Poorna
The film ticks all the boxes of a standard sports drama; it’s a bonafide underdog story. There are rousing speeches, training montages, and last-minute conflicts.

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

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
...a warm and fuzzy comedy that benefits from the insider's eye that the director casts on this garrulous community, and their love of food and family. At 2 hours and 15 minutes, the film feels bloated and over-long, but stay with it and you won't regret it.

...belongs to its leading lady, and Vidya Balan is so good in it, she glosses over many of the script problems and gives us a protagonist so compelling it’s hard not to succumb to her charm.

That Girl in Yellow Boots
Even if the story itself leaves you wanting more, the storytelling makes you go the distance.

That Girl in Yellow Boots
It's an average film made eminently watchable by its courageous star.

Jolly LLB 2
It lacks the surprise element that the first part had, it is not that cleverly written as well, yet Jolly LLB 2 manages to engage viewers and gives Kumar ample scope to perform.

Bareilly Ki Barfi
There is a lot to enjoy here but the script contrivances rankle. This is a movie that works on account of the trimmings: the acting, the clap-trap dialogues, and the authentic texture of the world that it’s set in. If only there was more meat to the main dish.

Badla
The film doesn’t pack the wallop that Kahaani delivered, but it’s a respectable enough thriller that seldom loses grip of its pace or your attention.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
What scores is that the film does not have slapstick or in-your-face comedy.

...it's an unconventional watch, yes, but it's also refreshing to see a different kind of Indian cinema make its place in the world.

Paa
Few filmmakers stick their necks out to tell difficult and different stories in these days of mindless entertainers making potloads of money. For their intentions alone, the makers of Paa deserve a thumbs-up.

Rakht Charitra – I
...a bold, disturbing film that's bursting with the kind of confidence we haven't seen from the filmmaker recently.

Dhanak
It’s a crowd-pleaser that drives the point home about seeing with your heart instead of your eyes. Shrewd message for a film that’s not perfect, but is all heart.

Delhi In A Day
...a simple film which is not made with a preoccupied mind. It largely remains sweet but conveys the point strongly.

Running Shaadi
...despite few hiccups, the entire good vibe and vibrant nature of Running Shaadi makes it a worthy watch this weekend. Just go for this easy-breezy film and come out with a smile or a plan of elopement during a wedding.

Phoonk 2
...isn't a bad film; it's just a disappointing one from a filmmaker who showed such promise with his debut film 'Aamir'. This one falls short.

...challenges your depth, to say the least. You are free to reject the film out-rightly, but you will keep doubting your decision throughout the process, which means it will remain in your sub-conscious as an unsolved mystery.
