Sabki Bajegi Band
...it masquerades as a forward-thinking film, but under the layers, is worse than the most low-brow film.

Gabbar Is Back
This is a low-brow, gimmicky film that capitalizes on one of Hindi film's most iconic villains, and more unforgivably, on the aam junta's frustrations with the system.

Jai Ho! Democracy
Sadly the filmmaker is not on firm ground here, giving us a film telling us what we already know, with a story we've seen too many times already.

Kaagaz Ke Fools

Margarita With A Straw
How often in Bollywood do you see a differently-abled bisexual heroine, one who gets to have her own share of flaws, her romantic adventures, and her journey towards self-actualization?

Mr. X
...the central flaw with the film is Mr. X himself who never piques our interest and is as hollow inside as he is on the outside.

Court
This is a delicious slice-of-life film that puts forth various issues, and celebrates the unintended and often dark humour that we see all around us.

Ek Paheli Leela
...a half-entertaining story that unfolds between songs, some past life mumbo-jumbo, sprinkles of Rajasthan exotica, and a good-looking cast that makes it somewhat bearable.

Dozakh
This is a film that could have been much more, and yet is fulfilling despite the minuses. Recommended!

Hunterrr
Ladies, if you like being called 'Party Pack' and 'Family Pack' and have the same IQ as the female characters of this film, you too might dissolve into giggles and enjoy the cheeky humiliation. For those men who think being creepy is cute, this is your fairytale.

NH10
...unrepentantly dark, gritty and gruesome. And you still watch with rapt attention, as the story that is unfolding is so deliciously intense and the performance by the leading lady so earnest and untethered.

Badmashiyaan
The cast is sprightly and earnest, but let down by a dodgy script and inadequate execution.

Ab Tak Chhappan 2
Patekar's strong performance is the film's highlight. He's masterful, but let down by a simplistic, cliched take on the story.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha
Director Sharat Kataria weaves together a film that has enough heart, humour and romance to warrant a second-time watch.

Badlapur
The film is mainly recommended for Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s class act as the impudent criminal. Other than that, the film has some solid, immersing moments and an equal number that are misogynistic and repulsive.

Despite these flaws, the film is still enjoyable in sporadic bursts for the immersing story, an unconventional lead cast, and the visual flair.

Shamitabh
This is one of the few films we experience and not just watch. We revel in and relish the unusual story, the characters, their equations, and soak in the performances and aesthetics.

Rahasya
...it's another product from a film-making factory that employs its set formulas in every film.

Hawaizaada
...barring the film's story and a few immersing scenes, all you have is characters you don't emotionally invest in, bizarre dialogue, and a lifeless romance. That's unfortunate indeed, as this story was rich with possibilities.

Dolly Ki Doli
Debut director Abhishek Dogra gives us a film that's an above-average entertainer, with an interesting story and a solid ensemble cast.

Baby
The film is full of improbable developments, convenient cinematic license and absurd portions. The only redeeming features are the ensemble cast, a few engaging action portions and a fast-paced second half.

Crazy Cukkad Family
With the premise it had, the film certainly could have been far funnier and crazier.

Alone
This is a below-par film - an unabashed copy, relying on a few lame thrills and the erotica to sail through.

'I’ really want to know how a film with such an interesting premise ended up as such a watered-down version.

Tevar
The film is a remake of a Telugu hit Okkadu (2003). It does seem that South Indian cinema has moved on and is exploring some wildly interesting stories, while Bollywood is perplexingly keen on retracting steps. This has to stop.

It's amazing that the makers thought of bringing us such an entertaining and thought- provoking film through the eyes of this unique character.

Main Aur Mr. Riight

Badlapur Boys
Worth a watch if you don’t mind the insinuated ‘80s style melodrama and the simplistic storytelling.
