Baankey Ki Crazy Baraat
On the whole, the experience of watching Baankey Ki Crazy Baraat is like attending a lavish wedding feast, but ending up with indigestion.

Flaws aside, it talks of a real concern facing all of us, even while taking a flight of fantasy.

Manjhi
Watch it for Nawazuddin's performance, but more importantly, Dashrath Manjhi's awe inspiring self belief.

All Is Well
This movie starts going consistently downhill from the first scene itself that you start wondering if the makers and the actors themselves gave up on making any sense, even while they were in the process of making it.

Gour Hari Dastaan
It hardly evokes emotions in you and make you feel for the trials and tribulations of the man struggling for his due.

Brothers
If merciless and relentless crunching of bones gets your adrenalin pumping, this film is designed for you.

Jaanisaar
You get the grandeur and the old-world charm that you expect from an Ali film, but unfortunately he seems to have lost touch with the finesse.

Bangistan
...has a mighty interesting concept with a good intention. It should have translated into a film to remember, but unfortunately it doesn't. However, there are some flashes of brilliance, which are unmissable.

Drishyam
...reiterates the fact that when you have a gripping story, other things kind of fall in place, even if the film is somewhat at a disadvantage because of a fairly unsteady, under-confident execution.

Aisa Yeh Jahaan
The characterisation is relatable, but at times the film appears to be a documentary.

Masaan
An eagle's eye for detailing coupled with some excellent piece of writing is what largely works for 'Masaan', apart from other fine things.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
Be ready to want to wolf whistle, even when you have a tear or two stealthily streaming down your cheek. Watch it.

Second Hand Husband
In spite of the handicaps, the film manages to largely entertain, because of its child-like naive approach and also largely due to some intermittent funny dialogues.

Uvaa
The youngsters in the film might have burned the midnight oil to become an example for others, but Uvaa does not even deserve grace marks.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
With a protagonist so out of sync with the time and age she lives in, dialogues (Shagufta Rafiq), which seemed to belong to some other bygone era and somehow strayed into 2015, forced intensity and a story defying logic, this film is a disappointment.

Dil Dhadakne Do
This is a classic example of how when a pertinent, contemporary story meets a stellar star cast and near perfect direction, it results in a wholesome film good enough to be taken home to mum.

Welcome 2 Karachi
What stands out in this film is the fairly intelligent writing, which includes a few uproariously funny dialogues, and which belies the writer's (Vrijesh Hirjee) fair understanding of the current political scenario.

Surkhaab
...is perhaps one of the finest examples of those small budget films which start with a good intention of dealing with a relevant issue, but then fall into the trap of making it ‘safe’ to ensure a box office hit.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns
Even though Kangana has evidently grown by leaps and bounds in confidence over the five years since she starred in the original, the same can not be said about the sequel.

Bombay Velvet
...is more like a roller coaster ride, as it takes you on a dizzy high with its charming ambience and music that is bound to stay with you for long, but later you are brought down not so gently with the underwhelming plot and lack of punches.

Piku
...is like the hot chicken broth for the senses, the kind of food you know will soothe you, warm you up inside and more importantly, won't mess with your digestive system.

Gabbar Is Back
The only saving grace of this film is Akshay Kumar, who not only looks dishy with a beard, but does try giving a convincing performance in this not at all convincing film. But then he should have chosen better.

Jai Ho! Democracy
...as is the case with most attempts at satire, this one also ended up being more slapstick than sarcastic.

Kaagaz Ke Fools
Well, if nothing, the film makes us painfully aware of the difference between a phool and a fool.

Mr. X
Bhatt tries to incorporate the superhero angle, but his linear narrative springs no surprises and as soon as he makes his hero go invisible, his entire plot is clearly visible and the heavy inspiration from Hollywood flicks.
