Ok Jaanu
...cannot shrug off the identity of a remake. It’s like two people who’ve watched the original consciously recreating it for an audience unfamiliar to the original.

Dangal
Unlike the overblown Sultan with a somewhat similar milieu, Tiwari's account of inspiring reality is lot more understated in its approach.

Befikre
If Befikre's sole objective is to prove Aditya Chopra's not a prude, he only embarrasses himself by going overboard with two sexually explicit characters who might even be more fond of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge than he is.

Befikre
...much of Befikre is loaded with a carefree spirit. It is joyful and it will make you smile.

Dear Zindagi
Alia is remarkably perceptive and there's a catchy rhythm to her interactions with SRK neither ever forgetting she is principal, he is peripheral. The breakthrough she makes, the healing he offers, the bond they form extends across the screen.

Dear Zindagi
...is a lovely picture, made with finesse and heart, and one that not only takes some stigma off the idea of seeking therapy, but -- in the most natural of ways -- goes a long way in making a viewer think of the people who matter most.

Force 2
The fundamental flaw in a film like this -- other than the repetitive wowlessness of it all -- is the fact that by creating too dry and no-nonsense protagonists instead of fleshing them out as characters, you end up failing the genre.

Rock On 2
Sure, it's a good-looking film featuring several long shots of people blessed with ridiculously gorgeous balcony views but its deadpan emotionality renders it bland. Soulless.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
The heart wants what it wants, and sometimes all we need is a compelling reason to cry. Thank you, Karan Johar. For this film feels like a sob.

To evoke a truly superb avalanche-filled film, this one may as well have been called Force Manure.

31st October
While a film like 31st October does play an important role in jabbing at the Collective Conscience of a nation, Patil does no justice to the story with his lame helmsmanship and equally disappointing narrative.

...may not be a great film but it’s better than all those Bollywood movies which make oodles of money but have no story.

MSG The Warrior – Lion Heart
...amateurish acting, shoddy direction, trashy effects, over-the-top action and not-funny dialogues.

Mirzya
Neither this intense-because-we-say-it-is romance running through the film or the soft-focus-myth is actually interesting, and -- shorn of love, or moments -- Mehra's film begins to grate quite early on.

M.S. Dhoni
Rajput steps forward and tonks it out of the park, but it would matter much more if this wasn't an exhibition match on a conveniently doctored pitch.

Wah Taj
Exaggerated faces, clueless extras and cartoonish sound effects set the stage for something that resembles a sloppy sitcom more than an actual feature film.

Raaz Reboot
...has the same old stuff that we have seen a zillions times. So unless you love watching horror films that make you laugh, stay away from this one!

Pink
This is a solid, terse film that makes its points in mainstream fashion with an appropriate lack of subtlety. Pink is a barnstormer -- and it doesn't pull its punches.

Freaky Ali
It’s entirely on the writers and actors to make the proceedings seem crucial or comic. What shows up on screen is plain lazy on their part and it's painfully dull to watch.

Island City
...is quite unlike any recent Hindi film. The complex narratives, laced with humour and satire, keep us enthralled while also presenting the deeper issues of life.
