Dhoom 3
It's Dhoom man! It's about Jai, Ali, bikes, Katrina and that god of acting Aamir Khan!

Dhobi Ghat
...strictly remains an art house film with limited appeal, and its subtitle, Mumbai Diaries, captures the genre of the film correctly.

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.

Dhadak
Director Shashank Khaitan, who previously helmed Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, plays it safe with this Rajasthani runaway bride. Sticking to tested tropes, he barely reinvents the premise of the original.

Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
It's good, but I'd much rather enjoy this director's cheeky experiments with characters and convention, over pulp and form. Banerjee is the truth, but must he prove his versatility?

Desi Boyz
It's reasonably paced; doesn't assume the audience to have the IQ of a goat;despite objectifying women, is not entirely regressive; does justice to it production value and has even got a scene or two that will make you laugh outloud.

Delhi Safari
Even though the target audience is kids, Advani doesn't talk down to them. This is one of those rare instances of a children's film - animated or not - that respects its audience.

Delhi In A Day
...would've been a more relevant a decade ago when the idea of a 'crossover' prevailed on the indie film scene.

Delhi Belly
It's a film so irreverent, so unapologetic, it'd be surprising if it didn't go on to become cult.

Dekh Tamasha Dekh
The power of this bizarre premise lies in its' unyielding narrative style— peppered with a bunch of motley characters that add little by way of pace, but offer great scope for priceless set pieces.

Dedh Ishqiya
Abhishek Chaubey's direction is sure footed and - like he did with the first film - he pays attention craft, striving for an uncompromised end product. He succeeds by and large.

Dear Zindagi
This one is a mood film. No surprises, no revelations mid-way, but if you have a mushy-minded mate, this would make for quite a date.

Dear Maya
Director Sunaina Bhatnagar had a noble vision: to capture the drama and debiliation of negotiating the teenage years. And while she manages to a certain extent, her naive, one-dimmensional characters fail to engage and subsequently interest one in the proceedings which seem to drag on endlessly.

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

De De Pyaar De
Akiv Ali (director, editor) and Luv Ranjan (producer, writer, screenplay) know precisely what each scene in this film is supposed to do and score largely for the tropes they don’t introduce to this story. The build-up gets dangerously close to that tipping point from where one expects it to nose-dive, but it doesn’t.

De Dana Dan
...extra loud and grating experience, with everyone trying a bit too hard at that same mish mash of sex, money marriage comedy garnished with boringly familiar ingredients.

David
For it’s sheer spunk, look, music, performances, and momentary highs, David is a film worth looking into.

Darr @The Mall
Within the confines of this stumbling genre, director Kirpalani does a decent job with a predictable script. There is only so much originality left to operate with; even the ghosts have begun to look alike.

Dangerous Ishhq
...all you get is a new concept but the focus is solely on style. The film is bereft of substance...

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

Damadamm
There is sensitivity and earnestness in the writing that the actors - specifically both women - are able to translate into something identifiable.

Dabangg 3
Salman Khan, at 53, pulls off his cocky cop avatar with excessively smug dialogue, devastating dropkicks and by packing a dance number while getting jiggy with his belt. After all, his ardent fans couldn’t care less for the conventional metrics of evaluating a film. And when the going gets painfully formulaic or predictable, toss in an item song for good measure.

Dabangg 2
...aren’t we tired of watching the same film in its various avatar over and over again? It’s the same gimmicky action sequences, same item numbers, with the same actors telling us the same unoriginal story.

Dabangg
Though the story is a pure mishmash right out of the potboiler films of the 70s, it's styled and spoken with today's hip attitude. Dabangg is chavanni chhap entertainment, easy to ridicule but toughest to create.

The film’s plot seems unnecessarily layered and often forces one to recount the various permutations to keep up with where the story is possibly headed.
