Pink
A rare Indian film which has the feel of European and other Asian cinemas, and yet is firmly grounded in the realities of Mumbai.

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.

Queen
...a squarely mainstream film. Simplistic? Undemanding? Perhaps. But ultimately it is immensely warm and winsome, pressing just the right emotional buttons.

Love Sex Aur Dhokha
It’s an outstanding criss-cross of relationships between three men about the house.

Talaash
A well dressed film but makes one wonder if it would have been better off as a study in sorrow.

Gattu
No mawkish melodrama here; its sensitivity and a wry sense of humour bring the film alive. Unhurried and measured.

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.

Sometimes, good movies can be made on the trifles of life than on a big idea. Gauri Shinde has made one.

Singh Saab The Great
Shows how the Anil Sharma brand of cinema seems so utterly redundant now.

Vicky Donor
It’s been so long since a movie elicited laughs without cringes. It is unapologetic, unadulterated fun.

Debutant Bejoy Nambiar, working with a plot that has traces of Anurag Kashyap's unreleased film Paanch, directs this thriller with a deftness of touch.

Dedh Ishqiya
Chaubey’s caper scores with its delectable atmosphere, seeped in culture and music. It’s a world of paan, poetry and protocol, of erudition and affectations. Rarely has crime been served so sodden in nostalgia.

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

Makkhi
Take the age-old reincarnation theme, add a dash of fantasy and sci-fi, with an implicit moral and you get a winsome film.

Although it sags towards the end, Peepli Live is carried on the shoulders of its talented cast...

Miss Lovely
It peels the makeup off the glamour world, shows the ugliness, dirt, slime and debauchery on the periphery, however offensive it may be. It doesn’t aim to please.

Chittagong
Instead of portraying the chapters of history we’re all familiar with, it foregrounds a sadly lost slice.
