Badrinath Ki Dulhania
What makes it work, really, is the intent and the two principal actors.

Badla
...wears the air of a cold, civil, old-fashioned whodunit, which treats its premise like an insidious game and characters with undisguised suspicion.

Aisha
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.

Dolly Ki Doli
...the ambiguous, unapologetic tone favours the overall whimsy narrative and its aversion to melodrama.

Thackeray
Even the hagiographic ones would be of two kinds: One that show an augmented picture of the leader, or as they say, an 'image makeover exercise'. And the other that revealed a truer picture of him and still be proud of it. Thackeray falls in the latter category.

Article 15
There's so much more an Anubhav Sinha film can tell us about the Indian Character -- if only, he didn't wish to endear himself so completely with the urban audience.

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.

Land Gold Women
The director hopes to show you something you didn't realize was so commonplace even today. And for that reason alone, give this film a chance.

Khoobsurat
Some movies are like candy. Wrapped in bright plastic and frequently too sweet for your own good, they act as sunny, unsurprising treats that lead to sticky, syrupy smiles.

Dil Dhadakne Do
Despite its flaws, I find myself looking back at Dil Dhadakne Do and smiling.

Kedarnath
The heft and conviction of a sparkling Sara and subdued Sushant as well as its solid supporting cast make Kedarnath's stereotypes and contrivances a whole lot agreeable.

Delhi Belly
A nice, tight, pacy little plot which has lots of satisfying little set-ups and pay-offs, and where everything comes together very well indeed.

Ek Tha Tiger
It could have been snappier, and the girl could have been much better, but the film should be applauded for giving us a non-sleepwalking Salman, and enough genuine bang for our buck.

Chhota Bheem And The Curse Of Damyaan
If the cheering laughs of Kangna and other kids in the theatre are any indication, your little one is going to lap it up.

Singham Returns
...offers quite a bit to whistle about with its steady supply of straightforward action and a hot-headed hero who delivers a punch with a fist and a line.

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.

Bioscopewala
...is a sweet film to watch if you want to bring back memories of your innocent, carefree, childhood through the lens of the bioscopewala.

Zero
Swapping its marvellous idiosyncrasies for misplaced ideals, two exhilarating hours are followed by forty indulgent minutes. The upshot is a well-aimed mess that never quite lands.
