Stanley Ka Dabba
Some movies leave you gobsmacked with their sweetness. Others silence you with their spareness. Can a movie do both? Sometimes. Stanley ka Dabba is one of those times.

Spark
It truly is surprising that a film with a story so bland and hackneyed got made in the first place.

Soorma
The film falls supremely short of harnessing dramatic potential and is just another hackneyed run-of-the-mill biopic. A champion is turned into a colourless Bollywood hero.

Sniff
The emergence of an adventurous hero and his exploits as a spy should infuse pace and energy into the proceedings but that isn't necessarily the case here.

Singham Returns
The dream team of Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn delivers a good entertainer.

Singham
Yes, this is Wanted Part 2 or Dabanng Part 2 without Salman Khan's crazy charm.

Singh Saab The Great
...a film designed to show Sunny Deol histrionics, the way his fans are by now accustomed to seeing him.

Singh Is Bliing
...a fun-filled affair, only if you choose to abandon your brain a light year away from the ticket windows and then enter the theatre.

Simran
...the film struggles with the continuity of a mood or tone. The comedy approach here doesn't pay dividends, with many of the punchlines missing the mark and most having been exhausted in the trailer itself.

Simmba
No one does masala films like Rohit Shetty. But when he decides to infuse a moral lecture into the mix, that is where a film falters. Simmba suffers from the same curse.

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan
This is easily one of the best films that Bollywood has given us in 2017...

Shortcut Romeo
...takes too long to unveil a suspense you probably figure out midway. For a suspense thriller, that can be the biggest flaw.

Shorgul
...is a well-made "commercial" film woven around the politics of religion-based hate and bigotry that incite riots to help win elections.

Shootout At Wadala
it is a gangsta trip throbbing with adrenaline rush and Gupta does well to underplay the melodrama so as not to dilute the impact.

Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
Despite narrating a fairly predictable tale of love, the film works for the brilliant moments that the script provides.

Shikara
...is a film on the plight of Kashmiri Pandits made with the right amount of sensibility and compassion. While it touches hearts in many parts, it also compels you to question if everything was clearly black and white with no shades of grey.

Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene
Director Gurmeet Singh has done an average job with the star cast and the script of the film. The short duration of the film works its favour as it keeps it crisp and to the point.

Shanghai
It is the heartland political thriller that several among the Bollywood lot have tried to make lately but didn't quite have the guts to.

We get to see a new Mehta in form with this film, more assured of what he has to say, more in control of the craft of cinema.

Shaandaar
...the formula of a destination wedding, good looking people, loud families, could not rescue us from the wrath of the not-so Shaandaar movie.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
The movie was a well thought-out project. The dialogues and plot are fresh. But by the second half, the movie drags a lot.

Satyameva Jayate
With the clock ticking past the two hour mark, all the spiel on farz, izzat, imaandari is too familiar. You are left with a realisation: truth hurts but Satyamev Jayate hurts more.
