Always Kabhi Kabhi
The first half is dull as can be, merely loud, and while the emotionally-laden second half begins to mildly resemble something sweet, it explodes into a flashy climax that ruins everything.

Alone
What does work for Allah Ke Banday, though, is an overall earnestness to the proceedings -- the film is pretty watchable for the first hour and then gradually loses steam -- and the performances.

All Is Well
...spends two hours desperately tickling the audience but the overall impact is one of torture.

Aligarh
...the portrayal Aligarh offers is refreshing and respectful. But it’s much too multifaceted, at times for its own good, to be acknowledged for just that.

Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aaata Hai?
...labours hard to be metaphoric and of significance.

Aladin
What Ghosh dishes out in its place is some half-hearted hocus-pocus, a clumsy mix of old world lore with contemporary indifference, sloppy trips to the flashback and awkward bursts of forced sentimentality.

Aksar 2
...is a film that gets you primed in the first half but is a sad squib in the second.

Akira
Sonakshi moves, feels and looks the part that’s all but empty heft in a script so extraordinarily dated and bereft of punch.

AK vs AK
Somewhere in trying to find its tone between mockumentary, metaphorical and cinema verite, what emerges is incredulous yet oddly engaging.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
Honestly, it's just good to watch a film with memorable comedy again. Heaven knows its been a while.

Ajab Gazabb Love
...overwhelming mediocrity -- of characters indulging in over-exaggerated buffoonery, foolhardiness and distasteful humour.

Aiyyaa
There is no way to find fault with Rani but she is shockingly let down by the storyline.

Aiyaary
It's a bloated, prolonged mess of misplaced purpose that digresses from military misdeeds to animal cruelty.

Aiyaary
Beautifully shot and packaged with a fabulous soundtrack and superlative ensemble cast, Aisha, quite often, gets caught up in a self-created tangle of brand-led vanity to ever let one get acquainted to its leading lady.

Aisa Yeh Jahaan
Despite strong performances, Aisa Yeh Jahaan fails to engage due to its shaky storyline and scattered plot.

Airlift
...is compelling, thanks largely to a sterling performance from Akshay Kumar -- who is both suitably weary and suitably level-headed for the part -- enough to anchor the proceedings.

Agent Vinod
...as a game it'd be sensational, and tremendous fun. As a film, on the other hand, Agent Vinod must be termed a disappointment, a slick and well-produced throwback to the spy thriller that feels both overlong and under-conceived.

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.

Action Jackson
It is an uneven, tacky, cheesy actioner, a film that has much going catastrophically wrong but it is also -- surprise, surprise -- at times incredibly zany and, much more importantly, a film that strikes back against the unending misogyny routinely perpetrated by our heroes in these larger-than-life movies.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Because of its poorly paced beginning, ABCD 2 feels a bit of stretch at 154 minutes.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance
The dance numbers are brilliantly executed and the thrill quotient is highly enhanced as you watch the movie in three dimensions.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2

The only reason MAY BE you can watch this film, is for this world tour and Alex Fisher's cinematography.

Aazaan
...works like many of Kukunoor's successful films -- Hyderabad Blues, Iqbal and Dor -- unique stories that start with good intentions, but eventually the treatments amount to nothing spectacular.

Aazaan
I wish people would see Aarakshan and instead object to Jha's vision, the execution of his muddled script, which half way through forgets its purpose, and varying degrees of unimpressive performances.
