Rajdhani Express
Bad writing comes in the way of anything that might seem remotely gripping. Leander just served a double fault. He has made a wrong career move, that too with the wrong debut vehicle.

Raid
Even as Raid raises pertinent questions on lionising immoral heroes and ignoring the ones who actually do the right thing, it lacks vision and wastes the opportunity to dive deep into this discrepancy.

Rahasya
If you enjoy murder mysteries then you must watch Rahasya. It's a well-made film.

Ragini MMS
Surely the film will have an audience among those young enough to be scared by the chills and desperate enough to find the sex titillating.But I guess I just wasn't scared enough.

Ragini MMS - 2
Our suggestion: watch the first half of Ragini MMS or get hold of The Conjuring. These films accomplish in doing what Ragini MMS 2 fails to.

...this is intelligent filmmaking in the service of a been-there-seen-that story with risky overtones.

Radhe
If you're a Salman Khan fan, you probably weren't. So we will end here. If you're not a Salman Khan fan and wouldn't mind two hours of mindless fun, you might give Radhe a try.

Race 3
There are full-fledged military wars in Cambodia because nothing less than a war can do justice to Salman's calibre. There is Salman Khan flying over Al Shifah because helicopters are so passe. There is Bhai launching bazookas because why undermine him with lesser weapons like AK-47. There are five extra actors in the film to support Salman because he needs to outshine all of them. Nothing is measured in Race 3. You ask for a shot of Salman, you're given a gallon of him. Deal with it however you want.

Race 2
A patchy script wholly banks on its stylish cast and a more stylish treatment. Oops... was that also my line when I reviewed Race four years back?

Raazi
She (Alia Bhatt) is present in almost every scene post her character's introduction and she shines throughout even when the film stutters near the end.

Raaz Reboot
...do we as the Indian audience need to assaulted with such banal, comical horror every single time the Bhatts have some money to make a film?

Raaz 3
...unfolds like a film that was written, directed and produced in fits of hallucination.

Raavan
...so we get Mani Ratnam's politics. What we don't get is his art. This is perhaps his most beautiful film--and that's saying a lot for someone who makes such an effort to frame his scenes. But it is also one of his weakest central characterisations.

Raanjhanaa
...harks back to the way Bollywood used to make love stories once upon a time. With some imagination, the effect would have been nostalgic, too.

Raabta
...the biggest obstacle in the path of Raabta is the story. The subject is nothing that has not been done in Indian cinema earlier. The way the story is treated takes a toll on your patience.

Ra.One
This is film-making not so much as noble passion but as grand indulgence, not so much as a marathon magic show but as an event to be managed. No effort is spared.

R... Rajkumar
The film does not leave you with a single memorable scene despite its loud effort to impress.

Queen
And that is the film's beauty: its pauses, its silences, its not saying too much when it can say less.

Qaidi Band
...it is Anya Singh who impresses the most as the affable young woman who is hopeful and helpful. Even as the film ventures into unreal and mawkish territory, her Anya remains an idealist, firm that there is good in the world.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
But the constant nice-guys-hard-done-by the evil gals narrative is more an annoying series of rants than an entertaining film.

Pyaar Impossible
If you must watch it, please do so for Priyanka. She really needs better roles.

Purani Jeans
Director Tanushri Chattrji Bassu packs in the choicest cliches that you have seen earlier in hajaar Hindi films in her debut directorial. Her story is run-of-the-mill and her characters half-baked and situations Xeroxed from previous Hindi films.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo

PM Narendra Modi
Maybe the makers of PM Narendra Modi the film should have taken their own recipe of the perfect tea a little seriously: add just a bit of sugar. Because when you have too much sugar, the tea is inedible.

Players
Bollywood has realized it can camouflage its lack of stories with lots of thrills, chases, heists making the location exotic and the villains international even if it has to finally buy the remake rights legally.

PK
All the credit for this goes to the captain of the ship, the genius filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani who has raised the bar once again.
