Thappad
As a filmmaker with a sharp voice, this is Sinha's third film in a row that knocks open a fissure to reveal the rot within (when it comes to gender relations).

D-Day
...with an innovative story idea, adept editing, fantastic execution and good performances is immensely watchable, at least once.

Special 26
Much of the film’s success can be credited to an absorbing and audacious plot and its gentle sarcasm and quiet humour.

Ankhon Dekhi
Very rarely do you come across scenes in films that make you smile even when you are getting teary-eyed. 'Ankhon Dekhi' has many such moments.

Raazi
This is a meditative version of a war film, subtly weighing in on human loss and ruthlessness, even as it seldom wavers from checking off all the crackling elements of an espionage thriller.

Section 375
...is a crackling film that delves into the subject wisely, talking of issues that we are only happy to brush under our carpets and bury in our closets. It’s by far one of 2019’s best film and I recommend you give this one a dekko for sure.

Section 375
...is the kind of film that actually gives you no option, while taking you along with it on a merry ride, making you feel the fear, anxieties and excitement of each of the characters involved.

Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge
If I were a student, I wouldn't mind bunking a few lectures to catch it again, with my campus friends I so miss now.

Harud
If the purpose of a movie is to move you, then Harud does that pretty well. For mainstream regulars, this independent effort might come across as a bit boring.

Bala
It's almost as if the film has been designed to clear every headspace and leg/elbow room for the leading man Ayushmann to spread his wings and soar. And boy, does he shine—perhaps outshining anything he's done in the mainstream space so far.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
It feels like a slow dive into the depths of emotions, at times fulfilling and at times uncomfortable.

Chennai Express
The script might be totally devoid of common sense, but to give the due credit, Shetty’s typical flippity, casual humour and innovative action sequences, keeps you thrilled and involved in most part of it.

Hasee Toh Phasee
A sparkling fresh love story, well-written script and dialogues, and competent performances make this film a fun watch.

Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
Don't miss it. Even if just to go back to the magical world of nostalgia created so beautifully and earnestly by Banerjee and cinematographer Nikos Andritsakis.

it's Shah who really steals the show. The character seems to be an extension of his real self, and you will have newfound respect for him.

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.

But watch this one. You might come out loving yourself a little more than you do.

The on-goings in the film have an authentic touch and that's why the screenplay manages to evoke humour and pathos in equal doses.

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.

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

Phobia
The best thing about this film is that it doesn't follow the trusted and safe route of horror films and gets pleasantly unpredictable at the end.

Stree
The filmmakers here, supremely strong on craft, pull it off swiftly though, landing most of the punches (including punch-lines) at the right place.

Ghayal Once Again
Sunny Deol, as a director, does a better than decent job. He manages to keep the plot believable and keep you involved in the goings on.

Panga
...has the same histrionics films of such nature are known for- Parental conflict, sacrifices, heroic montages, training sequences, and ultimate triumph. But despite all the ingredients, the film is fueled by sharp writing by Tiwari and Nikhil Mehrotra, boisterous dialogues and above all

Gowariker deserves full marks for picking a historic subject that's novel and unique.
