Dream Girl
Raaj Shaandilyaa deserves credit for bringing something new to the table. However, his hesitation to delve deeper into the subject makes it score less on the report card.

Coffee Bloom
The drama in this film is a quite gripping and all the three actors perform well.

Azhar
Tony D'Souza's fictionalisation of Azharuddin's life works in most parts, but comes out as a deeply eulogising exercise.

Not A Love Story
It's Varma's old hunting ground-there's an animal inside each of us. And if you have the stomach for it, it's worth a watch.

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.

Red Alert
...the movie suffers from the same problem that all Bollywood films on controversial subjects do--how to present both sides, equally well, not offending anyone.

Aurangzeb
You have a cracker of an idea, the build up is great too, and then gross lack of imagination turns everything into a mangled mess post interval.

The Zoya Factor
...rather than putting its cast and breezy premise to good use, the film runs amok and you slowly begin to wonder why you should sit through 2.5 hours of this.

Panipat
Ashutosh Gowariker may not be able to do grandeur like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, but he can do war. Yet, a lacklustre cinematography and terrible CGI mars this solid attempt. It would have worked 10 years ago.

Super 30
Under the guidance of math wizard Anand Kumar, his Super 30 turned out to be miracles. Under the guidance of Vikas Bahl, Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 is far from one.

Ishkq In Paris
Preity is feisty as ever but she isn't doing anything she might not have already done in a zillion films before.

Khiladi 786
...tries blending Akshay's Rowdy Rathore swagger with his Housefull humour. It ends up in a nowhere-zone in between.

Stree
After regaling audiences with many ideas it's a bit of a letdown to see a film venture on a all-too familiar terrain. Stree tries to give its female ghost an identity that goes beyond revenge, yet by the end she also feels nothing beyond a scream queen.

Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum
The film makes you snigger, and then you snigger at yourself for doing as much at something so obviously silly and raunchy.

London Dreams
Shah has the energy of the film on tap. If only he had got the story half as right.

Chef
...is that rare Hindi film that celebrates India's diversity of cuisine and its unfailing ability to whet our appetite and for that alone it's worth a watch.

War
...is a crowd-puller, but it isn’t meant to further the cause of cinema. It will entertain you.

Ramaiya Vastavaiya
...offers nothing new. Ironic for a film meant to launch a new face.

Love Sonia
...inconsistencies can't take away from Mrunal Thakur's work who essays the character with conviction, capturing its naiveté, guilt and fractured spirit adeptly. If you love Sonia by the end of it, it's because of her.

Mausam
Every scene is beautifully shot, the romance is meant to grow on you with its artful glances and coy exchanges. But instead of a slow burn, it's just plain exhaustion.

Sulemani Keeda
Despite the film's flaws, Masurkar shows promise as a filmmaker drawing from what seem like his own experiences as a filmmaker.

A Gentleman
...makes for an entertaining watch. If a not-too-serious, masala film is your ideal weekend watch, then this film does not disappoint.

Golmaal 3
There's no point complaining about the utterly politically incorrect nature of the speech-impaired jokes or the vulgar nature of various actions, so I won't.

Citylights
It's a good one but from the team of Shahid and with Mahesh Bhatt backing the project, we expected more.

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.

Fukrey
...reminds you that Bollywood these days is trying to entertain beyond tested flavours. The effort may have stumbled in execution. At least, like the four fukreys, the makers did try hard.

Laal Kaptaan
...Laal Kaptaan's biggest flaw is that it is too heavily dependent on Saif, but doesn't offer the necessary support for him to pull it through. Ultimately, it remains a film that had all the right ingredients but is still under-cooked.
