Nanu Ki Jaanu
When not playing its hammy sentimentality on a loop in a series of daddy-daughter flashbacks or going creepy full throttle, Nanu Ki Jaanu coughs up some unintentional laughs in moments of genuine bizarreness.

Nail Polish
The biggest triumph of this court piece, written and directed by 'Bugs' Bhargav Krishna, is its subtlety. The distractions have been kept so low that it enhances the quality of the content.

Naam Shabana
Yet it is an aspirational film. Because the Naam Shabana India, though pretty close to what we have today, has still elements of the India we want to be.

My Name is Khan
What primarily doesn't work for me here is the man behind Khan. SRK delivers an inconsistent, half-convincing performance, which is a tricky mix of laboured, strained and spontaneous.

My Name is Khan
Karan Johar's finally made his first grown-up film, and made it well. It could have been the stuff of much more, but let us leave that for another day. This is a film that will inspire, make aware, make happy.

Murder 3
Those looking for more than (badly-acted) thrills, Murder isn’t likely to be your choice of franchise anyway.

Munna Michael
...Sabbir Khan's teetering timing, glaring ineptitude for farce and two stiff leads make it a slog to sit through.

Mumbai Mirror
This is a terrible mishap of a film that doesn't hold a mirror to society, or the city, but rather stares at it with bloodshot eyes and a dagger in hand.

Mulk
I wish racial and gender issues were explored more humanistically in our cinema so that aspects such as buried prejudices, history, and culture would bubble up through the smallest of back-and-forth.

Mukti Bhawan
... discards volubility for quieter storytelling or oversaturating its protagonists in quirk. Instead, Bhutiani juggles emotion and practicality to skilfully extract real, relatable humour out of ordinary circumstances.

Mukkabaaz
My worry is that many who are not fond of Kashyap's usual complex sensibility would like this latest move: They'll applaud the fact that he's going for the tear glands with brass knuckles on.
The tragedy of Mukkabaaz is not that it aims low; the tragedy is that it aims low and hits.

Mubarakan
The Bazmee-Chahal-Janjua-Chawla quartet prove very convincingly that comedies need not always be about slapstick; that there is more to comedy films than vulgar gestures and crass jokes. That clean dialogues, written sensibly, entertain and charm the movie-goers.

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

MSG
...this is a poorly assembled, terrifically tacky and tremendously ill-conceived showcase for a self-styled spiritual leader -- self-styled because no costume designer in the world could match up to this man.

Mr. X
At a time when even television is doling out superheroes worth binging on, taking Bhatt’s boring, fluky, one-trick Mr X seriously is out of question.

Mr Joe B. Carvalho
Joe B Carvalho is that annoying friend who won't stop forcing those unbearable PJs on you as you try to laugh politely while one eye seeks an emergency exit.

Motichoor Chaknachoor
If Nawaz hits all the right notes in his portraying his character's timid, modest traits, Athiya Shetty springs a surprise in how she completely surrenders to Anita's perverse superficiality. Wish one could say the same about the film's confused idealism and slipshod climax.

Had director Kumar given his characters more time and writer Varma fleshed them out Monsoon Shootout would have been a wonderful cinematic experience.

Mom
The film's predictability is not as much an issue as its messy climax that loses much of its drive and darkness to accommodate wishy-washy masala tropes, an ill-timed Rahman ditty and reckless ideas of fair play. What it never loses sight of is its leading lady's invincibility and for that alone, Mom's the word.

Historical accuracy be darned, Gowariker has served up a severely amateurish production with a weak script and an abundance of cliche.

Mohalla Assi
Philosophy, politics and practicality cross paths in Mohalla Assi's ambitious premise. Except it is directed in such an unwieldy fashion that instead of rich satire, what emerges is a lumbering flab of incoherence and opinion glut.

Wish director Nagesh Kukunoor had someone to tell him that slow and steady doesn't win races any more. You have to be fast and racy.
