Tanu Weds Manu Returns
...vindicates the general belief that Kangana is currently in a zone where she can do no wrong.

Tanu Weds Manu
Though the director picked up an interesting subject, he has not succeeded in executing his story effectively on screen - there are not enough laughs in the film.

Tanhaji
...is impressively mounted and the climactic sequences are first-rate. But too much artifice and too little authenticity is the film's bane.

Tamasha
An off-the beaten track love story that does not go far enough with its surprises, Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha is a film that flatters to deceive.

Tamanchey
A stodgy and aimless noir drama, it is a rusty gun that fires noisy blanks without making any impact at all.

Talvar
Mining riveting yet balanced drama from a real-life murder case lost in a tangled web of fact, fiction, hearsay and insinuations could not have been easy. But not a wee bit of the effort shows.

Talaash
By no means is Talaash the end of your search for the perfect whodunit. But there is so much going for this compelling, slow-burning, well-acted tale set in the dark, grimy underbelly of Mumbai that you can barely take your eye off the screen.

Table No. 21
This is a well-meaning film. It even has a relevant social message appended to its ending. Unfortunately, along the way, it yo-yos wildly between semblances of profundity and dashes of pulp.

Super Nani
A preachy and mawkish drama about a woman neglected, scorned and tormented by her own oafish family, Super Nani makes its pro-women's empowerment statement with the finesse of a bulldozer run amok.

Super 30
...it tells a true story but it never rings true. Nothing in the film is less convincing than the lead performance. The idea to bronze up Hrithik Roshan so that he can impersonate Anand Kumar is anything but super: it is a formula that equals zero.

Sultan
...is a case of a superstar vehicle latching on to the current trend of sports films but failing to achieve the requisite grounding in the rough and tumble of the wrestling pits to evolve into a convincing drama.

Sui Dhaaga
...falls well short of perfection, but it never comes unstuck. It passes muster as a wholesome entertainer embellished with humour, warmth, authentic emotional trappings and actors adept at going seamlessly along with the flow.

Student Of The Year 2
This is brainlessly breezy fare wrapped in gloss that wears off quickly. It is sad to see such silly stuff being palmed off as teen entertainment.

Student Of The Year
...if you like your entertainment to be served up with glitzy but pulpy garnishing, pirouette your way to the nearest screen by all means.

Striker
...is the kind of film that fills you with regret. There is skilful direction here, some nicely etched moments and commendable performances and yet the film never gathers enough momentum to make an impact. Striker never becomes the film it could have been.

Street Dancer 3D
It is an edifice built on a weak foundation: yes, a mound of rubble is what Street Dancer 3D as it collapses under its own weight. It whips up, in an unseemly fit of frenzy, a purported celebration of dance. Cinema is given short shrift in the bargain.

Stree
...plays an unwavering hand in demonstrating that dread can be unbridled fun when it serves a larger thematic purpose. Go watch this spine-tingling film. It is completely madcap but there is method in its manic madness.

Stanley Ka Dabba
...has an inherent sweetness and honesty that will stay with you long after the film is over.

Speedy Singhs
Speedy Singhs derives its plot conventions from a multiplicity of genres. It's a sports flick, a family drama, a Hollywood rom-com and a fluffy, feel-good Bollywood ride all rolled in one. Take your pick.

Special 26
...is an intelligently scripted, superbly acted, enthralling and believable heist film that is more than just that.

Soorma
...Bollywood just doesn't do sports well. Its rules militate against the genre. Soorma, a wasted opportunity, demonstrates why and how.

Sonchiriya

Sonali Cable

Son Of Sardaar
Poppycock in Phagwara: that is what the film should have been named. While the men on the screen defy gravity at will, the narrative defies logic without a care.

Singham Returns
...unfolds with relentless vehemence, the question that pops into mind is: who will fight for our freedom from the weekly assault of bad cinema? Don’t expect the film’s director and action designer Rohit Shetty to be of any help in this regard.

Singham

Singh Is Bliing
What is irretrievably amiss with the film is that nothing it says manages to drift anywhere near some degree of coherence.
