Break Ke Baad
...the film is subversive enough and remains endearingly exciting for most parts.

Agneepath
Would this movie have the same impact on the young as did Anand's incredible Hum (1991) for the generation before? No. Would this Agneepath suffice still? Yes.

Chakravyuh
...is, ultimately, a victim of typical Bollywood excesses. A little more subtlety, a little less jingoism, and it might have worked better.

Welcome 2 Karachi
...has no definitive momentum as it keeps oscillating between funny, average and dull moments.

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.

De De Pyaar De
There is genuine fodder for situational comedy, but debutant director Akiv Ali can’t strike the balance between clever humour and broad farce, making something that wants to be intelligent but looks (and sounds) like a Priyadarshan slapstick climax.

Pati Patni Aur Woh
...is funny, watchable and problematic at places, but who intends to learn a message or two from a film that trivializes an issue like infidelity and make it sound funny?

NH10
Navdeep Singh nails it in the first half, but the second half lacks the same fluidity and penetration power. NH10 displays a great potential and then fails to capitalise on it.

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.

Tamasha
Imtiaz is a fabulously talented director but eventually it proves to be too much messaging for one film

One Night Stand
...is still an average film with a run-of-the-mill theme. It, however, is one of the better finished products with a similar recipe.

Tiger Zinda Hai

Bhoot – Part One
...has its high and low points, but doesn’t leave you craving for more. Watch it for a good performance from Vicky Kaushal but avid lovers of the genre will go back disappointed.

Lucknow Central
...fails to utilise its resources, especially Diana Penty, and loses out on a chance to become a really engaging film.

Laal Kaptaan
The film, having established its time and mood, meanders. The punch to the gut you expected in the second half never comes and the thrill of the chase fades.

Sonali Cable
It is labourious to sit through the 127 minute-long film, and soon you are left wondering if director-writer Acharya bit off far more than what he could chew with this one.

Gulaab Gang
There are several cliches and loopholes like this in the film but it is an entertaining potboiler nonetheless.

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.

Manmarziyaan
It is ultimately a disappointment not because of its craft, but because of predictability, self-indulgent pace and its irritating attempt to be both a light crowd-pleaser with a cutesy ending as well as an impassioned, volatile romance.

Happy New Year
...gives you enough reasons to stay inside the hall. But whether all those sequences come together to make a composite whole or reduce the film to yet another mindless potboiler, depends entirely on your perception.

Happy Ending
The film does exceedingly well on the craft front as it moves away from conventional techniques but fails to add a new dimension on the content front. But, you can always watch it for clever one liners and sharp jokes.

Hunterrr
...is not great, but director Harshvardhan Kulkarni, who has also written the script, has managed to churn out an interesting film that might become a stepping stone in this genre for Hindi cinema.

Angry Indian Goddesses
After a good first half, the movie shifts gears post interval, and this is where it begins to falter.
