Chalk N Duster
Nothing irritates more than sanctimony and this film is so packed with piety that it looks set to get tax exemption and mandatory school screenings to boot.

Wazir
Despite starting off promisingly with slick production values and good performances to boot Wazir unravels badly, especially in the second half as it heads towards the climax.

...is a lot more muted and quiet in its rage. But the thread of protest runs through it nonetheless...

Dilwale
The deliberate attempt to repackage and sell the Kajol-SRK romance of yore backfires, seeming like a pale shadow of the magic there once was.

Bajirao Mastani
Sanjay Leela Bhansali returns with another visual spectacle that wilfully takes liberties with the past that it depicts. But it does manage to engage even as it exhausts.

Sorry Daddy
There’s sheer randomness to the narrative, in fact the film is nothing more than a series of arbitrary scenes strung together.

Wish Sooraj reflected a little more on the darkness beneath the light but overall it is a family get together that you don’t mind attending in festive mood.

Titli
Through the film you can feel the claustrophobia of the world that Titli is set in and it's a feeling that lingers on, long after you have left the theatre.

Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon
...comedy is a relatively new territory for Abbas Mustan, the masters of thrillers. They take time but once they connect the effect is suitably rib tickling.
