Qarib Qarib Singlle
The film employs honesty and humor to make important observations about letting go of the past and about making a real connection with someone.

Chakravyuh
...a well intentioned and finely crafted film, which shies away from taking any stand.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
Predictable and occasionally misguided, but also hopelessly fun.

Dishoom
You won’t remember Dishoom for its plot or for its performances. It’s like junk food that’s meant to be savored in the moment, but cannot be counted on for nutrition.

Dishoom
Look beyond its kitchen-sink drama treatment, and you'll notice it's a brave film with an urgent message at its heart.

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.

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

The Japanese Wife
There is no denying the fact that The Japanese Wife gets bogged down by its indulgent pace. But stay with it and you will be rewarded.

Pairon Talle
Watch it for the love of independent cinema and brilliantly executed metaphors.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Sure anybody can dance, but it takes more work to keep an audience consistently engaged.

Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya
...a feel good film and you wont find many dull moments but you should also not expect anything fresh.

Welcome Back
...is overlong, over-plotted, and unmistakably silly. But it's also incredibly funny in portions.

Tere Bin Laden Dead Or Alive
The performances of actors and extras stand out but not the puns and humour.

My Birthday Song
...a low-IQ comedy that succeeds in making you laugh occasionally, despite its highly improbable premise.

Break Ke Baad
Tune in, tune out. Admire the good looking, well matched couple. Drift along. For a bit.

It needed more humor and more meat, but Vidya Balan comes out tops again.

Aksar 2
...with a different female lead and without the disconcerting songs, this would have been a pretty decent film.

Aksar 2
Parvin Dabas' directorial debut tells a powerful story, which is both relevant to recent times and is light at heart too.

Aksar 2
What's missing from 'Ra.One' is a sure-footed director's touch. Anubhav Sinha fails to bring all the elements together, and while this superhero film has plenty sound and fury, it's sorely lacking slickness.

Jai Gangaajal
Priyanka Chopra and Prakash Jha’s performances keep you engaged and invested despite the familiar narrative, but by the end you’re overcome by the unmistakable feeling of exhaustion.

Babumoshai Bandookbaaz
It’s a guilty pleasure at best, provocative and titillating. But it’s also overlong and derivative, and gives one of our finest actors little room to do much more than repeat himself.

Photograph
The writing doesn’t pack the emotional urgency of The Lunchbox, and the characters aren’t as compelling. There is a delicate quality to the central relationship but it never takes flight. Batra keeps the story on slow-burn; how you wish he’d stirred things up from time to time.

Break Ke Baad
Director Danish Aslam makes a respectable debut with a reasonably engaging film that is watchable largely for the performance of its leading lady.

Ragini MMS
It's nothing you haven't seen before, but it keeps you engaged for most of its 100-minute running time.

Lanka
Manoj Bajpayee's first-rate acting is reason enough to watch 'Lanka' but you can also watch it for the fondness of actual locations and small town stories.

Bittoo Boss
The film tosses around some interesting ideas, but can't seem to make them work as a perfect whole.
