Love Sonia
...Noorani has crafted a powerful film that you won’t be able to shake off immediately.

Paltan
It’s got a tired, recycled feel to it, and fails to hold up to Dutta’s better films.

Stree
...is especially entertaining, packed with laugh aloud moments and a cast that’s on top of their game. It’s one of the most original films this year, and I recommend that you make the time for it.

Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se
...is like one of those party jokes which you anticipate will entertain you, but instead leave a bad taste in your mouth when someone actually blurts it out.

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi
Instead of coherent plotting we get a sense the filmmakers decided to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.

Gold
Actors try to make up for a little slack in pace, but its capacity to moist your eyes at will is Gold’s real strength. Akshay is in top form and this is your must watch Independence Day film.

Satyameva Jayate
...has its heart at the right place, but a convoluted screenplay hampers its chances.

Vishwaroop II
...I fail to understand how a brilliant actor like Haasan (who can forget him in Nayagan, for instance) could slip into such a shoddy, convoluted sequel, which fails to put its point across.

Karwaan
...isn’t perfect, but I enjoyed the film’s laidback, unhurried vibe, and it’s terrific music.

Fanney Khan
...squanders so much potential, it practically breaks your heart. Only Anil Kapoor succeeds in leaving his stamp all over the film, making your heart go out to this 'selfless' man on a mission.

Mulk
...isn’t original cinema, it’s not even its own film, but it’s a much needed reminder and lesson that we live in a secular nation, something that we always strive for.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
It’s a good reminder that a bigger budget and bigger scale don’t necessarily make for a better film.

Dhadak
...is ultimately a homogenous Karan Johar production that offers comfort in the familiar...for those seeking it. For the rest of us, it’s just baffling why the folks involved would choose to remake a film about the horrors of caste supremacy, but erase practically every mention of caste from the film.

Sanju
It’s a consistently engaging film that makes its way to your heart even though the head frequently resists.

Bhavesh Joshi Superhero
...is an impressive, admirable attempt at creating a vulnerable middle-class superhero in the real world, committed to tackling everyday challenges faced by the ordinary citizen. But it’s also bloated and indulgent...

Parmanu
...takes a little too much freedom with the "based on true events" story as director Abhishek Sharma chooses to go Bollywood-ish way by implanting random bits of patriotism in the movie.

Hope Aur Hum
It has its heart in the right place and manages to seep you in its own nostalgia and think of things beyond the film. But there’s something that doesn’t quite make it through. The message of this family drama stays with you but the film, unfortunately, might not.

Raazi
The film is admirable also because it’s a measured, mostly intelligent thriller that asks us to consider concepts of patriotism and honor without spoon-feeding us with manipulative background music or provocative dialogue.

Omerta
You might see it as the other side of the same coin that is Shahid. The making of a man deeply affected by similar incidents, but one who chooses a different path.

102 Not Out
Despite its many shortcomings 102 Not Out has its heart in the right place, and a pair of actors clearly enjoying themselves on screen. Their infectious energy alone makes this film worth a watch.

Beyond The Clouds
Ultimately the film offers comfort in the familiar…for those that seek it. It’s Majid Majidi-lite at best; a bittersweet, inoffensive drama that runs, but never flies.

Nanu Ki Jaanu
...the film is uneven, half-baked disappointment, which completely wrecks the talent of Abhay, Patralekha and even Chadha. They all deserve better than this. We all deserve better than this.

Hichki
...this is broad-brushstrokes filmmaking. Surprisingly, it works. And much of it is because Rani Mukerji is in solid form...

It’s promising and delivers many rousing moments, but it runs out of steam well before the finish line.
