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.

Badla
Sharp editing, intense music score and beautiful cinematography work wonders for the film. A strong narrative backed by good performances make Ghosh's Badla a winner.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
...takes us back to Planet Hirani, where even evil is basically nice. It's a world where the hero doggedly defines innocence and does a wrong turn only by chance.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
The end is one that bars Vishal's latest from becoming an exceptional effort. For everything else it is worth, this is the first real whopper coming out of Bollywood this year.

Befikre
...is best enjoyed when you go in without any expectations at all. The film is not boring. And that's what makes it a decent one-time watch.

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.

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.

Student Of The Year
The key lies in Karan's storytelling. For all its pulp packaging, SOTY doesn't have a single dull moment.

Rocky Handsome
...a sumptuous feast for action-lovers. Watch it if you swear by punches and kicks and special, hitherto-unseen-in-Hindi-films martial arts.

Photograph
It takes a while to warm up to this plaintive world of Batra's and the pacing is a little agonising at points. His ideas are wonderful but his insistence on giving the film an understated touch can leave you rather underwhelmed.

Inkaar
This is among Mishra's most perplexing efforts yet. He bravely takes up an unusual subject but seems to chicken out when it comes to giving his story a definite conclusion.

Sui Dhaaga

Mickey Virus
The comic-thriller is fast paced, constantly taking you from one unexpected situation to another. The dialogue is witty, full of repartees and with many smart one-liners that most characters, even the supporting ones get to mouth and display their comic mettle.

Saala Khadoos
It is largely due to the sheer brilliance of Madhavan and Ritika's work that Saala Khadoos is saved from falling into the abyss of predictability, which it dangerously teeters on the edge of.

Bhavesh Joshi Superhero
...is an attempt to propel the individual out of apathy, and asks us to channelise our anger in the right direction. It doesn't succeed entirely, but Motwane's fresh take on the wearied superhero genre is worth a watch.

Uri
Keeping the affiliations of Uri the film aside (which is a task in itself), it is a decent film for most parts. The first half is far more gripping than the second. Post intermission, the makers themselves seem over-excited, to the point of losing control of the narrative.

Parched
...entertains for most part because the three characters are brought alive by gifted actors whose camaraderie is so natural and performances so compelling that it almost makes you forget the melodramatic story unfolding.

Hindi Medium
...may use over-dramatised events to make its message hit home, but in spite of its hiccups, the film is not bogged down because of the performances and the humour.

The scenes between Dugal and Reshi, low on melodrama and high on intensity, are heartbreaking to behold. Bohot hard that you’d need to keep those handkerchiefs ready.
