Son Of Sardaar
...the film leaves you with a smile and warmth that last long after the film is over.

Son Of Sardaar
The movie grips you but gets plodding in the middle with its convoluted yet simplistic discussions.

Ankhon Dekhi
...a film that moves, provokes, sets you thinking and questioning but doesn’t provide you any easy answers. But it does take you on an enriching journey within if you allow yourself to flow with its current.

Ankhon Dekhi
Mainstream cinema has a way of simplifying the most complex of issues, but in that simplicity, it also manages to touch a chord, reach out and even initiate debate. Prakash Jha fails to do any of that with Aarakshan.

Ankhon Dekhi
Fails to measure up to what it is inspired from — the most famous 'death' film, Anand.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
A string of spectacular dance set-pieces linked together by random scenes.

Action Jackson
Cartoonish characters, mindless comedy...a blatantly chauvinistic wannabe blockbuster.

Agent Vinod
There is an incredible urge to run a fine comb through Agent Vinod, to straighten the several strands, trajectories, characters, locations that end up as one big clutter in the mind’s eye.

Aladin
Sandwiched in between is a boring love story of the shy Aladin (Ritesh), and Jasmine (Jacqueline, who fills in well as the smiling wallpaper). Aladin, like Drona and Love Story 2039, is ambition gone awry.

Aligarh
...an excellent film about every human being’s need and right to love and be loved.

Always Kabhi Kabhi
A frothy high school romance with a message-in-the-bottle that could have been fun had it not been so exasperating.

Azhar
Seems like an attempt to narrate the player’s side of the story, finally exonerative, but with a happy ending.

B.A. Pass
Starts off rather well, but as the film progresses the treatment gets too ham-fisted.

Baby
In the name of supposed 'realism', the film plays on and magnifies the popular perceptions about 'Islamic terror'.

Badmaash Company
Begins well, there are some nice moments, but the second half gets way too moralistic.

Band Baaja Baaraat
...what makes it special is that it feels delightfully real, is strongly rooted in contemporary Delhi middle class.

Bang Bang!
Obviously strange to buy the remake rights of a mediocre Hollywood film. More bizarre to fashion an even worse Hindi film out of it.

Barfi!
Much too crafted and self-consciously gorgeous; feels eminently facile and plastic—tries way too hard to please.

Bbuddah...Hoga Terra Baap
Tries way too hard and as a result feels more desperate than delicious.

Besharam
Remains unbearably unfunny from the first shot to the last—irritates and exasperates rather than bring out a chuckle.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
There is a compelling biopic hidden somewhere in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, about an athlete with a traumatic childhood facing up to and conquering the ghosts of his past. But the overwritten film meanders aimlessly.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
The first half promises a cat-and-mouse game, but, post interval, it fumbles to a denouement...

Bhoothnath Returns
The film’s structure gets lopsided, the second half is uneven and overstretched, and often the director ends up overstating his good intentions.

Bittoo Boss
The movie tries to capture the promiscuity and amorality in our lives, especially in the small towns. However, interesting social observations don’t necessarily a good film make.

Blood Money
Feels like a rerun of Vishesh Films’ Jannat. Much too insipid. Cliches abound.
