Running Shaadi
The leads — Amit Sadh and Taapsee Pannu — try to rescue the flailing script, but there are too many holes to plug.

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

Roohi
With a plot that's too convoluted and takes the entire runtime of the film to establish itself, Roohi terribly falters at storytelling, and fails to give out the message it intends to.

Romeo Akbar Walter
...follows spy clichés dutifully and drowns us in minutiae, but never feels immediate or exciting.

Rocky Handsome
...a very average film with some finely executed action sequences on display.

Rocky Handsome
Way too much time and effort is spent showcasing the leading man — John’s body is a no-carb miracle and Kamat fetishises it.

Rockstar
Director Imitiaz Ali manages to retain a personal, auteur's touch in a genre vastly commercial, mainstream. This is a rare feat.

Rock On 2
...might not have a strong conflict in the storyline, but it definitely works as the narrative of a unique camaraderie among the boys.

Rock On 2
So there are elements that you will enjoy, but the film is felled by the undercooked writing.

Robot
This film, just a few feet too long, is fine entertainment by itself. I'm evidently an atheist to this religion, so I guess, you can trust this note.

Roar: Tigers Of The Sundarbans

Road, Movie
The point of this road-less journey remains mysteriously unknown though, given it’s the premise.

Road to Sangam
The questions are still important. They shouldn’t be ignored. Neither should this film.

Right Yaaa Wrong
We already know who did what, and why. We just twiddle our thumbs through what’s Right Ya Wrong. It’s just trite and long.

Ribbon
...rakes up a lot of issues that deserve at least a discourse in the current scenario, but instead, ends up only fleetingly touching these. Neither the characters nor the narrative take upon the evils and the evil-doers.

Revolver Rani
...if you are planning to watch Revolver Rani for Kangana, go ahead. If you are looking for a complete package, you can give it a miss.

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.

Rascals
This one defies a film. You just lose interest after a while. As do the filmmakers. At some point, out of the blue, they just abandon the whole project...

Rann
This is neither an expose nor an explanation. It’s just an exercise in corniness, not very different from the subject of its scrutiny.

Rangoon
Within minutes of the movie’s beginning, you realise the promise of a heart-wrenching period drama was a farce -- a set-up to promote a self-indulgent film that doesn’t know what it wants to be.

Rang Rasiya
...is much more than just a period film. It’s a statement on behalf of people who reject intolerance and are continuously striving for a new India which will give space to free voice. It’s a piece of art.

Ranchi Diaries
With Gangs of Wasseypur, Anurag Kashyap created a genre of dark humour and crime stories set in small towns. Sattwik Mohanty’s Ranchi Diaries is the laziest attempt we have seen in the genre.

Rakht Charitra 2
Regional cinema has its own poetic grammar. It's just distressing to sense, that’s where Varma belongs now.

Rakht Charitra – I
Doesn't hurt, if you can take this much of it in one go. There's another installment on its way, if you’re bloodthirsty still. Huh!
