  • Talvar

    ...makes for a gripping and deeply disturbing film, largely thanks to the nature of the crime, but also because of the true to life style of narration, devoid any excess melodrama.

  • Talaash

    A no-frills taut plot, a gripping even pace, a limited character palette, some surreal moments, ‘Talaash’ is consistent as a thriller.

  • 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.

  • Super 30

    Suffice it to suggest that the script, treated with an arthouse touch, has a potential of an Oscar nomination (no less). But you already know, this is a 'Bollywood' event-entertainer, with an understandable mix of memoir and melodrama.

  • Sulemani Keeda

    For a story that is not really novel, this movie would have been much more exciting with a wee bit more confidence and craziness. Nevertheless, it’s definitely worth one watch for a good laugh.

  • Sui Dhaaga

    The unimpressive climax is disjointed, a far cry from the tone the film carried up until then. Despite its rousing moments, the film leaves you feeling unfulfilled.

  • 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.

  • Stree

    Amole Gupte's directorial debut is brilliant, his narrative is easy and uncomplicated and the best thing is, he allows the children to be themselves, without forcing an adult's way on them.

  • Stree

    While making a point about political interference and corruption (the flavour of the season!) in football, Stand By leans heavily towards Bollywood melodrama. This is most unnecessary in what could have been a hard-hitting look at what ails Indian sports.

  • Stree

    If you are looking for originality or anything deeper, this is not for you. Go for it only if you are looking for a light but forgettable watch.

  • Soundtrack

    ...the film is watchable for its starkly distinct narrative and stands out amidst the current crop of mindless comic capers and over-the-top action flicks.

  • Soorma

    With Soorma, Ali confidently gets to the centre, keeps his impulses under check, and plays it totally narrow, and fully straight. And, yes, he hits home, alright. This is possibly his best work yet.

  • Sixteen

    Despite its hapless editing and a circus of miscasts, the admirable part is it doesn’t thrust an all-weather remedy to handling hormones effectively.

  • Sixteen

    The treatment is shoddy, background music is outdated (in fact, I almost expected to hear dishoom dishoom like in the 80's during the fights), the dialogues are unbelievably tacky and generally the film is tiring.
