Simran
...there's more reason to celebrate Simran than diss it. The quirky perspective at finding laughs in troubled times is a refreshing way of viewing problems. And then there's Kangana, making badass look simple, human and so full of heart.

Simmba
This only brings back strong memories of large single-screen cinemas - on the verge of extinction - with people on both cheap and super-expensive seats, sharing entertainment as a common, tribal experience. That's where you should go for this.

Shuttlecock Boys
Better low-budget films have been made but what sets Shuttlecock Boys apart is it begins where it ends. And that too, without losing its intent for once.

Shuddh Desi Romance
...a fun-ride. Watch it for Parineeti and Jaideep Sahni. This kind of acting and writing need to be encouraged.

Shubh Mangal Saavdhan
This is a brave and bright film with its heart in the right place and its gaze refreshingly free of a gender bias fixed firmly at the crotch level.

Shortcut Romeo
Except for few moments - in fact, very few - this purported thriller is way off the target.

Shorgul
Outdated in its approach, and tacky in its handling, ‘Shorgul’ disappoints on more counts than one.

Shootout At Wadala
...it has something new to offer and something to whistle for but as usual, it should have been far better than it turned out.

Shivaay
You just have to be the world’s biggest Ajay Devgn fan to keep your eyes peeled over 2 hours, 50 minutes, on him, all through a film.

Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene
A fairly smart script, cast that’s easy on the eye and it wouldn’t have been so tough to bring out a decent film. But unfortunately, director Gurmmeet Singh falters and what we get is a film that is sometimes perky, but mostly sloven and at times, plain boring.

Shanghai
...is a dark earthy film; it’s a drama played over and over again in front of us in the 9 pm news, these are characters we are acquainted with.

Shamitabh
Watch this movie for those sequences when the two leading men are on screen together — men as different as could be, but yet bound by the power of their undeniable talent.

Shakal Pe Mat Ja
...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.

Shakal Pe Mat Ja
After establishing the central characters, Makrand kind of loses his way in a myriad of peripheral subplots that really don't add anything to the pace or subject.

Shahid
Once in a while comes along a film that takes you aback by the direct and brutally honest approach it takes. Hansal Mehta’s Shahid is one such film.

Shagird
There are a few brilliant scenes in the film, which actually tempt you to get involved, but unfortunately the film lacks consistency.

Watch it if you're a die-hard horror freak and for the debut of Aditya Narayan, the future star on the horizon.

Shaandaar
The story lacks imagination, the screenplay is shoddy and the dialogues unfunny.

Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana
In an attempt to propagate the message of 'family-first', the movie employs misconceptions and stereotypes, making it impossible to engage with the lead characters.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
The film is fun but shallow, nevertheless. A pity, because with a subject of this kind, the possibilities were immense.

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.

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.

Satyameva Jayate
...given that it is sculpted to be a masala entertainer, the film is heavy only on action, not emotion
