  • Mirzya

    There’s a lot to admire in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mirzya, but coherent narrative and compelling characters are not among its strengths.

  • Milenge Milenge

    The problem with this film is that it's lacking in basic logic, and that its characters are complete stereotypes. Add to that the fact that Kaushik's treatment is extremely outdated even for a film that was meant to be released five years ago.

  • Meri Pyaari Bindu

    There are moments and sequences in the film that are moving and funny and quietly heartbreaking. But those are few in an overlong film that never quite finds its groove.

  • Mausam

    As you leave the hall exhausted from the sheer length of this misguided enterprise, you cannot help but note that despite its many flaws, this is a noble failure. The film doesn't work, but not for lack of trying.

  • Mastram

    As it is an 'imagined biography' of the writer, we were left with the nagging thought that the writer of 'Mastram' had not made him as intriguing, mysterious and naughty as one might have hoped.

  • Margarita With A Straw

    Powered by a staggering performance from Kalki Koechlin as a 19-year-old with cerebral palsy, Margarita with a Straw is that rare Indian film that mostly eschews melodrama to give us an honest, sensitive portrait of disability, and the sexual awakening of an Indian teenager.

  • Main Tera Hero

    ...is a series of forced contrivances. The humor feels labored and manufactured, never arising spontaneously from the situations. It's a shame because you'd think Dhawan Sr would know exactly how to make these tropes work.

  • Main Aur Charles

    Director Prawaal Raman has very cleverly delivered the incidents in chunks because we already know a lot about the criminal and therefore the documentary had to be in the specific manner.

  • Madras Cafe

    Solidly directed by Sircar, who steers clear of typical Bollywood machismo and avoids oversimplifying characters or their motives, the film - at a little over two hours - is a compelling watch.

  • Maatr

    ...disappoints on many levels despite being a relevant film. A veteran or experienced director would’ve turned it into a masterpiece as it had all the element of a hard-hitting, entertaining crime-drama thriller.
