...is thrilling and gripping for the most part, even though it does lose steam in its final act.

...is one part lighthearted rom-com, one part deathly serious reincarnation saga, and all parts ridiculous.

Ra.One
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.

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

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
Someday we'll get a smart film on the battle of the sexes. Until then, perhaps cheap laughs will have to do..?

Pyaar Ka Punchnama
...is positioned as a comic take on real urban relationships, but the jokes are mostly lame, and the conflicts so exaggerated that it doesn't work on any level.

Pyaar Impossible
doesn't work because it's hard to empathize with any of the characters and because the actors fail to rise above the flawed script.

Purani Jeans
The film is a bad attempt to display the emotions of friendship and love in its true sense.

Prince
...marvelously moronic movie that uses visual effects to fake everything from stunt scenes and explosions, to hi-tech gizmos and even the Mumbai skyline.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo
...the tropes have gotten rusty, the emotions seldom feel genuine, and the writing is strictly surface level. Good thing then that the film's got Salman Khan as leading man, his abundant charisma glossing over many of its flaws.

Poster Boys
Comedy writing is fun, but it’s also serious business. The writers of Poster Boys forgot the rule while working on the film. They clearly didn’t put in enough efforts to get the rewards.

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.

Policegiri
The dialogue writers put their heart and soul in coming up with catchy one-liners and they evoke laughter occasionally but KS Ravikumar's inexperience in handling the Hindi film audience obstructs their efforts.

PK
Packed with sharp dialogue and genuinely funny moments that offset the lack of subtlety, it is easily one of the year's better films.

This isn’t just an important film, but also excellently made. It’s a giant leap for Hindi cinema, and easily the best film this year.

Pihu
It’s neither a compelling cautionary tale about bad parenting or a sufficiently responsible thriller. The film revels in making you flinch and squirm and cringe. That’s just mean-spirited.

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.

The best part about the film is the storyline that builds into a perfect climax.

Phoonk 2
...is what you'd describe as Ramgopal Varma-lite. The thrills and scares are few and far between. They could have made this film in their sleep. Who knows, they probably did!

Phobia
The film is smart and reasonably slick, and benefits considerably from a knockout performance by Radhika Apte, even if the script isn’t always on solid ground.

Phillauri
...isn’t a consistently smooth ride. It’s uneven and bumpy and unforgivably slow in portions. But a lot of it works and some of it flies.

Phhir
The storyline is highly predictable, the performance dismal and sitting through the one hour and forty five minutes of the film almost makes you want to laugh out loud at every so-called twist and turn in the plot.

The jingoistic dialogue and the film’s questionable message aside, this is boring, inert stuff.
