Hindi Medium
Director Saket Chaudhary deserves credit for putting together this comedy without making light of the subject itself.

Meri Pyaari Bindu
Director Akshay Roy fleshes out this one-sided love story sensitively but barely engages the audience in the experiences had by the lead cast.

Sarkar 3
Once a revolutionary filmmaker, that Ram Gopal Varma trailed away from his original vision isn't news anymore. But it's upsetting to see a filmmaker assassinate his own franchise by excessively indulging in visual gimmicks.

Mantostaan
Lack of research, exaggerated violence and a forced attempt at stitching the short stories together makes this an exhausting watch.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
With Bahubali: The Begining, S S Rajamouli gave us an epic that generations from now will watch — to appreciate and analyse, academically. With this sequel, he sets a milestone in visual technique and also establishes a benchmark in storytelling.

Noor
...this one's a bit too ambitious for a film with zero vision. The issue is that Noor stands for everything and sits down for nothing in particular.

Maatr
This may not be as edgy or dark as NH10, but packs in the same amount of trauma.

Begum Jaan
Borrowing the tropes of saas bahu soaps, this one includes frequent close-ups and dramatic dialogues, intensified with gimmicks such as a sudden gust of wind blowing through them locks or a situational turn in the weather.

Mirza Juuliet
Some love stories are written in heaven, but this one promises to make you endure the flames of hell.

Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana
But it’s not just the plot, even the execution is below average and the cinematography leaves much to be desired.

Mukti Bhawan
Those hopeful for a rib-tickling comedy will be disappointed. This one is sharp, subtle and subliminally draws humour from misery.

Naam Shabana
...if you're up for a flick about a lady agent kicking serious behinds, this could float your boat. Even otherwise, it's worth a watch.

Poorna
While Poorna is dedicated to two people who happen to be the maker's "auricles and ventricles", it ironically lacks just that — heart.

Anaarkali Of Aarah
Writer-director Avinash Das deserves credit for drafting visuals that build tension and keep one consistently worried for the characters on screen.

Phillauri
This may manage to capture the imagination of tweens and under. Also, if patience is a virtue you pride on, the pace of this film will put you through a grueling test.

Aagaya Hero
It is upsetting to see Govinda here. With an enviable filmography, one wants to remember him as the ‘Number 1’ star whose memorable one-liners and dance numbers can’t be replicated by any contemporary actor.

Machine
With a filmography jam-packed with adaptations, why director duo Abbas-Mustan lose the plot here, is perhaps because there was no source material to go back to. If there was, it was surely not worthy of a remake.

Trapped
Director Vikramaditya Motwane deserves credit, not just for delivering on the construct, but for opening doors to filmmakers who will now dare to pitch a concept without worrying about the traditional yardsticks that govern the commerce of cinema.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
...treading the fine line between preachy and peachy, this one keeps you intermittently entertained and interested in the proceedings, even while the shallow attempt at female empowerment seems a bit jaded.

Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai
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.

Commando 2
...this recipe for disproportionate collateral damage trails along predictably, has a dozen loopholes in the plot and folds up with a few revelations and fewer thrills.

Irada
...the film has a noble irada. But the laboured lecture that it ends up becoming ensures the message is spelt out repeatedly until it becomes a tiresome affair.

Running Shaadi
...this one had potential for a crackling comedy. But it fails to capitalise on the quirks as it is too consumed by the basic premise and dives right into the pitfalls.

The Ghazi Attack
The film packs in enough near-collisions, engine failures and torpedo evasions to keep you excited through most of the 125 minutes that make up its runtime.

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

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.

Coffee With D
A supposed comic satire that hopes to mock the state of Indian news channels, this one manages little beyond lewd humour and tacky production values.
