Game
...a rocky, unconvincing gamble for such a massive canvas. The culprit is a usual suspect: the screenplay.

Gali Guleiyan
Writer-director Dipesh Jain invests in his characters and encourages audiences to experience their lives and speculate about the circumstances they find themselves in. The film, for a large part, manages to effectively convey the discomfort the characters endure.

Gali Gali Chor Hai
...seems not only incomplete in thought but also technically: Basic scene to scene transitions missing, uneven sound.. the film leaves you deeply unsatisfied.

Gabbar Is Back
...by the time the same plot is passed through four commercial factory machines, nothing is decipherable. Gabbar is the end of it hopefully, with nothing left to squeeze out.

Fukrey Returns
If one approaches this one as a comedy, it would be mildly satisfying as it sporadically strays into the thriller space and the strategically-planted comic elements seem forced and constructed. But hope for nothing, and you won't be bitterly disappointed.

Fukrey
...the small film experiment about life's trivialities manages to entertain for most part.

This would also cater to those who want to avoid the blazing heat and spend a couple of hours in an air-conditioned environment.

From Sydney With Love
Nobody wants to see cliches with newcomer actors with their set of stock expressions.

Fraud Saiyaan
It’s the kind of watch that makes you squirm till you shrink into your seat.

Force 2
While director Abhinay Deo sticks to the tropes, the film goes south in its reveal, which barely lives up to the buildup.

Force
...you're pleasantly surprised to find Kamat handling the genre like he would a serious drama, injecting much needed slickness and restraining from going fantasy-levels over the top.

Fireflies
...a brave effort, natural and languid for most parts. However, it fails to glow through its foreseeable conflicts and layers, and ends up being a statement in craft over storytelling.

Firangi
There are films that seem bearable when you go in with zero expectations and there are those that disappoint even when you're prepared to have your brains grilled. No prize for guessing which category this one falls in.

Finding Fanny
This film is exactly the kind of brave clutter-breaking effort that most critics wish for while lamenting the rigidness of mainstream stars. That it left me grinning long after the credit-roll is a testament to its ability to amuse, without resorting to gimmicky slapstick or toilet humour.

It is still worth a watch, at least for a genuinely unique protagonist that almost overshadows a botched-up final act.

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.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
...tries too hard. With it's manipulative music, serendipity-dependent writing, over the top characters and it's length, it does get a little tedious.

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

Family Of Thakurganj
While a bit late in the day, filmmakers are waking up to the prospect of producing their own version of Gangs of Wasseypur. Sadly, their ambitions aren’t backed by compelling writing, a commendable cast or even a maker who could assemble a narrative.

Evening Shadows
...the welcome turn that Indian society has taken towards its view on the queer community in recent years will have a direct impact on how the same content will now be viewed and assimilated. In such a light, Sridhar Rangayan’s Evening Shadows seems a bit dated.
