Chance Pe Dance
...has absolutely no freshness in the story or screenplay, very poor direction, combined with sloppy chemistry between the lead actors.

Chalo Dilli
...a reasonable movie to watch, but a minus half star for filching the story.

Chal Bhaag
...may have looked like a screwball crime comedy on paper, but you'd be hard pressed to come across a more awfully-executed production this year.

Watch this film for it’s lucid, dramatic presentation of a nation’s problems.

Chaar Sahibzade
Even if this is a passable watch for those unexposed to Pixar, it's time to move past the embryonic stages of a universe aching to be explored.

Chaalis Chauraasi
...an inconsistent, formulaic, generic caper-heist with little new to offer...

Calendar Girls
About 10 years dated, the excitement that bikini models in uncomfortable positions drew once, feels a bit misplaced today.

Bullett Raja
Here's hoping Tigmanshu Dhulia ditches this spurious chase and returns to form with his brand of movies - forged from truth and insight; straight from the heart - that we've come to love.

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.

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.

Bubble Gum
The problem is that here is a film that serves up nostalgia for adults, yet a major portion of this movie is designed for kids. It is in this quest for fine balance that Bubble Gum finds itself overreaching and falls short.

Brothers
Director Karan Malhotra has a unique ability. He can douse anything into a tub of glycerine and make even a movie about MMA into one about loving your parents.

Break Ke Baad
...is soulful in bits, but the shabby story never ever takes off, while the direction remains average. In the end Break Ke Baad stays a pretty but boring film.

I've had my fill with these South Indian action-comedy remakes and I suspect you have too.

Bombay Velvet
...a moderate Hollywood imitation; significant for the craft it brings on screen, but little more than an excessive footnote in a universal genre.

Bombay Talkies
Sure they have their blips and flaws, but Bombay Talkies made me want to stand up and break out into spontaneous applause on multiple occasion.

Bombairiya
...odd and impractical lapses in writing are meant to pass for hilarity in this supposed comedy of errors which can surely culminate in a headache.

Bol Bachchan
Even the genuinely funny bits are lost in a deluge of recycled jokes, preposterous situations, over the top 'drama' ...

Bodyguard
At the time of writing, Bodyguard is on its way to shatter all box office records. Does it really matter what I think?

Bobby Jasoos
It's a delightful caper with a lot of heart, and you root for both the film and it's protagonist all the way till the end.

Blood Money

Blank
Writer-director Behzad Khambata seems to have a healthy appetite for police procedurals and is aware of the basic construct required to make them tick. But in 2019, sticking to tropes can hardly trigger an exciting watch and the supposed turn in the climax seems more ridiculous than rational to be palatable.

Blackboard v/s Whiteboard
While it’s true that more movies must be made to bring to light the many fallacies in India’s public education system, this movie is a prime example of how not to go about it.

Bioscopewala
...claims to be “inspired by the characters” of the timeless classic hopes to retain the elements of the original story — of love, loss and redemption. In this pursuit, however, it drags the story in various directions — loosely packs in mystery but keeps it from turning into a procedural investigation.

Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain
This isn't an easy event to storify, because it is even harder to watch. While much of it merely lends grainy well-cut images to pages we've been hesitant to read about, this is a film that shouldn't be escaped.
