Angrezi Medium
...pulls itself (and the audience) into so many different (and opposite) directions, all at the same time, that after a blunt point, you begin to lose interest altogether.

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.

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.

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

No Fathers In Kashmir
...isn't without loopholes. But you are willing to let them pass because the film makes a brave point - no one deserves to be woken up in the midst of the night by the resounding noise of bullets. Can this be rectified? The film makes an earnest plea, urging us to do our best.

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

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.

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.

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

Khoobsurat
Director Shashanka Ghosh does a decent job of presenting a fantasy tale, but wish it offered a little more than what was expected from this film even before entering the theatre.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
