Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal
There’s not one situation that’s setup to induce laughs, and the writing is listless, witless, and ultimately humourless.

It’s hard to not be awed by the grandeur of the film, the lavish couture on display and the easy-on-the-eyes star cast. However, it’s also equally hard to ignore the fact that the filmmakers could have easily done so much more with the resources and premise they had at their disposal.

Kai Po Che!
...is interesting at many levels, deftly executed, and a film born out of conviction.

Story, technique, and performances are all in sync to produce a cracking film.

Kadvi Hawa
Films on how humans consistently pickle the environment tend to get too academic to hold one's attention or interest. Which is why a film such as Kadvi Hawa delivers the goods effectively and precisely without hammering it down.

Kaccha Limboo
...a film that is strictly slice-of-life with extremely weak plot points, falls well short of the target.

Kabir Singh
Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga barely alters his original script to localise this Telugu import. While most lines seem verbatim translations, some of the rage seems to have been diluted for a more universal appeal. In any case, snipping off 40 minutes from the runtime would’ve surely helped.

Kaanchi
...an ancient tragedy of behemoth proportions. Let's just hope that Mr Ghai regroups and doesn't end up like the other veteran director that hires his own students to make and break his movies.

Kaamyaab
...is a well-deserved tribute to those countless performers relegated to the fringes of every movie poster.

Kaalakaandi
Delhi Belly writer Akshat Verma is brave to embark on this celluloid experiment which has a few well-imagined sequences. If only he would have invested more in storytelling and character development, this could have been a memorable watch.

Kaagaz Ke Fools
...this one is presented in a dated and garish manner that makes you wonder if the filmmakers think this is actually a groundbreaking concept.

Junglee
It’s obvious that his (Chuck Russell) intentions here were to furnish the man-animal conflict and apprise one of the ramifications. But much seems to be lost in translation.

Julie 2
Modestly-budgeted sleazy fests of the kind rarely invest in story and plot and get right down to delivering the goods. Julie 2 shatters this notion and packs in so much plot, it will make your brains rot.

Jugni
If you need a reason to watch this film, it would be for the music and to take in rural Punjab like you've never seen in films before.

Judwaa 2
David Dhawan comedies scored for their nonsensical dialogue which would invariably rhyme without reason. But the lines here are alternately comic and cringe-worthy. That the veteran filmmaker hails from a period where little attention was paid to the final product, is also evident from the dated style in which this has been shot.

Judgemental Hai Kya
It almost seems like writer Kanika Dhillon (Manmarziyaan, Kedarnath) invested more in layering her leads with assorted idiosyncrasies than in directing this story to a sharp fold. To construct outrageous sequences is brave, cinematic even. But to do so excessively just to hammer down a message that is apparent from the very first frame, is just tiring.

Jolly LLB 2
Director Subhash Kapoor does well in keeping the audience glued to the screen and keeps the melodrama in check.

Joker
That it has not been promoted as a children's movie is confounding because surely the producers did not mean for it to be seen and enjoyed by thinking adults.

John Day
...claims to be an "edge of the seat thriller" on its poster. Considering the makers didn't set out to make one in the first place, one wonders how convinced they were about their own effort.

Jodi Breakers
The result is a compromised film when in reality, with its concept, Jodi Breakers could've been significantly more compelling.

Jo Hum Chahein
The age of playing safe, in cinema at least, is officially over. The idea that you take a 'classic' love story, update it for an urban milieu, cast new faces, record a bunch of songs, and spend some money on production design is frankly, dead.

Jo Dooba So Paar
Undoubtedly, there is intention and heart in the making, but JDSP only shines in spurts and despite its shortness, is unable to hold one's attention for the duration.

Jhootha Kahin Ka
The film’s grammatically-challenged tagline — “Liars need to have good memories” — is hopefully, inversely proportional to what the audience retains from this one — for the sake of their sanity.

Jhootha Hi Sahi
...a too clever by half attempt at telling a cool, nerdy story which falls flat on its face. The clumsy film is stuffed with cardboard characters, silly set ups with corny insider jokes and a sagging story line which is stretched right from the word go.

Even if you have an appetite for saas bahu sagas, the grade of chest beating this one endorses would be inappropriate if not fatal for your brain cells.

The film saves a major twist for the end, but that is, if you can survive it till then.
