  • AK vs AK

    Avinash Sampath's script has many layers, with even the seemingly trivial bits having a lot to say about how the Hindi film industry works. The filmmaking moments also stand out here...

  • Coolie No.1

    ...it is a film typical of the 1990s Hindi cinema. David Dhawan has a knack for comedy, but with these serial remakes of his comedy classics, he has only overstayed his welcome.

  • Saaho

    If the idea behind watching Saaho is to witness the most expensive action thriller film out of India, then the amount of money thrown at every single frame is pretty evident, sometimes even unnecessarily. However, if you're planning to watch an enjoyable action film regardless of budget, that Netflix subscription is a pretty good investment to make use of.

  • Khandaani Shafakhana

    ...had the potential to be a transgressive piece of Cinema with its choice of theme and setup but all it ends up being is a flaccid attempt by Bollywood to capitalize on a social cause for a few extra bucks and momentary pleasure.

  • Judgemental Hai Kya

    They treat the 'mental' part of the title as if they meant 'demented' instead. The result is that people laugh inappropriately at her 'madness', and your popcorn loses its pop because the film is tiresome.

  • Family Of Thakurganj

    A veritable smorgasbord of character actors who are individually good and often are all crammed together in a hotch-potch revenge and double cross drama where the motives are so blurred that you don't care.

  • Malaal

    Meezaan and Sharmin Segal offer the same ole love story, a mish mash of every love story since Bollywood began making romances. The film is executed so poorly, you wonder why it is under the Bhansali banner.

  • One Day

    This is no whodunit, not even why-he-dun-it. It's a straightforward story laughably told. The usually reliable character actors are made to ham so much they seem to be competing for the Razzies.

  • Article 15

    The film tackles the tensions well, has shades of 'Mulk' (made by the same filmmaker) but the predictability of a cop's dilemma - to go by the rule book or instinct - remains the same.

  • Kabir Singh

    The misogyny is very difficult to swallow for 174 minutes. But the acting and the relationships between the characters make this film a decent watch.

  • Bharat

    In fact it is so boring, you wonder if 'bhai' has forgotten his fans come to watch 'action' not wimpy comedy. We live through his many jobs and his devotion to dad. It's two and a half hours of being average. Fans want more.

  • PM Narendra Modi

    All this would still be some degree of tolerable if all the whitewashing and manipulations were to lift the prestige of the nation. Alas, any and all of what we see benefits one man and one man only.

  • Kalank

    ...it's such a mish mash of everything from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge to Casablanca to Lawaris to Bahubali to Camelot and everything in between and presented to you in a language that is so pretentious that it exhausts your patience.

  • Romeo Akbar Walter

    What could have been an action packed drama seems to be caught in a quagmire of stereotypes and predictability. It is so slow it fails to hold your attention despite a good premise.

  • Notebook

    It's an official remake of Nicholas Sparks' romance made by Hollywood a while ago. Except this is set in Kashmir and hence stunning. Plus the newcomers are not bad at all, and the kids are the sweetest.

  • Kesari

    The final battle to the death is worth the watch, but when you see religion, patriotism, propaganda and soldiering mix in a movie timed for release during elections in India, you want to cringe but that would be politically incorrect.

  • Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota

    A homage to everything we grew up with: kung fu flicks, Bollywood revenge dramas, love stories, reality shows and yes, superhero movies. You will have a smile pasted on your face to watch this very different offering...

  • Photograph

    The movie pretends to be arty but the patchy story that goes round and round will not work with the multiplex audience. This film should have gone into a streaming service rather than into the theaters.

  • Badla

    ...the film is well adapted, but does feel like the plot is too convoluted, and it goes on and on, even though it lasts only for two hours.
