Monsoon Shootout
...there's little intensity as it all seems constructed and trite. Also to be pinned for this half-baked product would be the film's editing which is embarrassingly choppy—not in an indie way—but like the-editor-dozed-off-on-the-keyboard way.

Mom
Debutant director Ravi Udyawar brings his advertising sensibilities to cinema to ensure every scene is precise.

Mohalla Assi
...Mohalla Assi’s trivial issues and laboured execution only manage to leave you feeling sedated and groggy — its 120-minute runtime doesn’t even allow one to complete a single sleep cycle.

Moh Maya Money
A mystery this is not as the film follows the inevitable. But how it wraps up may not be anticipated and is worth a watch.

Mod
It should've stayed in the realm of a love story and resisted temptation to merge into thriller territory. Ultimately the film suffers for it.

Mitron
...this comedy-of-errors had the potential to snowball into a surprise hit. But a predictable plot and clichéd turns and twists reduce this two-hour watch into one that can be either skipped and caught later — when it airs on the telly or that digital streaming provider which hunts for such weekend afternoon comedies.

Mission Mangal
...seems a timely tribute to the unsung heroes who don’t wear a cape. But for a film that documents a singularly inspiring story, the writing doesn’t manage to conjure the thrill surrounding this epic achievement.

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho
Debutant director Vinod Kapri was astute in picking a subject that tabloid headlines are made of. But in execution, he couldn't convey the mood of the story.

Miss Lovely
...isn't for everyone, but if you're truly a cinephile, you should have no difficulty in finding merit in this layered, moody piece.

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

Mirza Juuliet
Some love stories are written in heaven, but this one promises to make you endure the flames of hell.

Mirch
...is not spicy enough, specially since it’s from the land of Kamasutra, but considering our blinkered approach to sex, it's a welcome effort and definitely worth seeing.

Miley Naa Miley Hum
The same old characters and their not-as-attractive sidekicks, the same old rehashed events.

Milan Talkies
It seems like this film was made in such a crazed frenzy to catch up with the wave of small towns stories that the makers couldn’t wait for the script to commence shooting.

Mickey Virus
The problem lies in execution. Mickey Virus tries too hard to straddle the two worlds of cutting edge tech and laid-back teeny Delhi in a Bollywood film.

Meri Pyaari Bindu
Director Akshay Roy fleshes out this one-sided love story sensitively but barely engages the audience in the experiences had by the lead cast.

Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai
The plot had tremendous potential, had it been backed by intelligent writing.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
It's all about formula, really. And it's the same old beaten bull.

Meeruthiya Gangsters
Debutant director Zeishan Quadri makes all the classical mistakes of a first-timer. To begin with, he seems too consumed with the idea of infusing humour in tense sequences.

Maximum
Maximum's problems start right up front. You have no idea where the story is heading because there is no crisis created, no path or goal imagined.

Mausam
While there is little doubt that Mausam is an honest effort to make a beautiful, even epic film, it is way off the mark, missing layers, and struggles to stay afloat.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
Fun for cineastes, lost on the public. However, the intersection of Bhardwaj’s extravagance, a business end catering to a perceived public palate, and the ineffective delivery of a social message is off centre and misses the bulls eye.

Mastizaade
...this material is credited to Mushtaq Sheikh and Milap Zaveri — two people who should be fined for owning a pen.

Mary Kom
...an inconsistent narrative that seems too hurried to strike the right balance between her personal life and career, and ends up biting off more than it can chew.

Marjaavaan
In this film, someone refers to a “dedh kilo ka dimaag” which is supposedly the most fierce weapon of all. If only it had been utilised, we wouldn’t have had to succumb to this crusade against better sense.

Mardaani 2
The decision to not have any songs eliminates the scope for distractions and the approximately 105 minutes that one invests in this watch is largely focussed and tense.
