Commando 2
...does not explore a novel theme - it's the classic good vs evil - but the high-voltage action makes this an entertaining one for fans of the genre.

London Paris New York
Yes, yes, the movie is heavily borrowed from Before Sunset, Before Sunrise and every other movie about love with a deadline, but there is a refreshing sweetness to it.

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

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.

Tanhaji
By showing a human being with extraordinary capabilities by exaggerating his qualities, to the point of making him unbelievably superhuman, the makers lose an opportunity. They end up turning this historical hero into a fictional creation and not a flesh-and-blood person who can inspire the upcoming generations.

Jazbaa
...is not quite the re-entry to Bollywood Aishwarya's fans had been expecting. But she does do a largely good job of nailing her mother-in-distress act...

India‘s Most Wanted
...suffers from a sluggish pace, which is quite detrimental for a film of this genre. It is a crime thriller. The film needed to have been knit a lot better.

Satyagraha
The film is well-intentioned film, its message relevant. Unfortunately, not every well-intentioned film with relevant message leaves an impact.

Highway
Writer-director Ali tries giving a deeper subtext to the kidnap drama through Veera. The abduction aftermath has a life-altering impact on the girl. The subtext doesn't work because it cuts down the film's pace as it unfolds and confuses the viewer.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
If you're just looking to have a good laugh and enjoy small-town humour, Badrinath Ki Dulhania will not disappoint. But if you're looking for food for thought, the film might just not live up to your expectations.

Daddy
Watch this gangster drama for Arjun Rampal's heartfelt performance. He breathes as Arun Gawli in Daddy. But don't go into the theatre expecting to learn anything eye-opening about the Mumbai underworld. You will come back disappointed.

Parmanu
If you can get through two hours of clichéd dialogues, occasional deadpan textbook dialogues from John Abraham and much desh-bhakti, there is an interesting climax as a reward waiting for you, at the end.

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

Manjhi
The praise apart, where Manjhi really loses the way is in the way Dashrath's story is presented.

Teri Meri Kahaani
...fails to find a USP simply because the three love stories it narrates aren't altogether new.

Bajatey Raho
This film looks cliched when it tries to be funny, jaded when it sets out to thrill (the second half, where suspense mattered, simply falls flat), and goes all soppy with emotions.

Mahabharat
Nobody really expected Mahabharat to offer anything close to Hollywood standard but when you have worked on a film for seven years like how the makers of Mahabharat claim, at least ensure you can tell a story engagingly.

Mr. X
The story is very predictable, but there aren't really those moments when you feel why the film doesn't end. Two for the film, and a half extra for Hashmi. Watch it for Emraan Hashmi...baaki ki chinta chhodo.

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?

Pataakha
Bhardwaj though doesn't delve too deep into making them agents of change, more inclined to return to the shenanigans that provides the laughs. Pataakha further succumbs to taking a clichéd route to create drama and conflict, one more befitting in soap operas.

Veere Di Wedding
The good part - Veere Di Wedding isn't as frivolous as Rhea Kapoor's other productions like Aisha and Khoobsurat. It does break a few stereotypes with its story-telling. It's a film that you cannot completely dismiss for being too bold, too outrageous or too offensive.

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.

Jawaani Jaaneman
Though Jawaani Jaaneman is backed by strong performances, it couldn't make the film memorable. It suffers from a slow-paced predictable plot and patchy editing.

AkaashVani
The film could have done with a more crisp narrative. At a near two-and-half hour runtime, you wish the tale was cut short by at least an hour. What works for the film, though, is the cast.

Ok Jaanu
The strength of the film is that it remains faithful to the original, and if you haven't watched that, OK Jaanu makes for a decent watch.

...is a one-time watch and is for those who are are still hung up on their college life. But it is no 3 Idiots. You might want to call your college buddies after the film.
