  • Ok Jaanu

    Retelling a story in another language means being sensitive to the nuances of the recipient language as not everything will translate precisely, something that wasn't taken into account here.

  • Haraamkhor

    ...may not be a film that sets a cinematic benchmark but it is an important one as it dares to explore a forbidden subject, without condemning or legitimising it.

  • Dangal

    Whether it will be a bestseller or not, the Dangal book deserves to be watched with your children and later, kept on your shelf.

  • Befikre

    For an Aditya Chopra film, this one is disappointing. The director, credited for epic romances, seems to be too consumed by his exploration of contemporary relationships, to be bothered to construct a story worth telling.

  • Tum Bin 2

    If you're going through a rough patch in your relationship, opt for this one. It will convince you that you're better off by yourself.

  • Force 2

    While director Abhinay Deo sticks to the tropes, the film goes south in its reveal, which barely lives up to the buildup.

  • Rock On 2

    ...Shujaat Saudagar is fairly immersed in storytelling. But in the second half, the film nosedives like the film's lead, pouncing into the audience during a show.

  • Mahayoddha Rama

    For those who've watched the televised version in the '80s on Doordarshan, this would hardly be nostalgic. If anything, it will ruin your childhood memories forever.

  • Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

    Extending the boundaries of his pet theme of love and friendship, Johar attempts to be Imtiaz Ali here. But in this regard, he fails miserably in drafting his character's journey.

  • Shivaay

    This film could've been one of the best-conceived action films in recent times, if only it could cut back on the melodrama, most dialogues and perhaps, Vir Das.

  • Saat Uchhakkey

    If you have the capacity to endure much gaalis (almost every dialogue ends with a ‘BC’ or equivalent) and have an appetite for Priyadarshan-like no-brainers, here’s 140 minutes of just that.

  • Mirzya

    ...director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra offers an art hop here, where every frame is singularly fascinating, yet often, devoid of sense.

  • M.S. Dhoni

    While this would qualify as an average watch, in a cricket-crazed nation like ours, this hagiographic tribute serves as the highlights of an iconic match — packed with best shots, wickets and commentary to match.

  • Banjo

    Riteish's signature line, which his character mumbles throughout the film, has a consistent prefix, "Life tumhe do choices deti hain..." For the audience, there's an option to skip this film or perish in a multiplex near you.

  • Parched

    She (Leena Yadav) layers her characters with a delicious mix of pain and pleasure but tries a bit too hard to seek empathy for them.

  • Raaz Reboot

    If Vikram Bhatt fancies himself as a weaver of stories, he's gone over the hemline of logic here. Leaning on tested techniques of evoking fear, the eventual jolt never lives up to the build-up.

  • Pink

    The most pertinent point this film underlines is the feudal mindset of the milieu, amplified by the sense of male entitlement that eliminates consent.

  • Island City

    Writer-director Ruchika Oberoi's Fedora prize at last year's Venice Film Festival for Island City is well-deserved. Her approach to storytelling could be variously inspired by many, but she delivers on the style and format to make this a compelling watch.
