This one's worth a watch only for Akshay Kumar. But if you're looking for laughs, Esha Gupta could help too.

The Legend of Michael Mishra
With aspirations of lampooning a lovestruck 'bhai' from Bihar, it sways from supposed comedy to unintentional tragedy and culminates in a headache from hell.

Fever
Director Rajeev Jhaveri attempts a Hollywood-style narrative with conviction but underestimating the audience's intellect and oversimplifying the plot makes it a tiring watch.

Budhia Singh
Despite being a film pegged on fighting over all odds, this one works not just as an inspirational watch, but for being an impression of the despicable state of affairs governing sports today.

Madaari
...is saved to large extent by its eponymous lead Irrfan Khan, who manages a striking performance, despite the predictable storyline.

Great Grand Masti
Only one piece of advice for those rushing to catch this: carry along a chastity belt. It would be useful only if worn over the head, covering your eyes and ears.

Sultan
He (Ali Abbas Zafar) builds the muscled monolith's narrative effectively to garner empathy for his turbulent journey.

Shorgul
A highoctane dialogue in the film reinstates the supposed moral of the film, "Dangon mein Hindu ya Mulasmaan nahin marta, insaniyat marta hain." While this is true, watching this film till the very end can be terminal for audiences of all religions too.

Raman Raghav 2.0
For director Anurag Kashyap, this film falls into a comfort zone that he thrives on with devilish delight.

Rough Book
...is tiringly slow, lazily written and offers no novel insight into the acute crisis that our educational system presently faces.

Udta Punjab
While the film wins for constructing jolting surprises, some of the performances are singularly unremarkable and the excessive and unnecessary violence is not exactly everyone's daily fix.

Dhanak
The film's one-dimensional storyline desperately seeks conflict but only ends up straying from uncertainties, much like Ram Gopal Varma films evade a steady camera.

...Dasgupta is committed in manipulating precisely what the audience notices, assumes and predicts from what plays out on the screen.

Housefull 3
...they only go on to prove that if laughter is the best medicine, this film will make you beg for euthanasia.

Veerappan
It's upsetting that Ram Gopal Varma fans have to put up with this. Even the very few and far between visual flourishes are merely reminders of an auteur that was.

Phobia
Director Pawan Kripalani manages to tightly pack in the thrills, with careful consideration of timing and audio-visual technique.

Waiting
The film deserves a watch for being one that doesn't try too hard and for its approach to an extreme situation.

Azhar
A problem with this film is that it won't agree well with ardent Azhar fans, given the slips in factual accuracy. And his detractors would argue against his engineered victim image in the film.

Buddha In A Traffic Jam
The issue with this film is not that it packs in too many issues. It's just that it has too many of its own.

Dear Dad
The problem with it is simple — not much happens. And what does, happens at a lethargic pace, which can be unnerving.

One Night Stand
Unlike the upbeat Meet Bros song in the film, Do peg maar aur bhool ja, this one will take much more to scrape off from memory.

Traffic
Organ donation is a noble cause that this film picks up to endorse. But the superficial focus on the humanitarian act only draws attention away from it.

Fan
If you're an SRK fan, you don't care for approval. But even if you aren't, this one's a thrilling watch.

Ki & Ka
When R Balki made his foray into Hindi films in 2007, he had an unadulterated approach to the medium. That vision seems to have, over time, become too formulaic and fails to garner more than half a chuckle.

Rocky Handsome
...a film so mindlessly gory that we even forget what triggered it all.

Kapoor & Sons
Director Shakun Batra has matured from a filmmaker solely capable of romcoms to one who can infuse depth into characters and script relationships in all its verity.
