Policegiri
Plots with threadbare logic rely too much on larger-than-life heroics to draw its target audience in. But none of Dutt’s swagger is blustering enough to put up with a film as deafening, dowdy and drudging as Policegiri.

PM Narendra Modi
There are a lot of holes to pick if you want to. But, if you’re a Modi fan, you obviously think the other way and will enjoy the movie.

PK
...it is a rollicking mainstream entertainer with ambition to evoke some introspection, one with compelling moments and some genuine surprises.

Pizza
If you're a fan of the genre and have lamented the sorry state Hindi horror films have been in, give this one a chance.

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.

Phullu
...unwisely presumes that promoting a humanitarian angle absolves it of mediocrity. For all its do-gooder fixation, Phullu neither has the passion to succeed as a film nor the seriousness of a valuable message.

Phoonk 2
I suppose we get the entertainment we deserve but one can't help feeling that the man (Varma) who helped rejuvenate the horror genre in India might also be instrumental in hastening its demise.

Phobia
...is easily one of the best psychological thrillers to have come out of Bollywood.

Phillauri
Lal’s insistence to maintain room temperature humour and downplay a frothy premise robs Phillauri of fizz in its comedy.

Phhir
Though the suspense is predictable, the audience is kept entertained throughout.

Phata Poster Nikhla Hero
Occasionally, I half-smiled at the laboured silliness put forth by this clean but clichéd farce. Only the darn poster is, ultimately, too phata, purana for anything to come out of it except disillusionment.

Phata Poster Nikhla Hero
...sharply-penned, rib-tickling adventure. It's insane. And it's awesome.

Phamous
One feels for the classy cast -- all of them -- for being part of a film that has neither substance nor sense nor a story line.

Phamous
...well-researched, brilliantly-written and effectively documented creation that hasn't negotiated its wry vision for big screen. I'd go to the extent of saying it's the best Hindi film I've seen this year.

Patiala House
...a film that's surprisingly alright in spite of the obviousness of its generic plot and sloppy screenplay...

Pati Patni Aur Woh
Alternating between a farce and melodrama, thankfully none of it coming from the women, Pati Patni Aur Woh can't decide whether it wants to be the climax of a Priyadarshan comedy or give the cad a dose of his own medicine brand of cheeky payback.

Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi
Kapur and Rawal complement each other well and we would like to see them come together more often. They are the only reason to make PKPS a strictly one-time watch.

Pataakha
Fun, colourful, comical are adjectives you rarely use for a Vishal film, but that's exactly what Pataakha is.

Parmanu
...can scream 'desh' all it wants and turn up the volume as loud as it likes to make a big deal. But it's ultimately a cursory glance at a tough tactical choice and tame recreation of a controversial reality whose face is a stiff star.

Pari
The best horror movies are ones that make you laugh as you scream -- laughing presumably at your own screaming -- but Pari doesn't operate on that level.

Pappu Can't Dance Saala
...an average film with some decent performances but it is an honest effort as compared to the recent flood of no-brainers

Pankh
..is really not a film for the feeble. The director sets out to shock, scandalise, repulse and disgust you. If you are prepared for this then take a chance.

Panipat
...has all the meat for a political drama meets war movie. But in Gowariker's failure to process its complexity, the material never rises beyond a mediocre hurray to the Maratha manoos.

Panga
What it lacks in depth or surprise, Panga's slice of life makes up for in its gentle depiction of everyday struggles and pleasantries, lending it a consistently warm fuzzy feeling.
