Neerja
It has good performances but is otherwise just another biopic with nationalist overtones.

Raja Natwarlal
Although riddled with loopholes, this film is well-paced with some good performances.

Highway
An evocative ‘back-to- nature’ film that would have Indians ponder questions of identity.

Photograph
Like the personalities of all three characters, it results in a melancholic and unresolved ending to a very watchable film.

Not A Love Story
The making of this film so soon after the Grover murder is as macabre as the killing itself.

English Vinglish
What is admirable in English Vinglish is the stoic refusal to compromise realistic treatment with melodrama or cliche.

Laal Kaptaan

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara
The sequel has lost the charm of the original film.

Bharat
...is no masterpiece, but it is that rare thing, a film that bonds a family with a nation, and does it with affection. Any element of divisiveness is excluded. And that, in itself, is a good enough reason to watch it.

Baaghi 3
Tiger has a sculpted and finely chiselled torso that turns his action sequences into a dance form. But when the content in the script becomes slimmer, and, inversely, the propaganda element in the movie increases, the hero begins to look like an empty vessel.

John Day
...you have to say that the charisma of the two central actors holds you to your seat till the end.

Welcome 2 Karachi
Riddled with clichés posing as jokes, this comedy of a dumb duo is hard to watch.

Bala
...is an entertaining film. But ultimately, it is an unconvincing presentation on the tribulation of early hair loss.

Tezz
It tests your credulity, but even so, this high-speed train thriller is worth a watch.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns
The film moves from one lovely scene to another without a story.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
This is not a film, it’s a recipe for a romcom. And a very middle-class one at that.

Panga
...his is a well meaning movie that weaves the joys of domesticity with the sporting life, and turns both into a bit of a bore.

Chaalis Chauraasi
The film's plot is completely corny. Surprisingly, though, it works.

Delhi Belly
This juvenile movie may well be Aamir Khan's first big mistake as a producer.

Dil Dhadakne Do
This film is flat and tiresome, with little beyond the banal fixations of the idle rich.

Azhar
...the film is so fondly sentimental about Azhar that it stretches our credulity.

Karwaan
By the end of the film, you have enjoyed the scenery, laughed at Irrfan and his PJs, and ask the question on the tip of your tongue - what on earth were the makers of this movie smoking?

Game Over
...has a few genuinely scary scenes, but it is too schematic in structure and theme to work as a reflective thriller.

Angrezi Medium
It has a few short and funny scenes, interrupted by long and meandering conversations that do not appear to lead anywhere. This lack of overall balance in the narrative, affects your viewing concentration, and you cannot put your finger on the genre on display.

Freaky Ali
It is disappointing how this movie, with such a promising start, descends into cliches of the typical sports film.
