Great Grand Masti
...if there’s one remarkable thing about this film, it’s that Shivdasani, Deshmukh and Oberoi see merit in reprising their parts as lascivious men driven by under-serviced libidos, and invest those roles with such energy and commitment.

Gour Hari Dastaan
Gour Hari Dastaan’s relevance to modern Indian society, where Gandhi’s head on money is emblematic of him rather than his teachings, is one of the thoughts that resonates in this “tribute”.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein
Malhotra’s desire to engage with the issues that matter seems to be a response to criticism that Bollywood needs to move out of la-la land and in the direction of realistic cinema, but Gori Tere Pyaar Mein! is proof that this journey is not for everybody.

The story itself is a nice idea, but that extra beat, that crucial unwillingness to trust the viewer, reveals the film’s insecurities.

Go Goa Gone
The story moves determinedly in the direction of zombie movie predictability, but the hilarious repartee is never far behind.

Gippi
The film has the universally acceptable message that most self-help books will give you: love your flaws, love yourself. A film needs some more meat; it can’t thrive on a message. When storytelling, characterization and performance are lost, all is lost.

Ghayal Once Again
Deol is sincere and still evokes whistles when he lets loose his right hook. Fans of the Deol brand of action won’t be disappointed.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
...a blow-out. The violence soars spectacularly, but the story does not rise above the mundane. It is a smug, tiresome follow-up

Gangs Of Wasseypur
...is relentless in its ability to entertain, and that’s possible purely because of highly accomplished film-making. A new template for the Indian blockbuster.

Gangoobai
Writer and director Priya Krishnaswamy keeps the proceedings simple and the emotions even simpler.

G Kutta Se
...this is a sharp, pitiless look at a society governed by feudal minds overly concerned with women’s honour while utterly dismissive of their rights. G Kutta Se might seem violent and unsubtle. Then again, so might India.

Fukrey Returns
It’s hard to see a film that seemed as casually tossed off as Fukrey gain a follow-up that’s so labored.

Freaky Ali
He (director Sohail Khan) squanders the dramatic potential of the plot and ends up with a puerile comedy involving dons, puns and women as eye candy.

Force 2
In an effort to extend the brand and build it into a franchise, a shallow story has been laced together between ambitious action set pieces.

Fitoor
As it stands, Fitoor is about Noor, Noor is all about Firdaus, and Firdaus is a beautiful blank.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
...has heart, a time-tested premise and some good performances. It tries hard to tow the formula, and yet it’s worth a watch if you can ignore the time-consuming excess.

Fanney Khan
...is a well-meaning feint at the issue of body-shaming and an exhortation to not give up on one’s dreams. Yet, it also shows the yawning chasm between intent and execution into which so many Hindi films fall.

It’s been a while since Khan did anything that involved the turning on of one personality, let alone two. Fan is a welcome correction.

There is endless punning, a play on the names of actors and iconic Hindi movies, SMS forward-worthy jokes and the idea that a dog can get the better of humans.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami
