Kabir Singh
...is an unmistakably misogynistic film, but the sad part is that it’s exactly these troubling portions that the filmmakers peddle as intense love. Even more sad is that there will be many who’ll buy into it.

Bharat
...is exhausting and pointless. It exists only to add to the legend of Salman Khan as the selfless provider, the man who has a heart as big as his biceps. In Bharat, Salman Khan plays Bhai.

Baaghi 3
...hangs by a thread off its leading man’s strong shoulders. Tiger is the only reason the film isn’t completely unwatchable.

Khandaani Shafakhana
...has many plot points—the importance of traditional medical practices for instance --that if developed carefully could have packed in a lot more punch but end up merely being missed opportunities.

The impressively staged but ultimately exhausting action sequences take up the bulk of screen time, but they can’t salvage this soulless film that has all the depth and emotional wallop of a video game.

I was bored to death as Ujda Chaman unfolded slowly, verrrry slowly over two long hours.

Love Aaj Kal
...is pretty awful and dreadfully boring. It’s also overlong and hammy. The pursuit of romantic fulfilment has seldom felt so banal.

Radhe
...is a collage of high-pitched songs and slow-motion shots that made us cringe even five years back. You need to have a high appetite for Khan’s antics to enjoy this one.

Dabangg 3
The film feels like a string of unimaginative, repetitive action scenes strung together, pausing every few minutes for an underwhelming song.

Coolie No.1
...it seems like a never ending saga of painful comedy and mistimed tragedy.

The Tashkent Files
By eschewing the tenets of effective filmmaking, The Tashkent Files fails to get both, the fact and fiction right.

Marjaavaan
I came away from Marjaavaan bored and exhausted. It’s literally a film with no perceivable merit, and one that begs two key questions: How did this film get made? And why are we being taken for a ride?
