That Girl in Yellow Boots
...it is the climax of this film that stays with you long after you've stepped out of the theatre. A betrayal so big, that it stuns the boots off you, yellow or otherwise.

Vishwaroop
Kamal Haasan's film is sensitive and mature but the basic problem is the inconsistent pace.

Meeruthiya Gangsters
The best thing about this film is that it doesn’t attempt to please.

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.

Manikarnika
Dainty but fierce, Ranaut plays Rani Lakshmibai with the ferocity that suits her character best. She leads the charge not just as an actor, but also as director, the baton she took over midway through the making of this film. One can't help but conjecture if there are really two separate movies here, given that two directors were helming it at different times.

Kesari
Maybe there's more to the battle. Or maybe this in-your-face, goose-bumpy ride—heartwarming, because its history; and hysterical, because it's that kinda movie—is just the best one can do. Well, either way, this works alright.

Ishqiya
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.

Revolver Rani
The film starts with much promise, with a kind of quirkiness and black humour that fits well with the subject in hand.

Rahasya
Clever filmmakers heavily bank on the curiosity factor that a given incident (in this case, the double murder) generates, but fortunately this film keeps you interested and thrilled through its just about two-hour running time.

Guddu Ki Gun
The best thing about this film is that it unpretentiously and unabashedly stays true to its genre, thriving on double meaning dialogues and cheesy scenes.

Bharat
...is not a patriotic or a jingoistic film, it has all the elements required to make a full-fledged masala pot-boiler.

The Shaukeens
Abhishek Sharma yet again manages to tickle our funny bones after his debut film, Tere Bin Laden.

Kaabil
... if you were to keep your eyes glued to the screen and follow the blind man's graphite walking stick right down to the picture's climax, I'm fairly certain you won't be disappointed. Yeah, it is, for the most part, kaabil-e-tareef!

...you know where this film is coming from. I'm actually really glad to know where it's going. Period.

Tumbbad
...an artsy, gutsy mix of mythology, history, horror, and moral science. Do these elements seamlessly add up for you to naturally feel for the characters in the story? Honestly, no. Does the incredibly strong visual craftsmanship (rare for an Indian indie) satisfyingly guide you into a world hitherto unseen/unknown? Oh, absolutely.

...makes you think, even long after you have finished watching the film. Something not that many films can boast of.

102 Not Out
The beauty of the film is that none of its pitfalls eventually matter. The movie wins you over with its innocence and simplicity.

it is largely thanks to a memorable performance by Randeep that your heart goes out and you might even end up shedding a few tears for the man...

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
This is very much "Bollywood", a style of storytelling that few if anyone understands better than director Karan Johar, whose EQ (emotional quotient) borders on genius levels, if you ask me.

Tumhari Sulu
This film, where Vidya shows up as a vivacious, fat Virar aunty, embodying all the compassions and contradictions within a modern desi woman, is not an exception, by any means. It is really as good as it gets.

Gold
...a thoroughly engaging sporting drama with all its necessary ingredients—namely infighting, warring egos, and sharp strategy...

Tanhaji
This isn't a perfect film, drags its feet at certain places, but coming from the bland battle of Panipat just a month ago, this clash between the Marathas and the Mughals would any day be a better option!

Table No. 21
...this Aditya Datt-directed film is worth a watch, thanks to the detour its message takes before delivering itself.
