Calendar Girls
Lazy, simplistic and contrived, this tacky film has nothing even vaguely meaningful to say.

Bullett Raja
Despite all this interesting sub-text, the film fails to grip you with its central narrative.

Budhia Singh
...he director’s inclination to present young Budhia Singh (Mayur Patole) more as a victim than a hero, turns this movie into a reasonably good watch.

With its overworked plot devices, this slugfest has neither drama nor depth to offer.

Bombay Velvet
In trying so hard to achieve a snazzy feel, this film only comes across as phoney.

Bombairiya
The script of this film is no different. It throws up a lofty ideal and then quickly buries it in the absurdly meandering plot of its narrative.

Bol Bachchan
If you lower your taste several notches, you might find this slapstick film funny.

Bobby Jasoos

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.

Besharam

Begum Jaan
...is a disappointingly loud and hectoring film, with few scenes that allow the cast to be nuanced in the portrayal of their characters.

Banjo
...is a sincere and well intentioned film that has some watchable sequences, but fails eventually, as the sum of its parts just don't add up.

Band Baaja Baaraat
...gets the sound of go-getting Dilli pitch-perfect but slips up on the romance front.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
An extraordinarily eloquent film that has Salman Khan playing a worthy role instead of burnishing his brand image as an action hero.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania
The movie positions itself in popular culture as advocating the freedom of a woman to choose career over marriage. However, broken down into its individual segments, what we get is a virtual endorsement of harassment as a legitimate tool of persuasion.
