Kalank
...is stuck in a bizarre time warp of real world and surreal treatment. What ensues is not particularly poignant, but breathtaking to behold.

Kai Po Che!
I wouldn’t call Kai Po Che an exact retelling of Chetan Bhagat [ Images ]’s The 3 Mistakes of My Life. Kapoor clearly recognises the strengths (and limitations) of this story as a motion picture and labours to compound an emotionality worth rooting for even if it means significant departure from the source. It’s a beautiful risk. And it totally works.

Kadvi Hawa
...don't let anybody tell you that Kadvi Hawa is a manifesto for the fight against climate change or that it's an austere, unforgiving, movie. This is an intensely felt, beautifully expressed, sustained piece of cinema.

Kabir Singh
From treating women like toys, trampling all over their feelings and then acting like a wounded martyr and misunderstood genius wronged by the world, Kabir Singh rounds up every foolish male's ultimate fantasy. Lack of rules can be refreshing, but to watch a sicko getting away after ticking every wrong in the book just rankles.

Kaanchi
From effortlessly epic to unintentionally campy, Ghai’s school of entertainment has taken quite a beating.

...makes you feel sad about the condition of character actors in the movies, but it won't hold you for too long.

Kaabil
...doesn't pull off anything extraordinary with its visually challenged contrivance except whip up as many puns possible. From blind date to blind justice, it's all there.

Junooniyat
The first half of the film is still tolerable, courtesy the exotic locations but the second half is just too much to handle with all the drama and sappy sequences.

Junglee
Director Chuck Russell leaves a lot of loose ends in the film, making this movie a gimmicky affair.

Julie 2
At no point does Julie 2 rise above being a B-grade flick whose mentality is stuck in the 1990s.

Judwaa 2
Judwaa 2’s balloon of recycled gas soon goes phus and what’s left is tedious buffoonery of the brainless, for the brainless and by the brainless.

Judgemental Hai Kya
...is an expedition into the unhinged, unstable, unreliable mind of a woman single-handedly refusing to be dictated by patriarchy. It's also a provocative commentary on society's tendency to label individuals refusing to subscribe to its established norms and decorum.

Jolly LLB 2
The story is more or less the same except around sharper wit seasoned in authentic local flavours that scorns at the intense rot eating up a noble profession without whitewashing the rascality of its titular character.

Jolly L.L.B.
Clearly, Kapoor can bring the humour (though someone else should write dialogue.) But alas, preachiness and the need to flaunt the film’s sincerity and heart, gets in the way of a good time.

Joker
There isn't a single line in Shirish Kunder's Joker that actually works, leaving us with a film that, while commendably brisk in a 100-minute package, refuses to get going at all.

Jism - 2
It's like Sunny Leone's assets are the script, screenplay and sole purpose of Jism 2 and everyone outside that -- Hooda, Singh, Zakaria or the audience -- is obliged to wag their tongues with thrill. Well, duh, for thinking otherwise.

Jazbaa
It is a mercifully brief movie, just about two hours long, and goes by briskly enough, but that’s about it in terms of the good part.

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story
The problem with JKLS is that it ties not only the audience but also the actors of the film in a tight knot of which neither the plot nor performances, except Oberoi's, help to break out of.

More in the moment than in your face, the humour has a refreshingly offhand quality to it.

Jannat 2
A lot would have been forgiven -- as it often is with these producers -- if the film had either a meatier plot or a more gripping narrative, but this one's just tiresome as the obvious story drags on.
