Meeruthiya Gangsters
The pitfall of this film is writer- director Zeishan Quadri's amateurishly penned script.

Manjhi
A lighter touch might have made Manjhi - The Mountain Man a markedly more convincing biopic.

Gour Hari Dastaan
One, lead actor Vinay Pathak is clearly miscast. And two, the pace of the narrative is painfully ponderous.

Brothers
It makes so much noise that any sensible point about brotherly bonding and filial fidelity that it might be trying to make is completely drowned out by the decibels.

True to its title, Bangistan makes more than its share of noise. But this mildly wacky satire on the futility of religious bigotry does not make too much sense.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
...runs with this wafer-thin premise with such unbridled enthusiasm and vigour that you might be forgiven for wondering if the future of the universe hinged on it.

Bahubali
Scale of ambition: gargantuan. Quality of VFX: out of the ordinary. Content: only occasionally gripping. Final impact: pretty strong.

Guddu Rangeela
A lighthearted film about a deadly serious subject could have easily gone horribly wrong. Guddu Rangeela doesn't. It is lively, droll and occasionally thought-provoking.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
...is an anachronistic, tragic romance that touches an emotional chord, yet, makes you dismiss it as a regressive piece of art. The direction appears confused, with a present-day setting, while the treatment of the plot and characters belong to a bygone era.

Dil Dhadakne Do
It is an overly caramelised and flaky dysfunctional family drama that strives - and fails - to strike a balance between the sly and the syrupy.

Bombay Velvet

Gabbar Is Back
Clearly, nobody put the makers of this film through the paces. They might have then known how to make the best of their limited cinematic resources and craft something less mucky.

Do not pass up a sip of Margarita, With A Straw. It could be life-altering. If nothing else, it will soak you with its warmth.
