Khiladi 786
...here was great potential here - the successful Khiladi franchise, the A-list cast, good music and so on. But debut director Ashish R Mohan makes a film that's a diluted, washed-down version of several such films.

Khiladi 786
...fails to grasp your attention or convince you to invest our emotions. Which is a shame considering the potential of this story that's unique in so many ways and encapsulates a range of developments.

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

Kaun Kitney Paani Mein
There is a problem with the basic premise itself, and the clever, satirical bits are lost in translation.

Karle Pyaar Karle
Debut director Rajesh Pandey makes a film that would have been outdated even ten years ago.

Kapoor & Sons
The nuances in the story are reflected brilliantly in all aspects of the film from the performances to the technical aspects like production design, music, editing and photography.

Kapoor & Sons
This writer isn't entirely convinced by what the film is trying to say, but recommends it for intermittent snatches of good storytelling, bravura performances and great music.

Kahaani
Watch Kahaani to relish a suspense thriller with a fascinating story and a masterful performance by Vidya Balan.

...the film is not a total let-down. It has an interesting protagonist, an arresting story (sadly told in a simplistic fashion), and some effective moments. The gripe is this could have been a far, far better film. Too bad, really.

In the end, you are left with the thought that the film could have been so much more.

Joker
What could have been a delightful, fantastical fable turns out to be a damp squib full of flat jokes.

Jodi Breakers
The story is told with the zest it deserves and is enhanced by the sparkling dialogue. Sadly, the director has a messed-up second half on his hands. Still, worth your while for the unusual story, interesting coupling, and the irreverent humour.

Jo Hum Chahein
Writer-director Pawan Gill makes a film that's two decades too late. With a soppy script and mediocre acting, this one's not worth your time.

...a disappointing effort. This mainstream Hollywood fare with Indian tadka, served cold, is hardly appetizing.

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story

Jannat 2
A tired story with cliched characters propped-up by an OD on machismo, some dialogue-baazi, and a gorgeous heroine does not a film make.

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.

Jai Ho
The film appears to be a massive PR fillip for Salman—working on his image of a do-gooder with a volatile temper. The film and his image feed off each other. There's also some token nationalism forced in for good measure. You'll get a lot of Salman Khan here, but an entertaining movie, you will not.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan
You may chaff at the exaggerated sentiments, but you sit through the film, completely involved in the story. Despite the flaws, the film is recommended for Yash Chopra’s magic.

...the tale is indeed a remarkable one. If only there were performances to back these inspiring, spirited characters, and a film that worked together as a whole, instead of delightful separates.
