Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai
Unintentionally funny, with oh-God-too-much gyaan, this could send you off to coma.

Jeena Hai Toh Thok Daal
The semblance of the plot is badly disturbed when its screenplay prefers to move in a predictable direction. Sloppy camerawork couldn’t be hidden for long either.

If only Gupta had gone a little easy on the unnecessary and intrusive melodrama. Even then, it’s a good one time watch for sure.

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story
An assortment of gangsters along with some bizarre turns in the tale makes this Jayantabhai’s love story hard to digest.

Jawaani Jaaneman
Some lovely scenes and inspired moments save the day for this family-comedy that never stoops to melodrama.

Jannat 2
...the plot gives too many misfired shots which if aimed well could have made for an interesting watch.

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

Jai Ho
...talking about or analysing this movie might be a futile exercise, considering that even as I write this, there are scores of ‘bhaifans’ out there beaming inside a theatre and enjoying themselves, no matter how bad the film is.

Jai Gangaajal
Jha yet again successfully revisits the world he’s so familiar with, the rampant hooliganism, the fascinating and colourful lingo that we are all familiar with, largely thanks to Jha’s earlier films.

Jagga Jasoos
...for all cause and effect, this is a completely children's movie. Clearly that part of the message doesn't seem to have been relayed well as I look around at the morning show in my theatre, which is half packed, but mainly with young adults—the lead actor's personal fan base. There isn't a single kid. Now that's a bummer.

Jackpot
Although the suspense factor holds tight at moments, the charm of deception is severely missing.

Jabariya Jodi
The film is a romantic comedy with a fair share of humour and a dash of romance. As a whole, Jabariya Jodi is a feel-good film; a movie worth watching once.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
As a Yashji film, it completely misses the point. Where is the romance, the tension, the brooding, the reverberance, the poetry?

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.

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
A brilliant first half doesn't materialise into an entertaining second, leaving you famished for something substantial.

Ittefaq
I also don’t remember the last time I watched a full-on, no-nonsense, whodunit Hindi mainstream murder mystery in a theatre, with no way to talk about it but to urge you to see it, because that’s the only way we can discuss it any further.

It's a Wonderful Afterlife
An engaging premise, but a weak script plays spoil sport in making this afterlife wonderful.

It is one thing to set out to make a gritty film in Banaras, but it is another thing to have enough discipline and a great script to pull it off.

Isi Life Mein
One wishes that Vidhi had attempted something original in her first film because she does get it right at many points but fails every time she goes back to the formula.

Anyone who loves to hear stories and drown themselves in the sights and sounds of a place will be delighted. The performances will have you gasping for more.

Ishk Actually
If the gist of the film was to spin a yarn around the pursuit of true love, then it surely missed the target by a mile.

Ishaqzaade
If only the second half had not meandered into a redlight area, this film would have been a great watch, but still it is worth a viewing.

Irada
Full marks to the ambition, but this hotch-potch of a movie is good reminder that compelling movies are made of much more than a hit pair and a good idea.

Indu Sarkar
While high on obvious propaganda, low on aesthetics, where Bhandarkar does well is to show the deep disdain the Indian state has for activists, its excessive censorship, the complete lack of an opposition in politics, and a relentless public campaign through events to suggest all's well, when it’s really not.

India‘s Most Wanted
Frankly, nothing really happens for you to care enough. And the movie at two hours plus simply appears an hour too long. Ah! Felt like an empty shell -- well, to me, anyway.
