Even then this could have been an engaging watch, if not spoiled by that constant assault on one's eardrums.

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.

Rakht Charitra – I
...gripping, gritty and genuine. If you can bear the gore, then watch it.

The film could have been dull given a rather down-to-earth narrative but the performance-driven structure keeps you captivated.

Dharam Sankat Mein
Director Fuwad Khan should get the credit for choosing a sensitive subject with the right kind of intention, but unfortunately, the end result is far from what it could have been.

Phantom
Flaws aside, it talks of a real concern facing all of us, even while taking a flight of fantasy.

The Last Color
...the pacing is a little too deliberate and stilted and the tone borders on preachy. Even so, as a first-time effort, this film deserves all the applause it can get!

Rajesh Mapuskar, take a bow. Your story is intimate, the telling is lovingly detailed.

Singh Is Bliing
...if described in two words, is random and silly. But, fortunately, it is this randomness that also makes it a breezy, entertaining film for most part of it.

Begum Jaan
This picture, though slightly low-budget, is more over-the-top, or bombastic, driven to much melodrama, in the interest of grabbing attention, and popular entertainment, as it were.

Dabangg
...essentially a formula film and the script could've done with some more highs.

Roy
Debutant director Vikramit Singh thankfully steers away from the obvious and the melodramatic and chooses to present this interesting concept with a soft, subtle and delightfully imaginative filter.

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.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
The genre is the same, but the story and treatment pleasantly surprises you with a lot more depth.

Rangoon
...too many things have been mixed into one film. But attempted with eye-popping chutzpah. Over years, it's another matter if you've liked all his movies or not, what you have to credit Bhardwaj for is sheer audacity, and flight of imagination. He takes a chance.

2.0
The star is the director Shankar still. As a story-teller, you can tell, he could do with simplicity, and a better sense of proportion. As a filmmaker, he's sheer genius. Need better proof? Yes, you could catch 2.0.

AK vs AK
Outside of casual voyeurism boxed into a genre flick, what are you supposed to make of this spoof of a spoof (showbiz/celebrity lives)? That's thing about stuff that's meta—you gotta look beyond what you see.

Never mind the nostalgia. This one's more than a remake. And it has enough masala to last for a while.

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.

A fine sign of our times, I'd say, and if the arrow also leads to theatres, yes, it's worth going, and supporting, for sure.

...glaring hiccups in an otherwise watchable and frankly, very enjoyable film. Just don't hope for a warts-and-all biopic.
