone-deaf waste of time, a shameful low for everyone involved.

Satellite Shankar
...is a pleasant watch that makes you pause and think if we are doing enough for our soldiers who put their lives at stake at the borders so that we can live safely. Did it sound preachy? Yes, but that aside, you wish it was only confined to the heroic tales of men in uniform.

Sarkar 3
...there is one good thing about Sarkar 3. Ram Gopal Varma is a step closer to regain his touch. Veerappan showed he is not out of the game, and Sarkar 3 suggests he is on a comeback.

Sarbjit
...Oomung fails to deliver a moving, poignant film and instead leaves us with a load of melodrama.

Sanju
As director, Hirani, faced an uphill task in bringing back all those memories in their truest form in Sanju. Hirani does it the way Hirani can, by bringing in the humour and heart in almost every sequence, even the serious ones.

Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar
You'd expect a suspense thriller or a dark comedy to keep you intrigued from start to finish, but Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar misses the plot despite having so much to explore.

Sanam Re
To be fair with the team of Sanam Re, it’s not a bad watch. It’s not a great watch either.

Sameer
It is the well-knit screenplay and crisp editing that maintains the pace and makes Sameer an edge-of-the-seat thriller with a few melodramatic dialogues thrown in.

Watch Saina to get a shot of inspiration, but do not expect it to scratch beneath the surface.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
The complexity of the relationship between Jimmy and Mahie is not a point of concern for the writers. They have assumed that the audience already knows it after the past films. That leaves the two actors grasping for straws. Actually, whatever worked in the previous films is absent here and add-ons are totally out of sync.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster
...admirably inspired, is almost a sophomore effort. As you'd know, that's a pretty hefty compliment to pay.

...it has flavour, a seed of a good idea even, something mega-budget films often lack. But like our Dilli Laundas Eleven, it lacks planning and execution.

Saand Ki Aankh
...is an absolute family entertainer that needs to be watched with your grandmother. Celebrate womanhood as you take home a message that is inspiring but will take decades to seep into our society.

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.
