Red Alert
Though the base material remains gripping, Red Alert is a bit slow in patches, with the complex Naxal issue getting a slightly filmy treatment.

Ready
When stars the size of Salman use such self-deprecating context-less humour, there is little chance of the audience not empathising.

Rann
...instead of a sharp well-nuanced expose with fresh insights, we get just another Rann of the mill Bollywood movie, suitably rehashed.

Rang Rasiya
...will be remembered not for its subversive images and tacky craft, but for its counterintuitive storytelling.

Ranchi Diaries
This one could pass for a B-grade film under the guise of a C-grade one.

Raman Raghav 2.0
For director Anurag Kashyap, this film falls into a comfort zone that he thrives on with devilish delight.

Ram-leela
...can we reward a film for the way it looks, superlative acting, and a director who knows exactly what he's doing despite the indulgence in the writing department that stretches the story to a point until it nearly snaps? Why not.

Rakht Charitra – I
By the end of the film, the voice over has become irritating and the violence nauseating, with everything blurring bloodily.

Rajjo
...is told with frantic cutting with little or no stay in scenes that demanded a lot more. It skims across themes: coming-of-age, social message, fictional biopic of the fall and rise and dwells on none.

Rajdhani Express
...may be the year’s first release but it is already in the running for the worst film of the year. Or ever.

Raja Natwarlal
This film is far from perfect, but makes for an acceptable non-Italian version of 'The Indian Job'-by entertaining solely within the confines of a revenge drama.

Raid
It doesn’t entirely capture your imagination but doesn’t rob you of your better sense either.

Ragini MMS
Props for the lead actors, who give their best, but are undone by an inept director

Ragini MMS - 2
Just as the makers expect us to believe Ragini MMS2 is actually a film, you can go ahead and imagine this to be a review.

Raees
SRK’s ardent fans have endured the actor’s terrible film choices for long. It’s about time they wake up and bite into the red chilly.

Race 3
If you felt the previous Race films were cocky, this one resembles a poultry farm.

Rabba Main Kya Karoon
Why would they venture into territory that is notorious for being but quicksand for newcomers these days? Either you go megabudget or you go off the beaten path. What is this?

Raazi
Unlike most films within the genre that focus chiefly on the ‘operation’, Raazi also delves into the debilitating position that secret agents who stumble in and out of the margins of history must sometimes assume.

Raaz Reboot
If Vikram Bhatt fancies himself as a weaver of stories, he's gone over the hemline of logic here. Leaning on tested techniques of evoking fear, the eventual jolt never lives up to the build-up.

Raaz 3
There's certainly an audience out there, given that this is the third film in a franchisee. But I have a feeling that it's sinking rapidly.

Raat Gayi Baat Gayi
The writing is clever, the dialogue often very witty. But the screenplay falters from time to time.

Raanjhanaa
...It is arguably the best love story of the year so far, the kind of film others in the genre should aspire.

Raag Desh
This one has a compelling story that allows one to look beyond semantics but half-heartedly fleshed out parallel tracks and jump cuts between the courtroom and the war zone, become much to bear.
