Krrish 3
It’s not original. It’s not subtle. What Krrish 3 is is astonishingly eager to entertain with its stock of doodads that should amuse if not endear.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha
...a truly simple story. So simple, in fact, that Dum Laga Ke Haisha never gives you a single moment of unpredictability. It’s a two-hour film, and yet drags its feet enough to feel long and stretched. There are superb actors performing a sweet script, but after a while all you have is flavour.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
Even in its unmistakably masala tone, it firmly believes the desire for peace is universal and recommends being a hero. Or just human.

Charlie Kay Chakkar Mein

Haraamkhor
...may not appeal to the regular Bollywood audience but if you’re a Nawazuddin Siddiqui fan and love watching performance-oriented films, this shouldn’t be missed at all.

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

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.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania

The Tashkent Files
...is not meant for those looking for escapist fare; however, those looking for content-driven, hard-hitting films will enjoy the movie.

Bhoot – Part One
The first half keeps you on the edge of your seat. Unfortunately, the second half comes crashing down.

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.

Ek Tha Tiger
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.

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.

Dil Dhadakne Do

Dil Dhadakne Do
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.

Ever so astir, Ali’s storytelling wears wings as do his creations known to take off impulsively or wander about to unforeseen destinations in a bid to discover, seek, escape or just because.

Tanhaji
...it's Imran and Sonam's collective persona and their free-flowing chemistry that makes all the difference. Although the pair deserve better than an amateurishly written romance to scoop out their terrific potential as a combination.
