Kerry on Kutton
For all its merits, it ultimately feels like an empty film that depends more on the quirks of the characters than the characters themselves.

Kedarnath
A protracted climax and worn-out clichés come in the way of what could have been an interesting cinematic exploration of a social fabric in turmoil.

Katiyabaaz
The directors have shown patience with the subjects. They seem to have forgotten the presence of camera around them and the result is electric.

Karwaan
Even as the film makes the audience laugh uproariously it keeps them grounded in its own whimsical way with some sobering, everyday wisdom and bitter-sweet insights into loss, longing and life.

Kapoor & Sons
There is something very finely calibrated and nicely measured about the entire package that is Kapoor & Sons.

You could say that I am being overly righteous and needlessly cautious here but the climax left me discomfited and disturbed.

Kajarya
There are many stories that lie hidden in the depressing newspaper headlines. The art is in giving them a compelling, emotional shape on screen. Madhureeta Anand succeeds but marginally so in Kajarya.

Kadvi Hawa
...is essentially a short story on screen with a proverbial twist in the tale. Panda, however, plays it too slow for its own good — long sequences, seemingly static scenes. It gets protracted and plodding.

Kabir Singh
Entitled, toxic hero and a heroine without any agency whatsoever. What’s new?

Kaanchi
The best movie Subhash Ghai has made in 15 years is Iqbal. Handing Nagesh Kukunoor the cheque as producer is probably the only thing he has got right since directing Taal in 1999.

Kaalakaandi
Director Akshat Verma neither gives the film any freshness and novelty, nor any depth and deliberation. Even the supposed black humour isn’t pert enough to tickle consistently.

Kaabil
... in the second half, the film becomes a usual revenge saga, marginally more engaging than deathly dull, dreary and deadening first half.

Junglee
There is a sweet stray dog and magnificent tuskers and an unintended nostalgia unleashed for Haathi Mere Saathi. I came out raving about Kulkarni's fitness and agility and Jammwal’s voice and jawline. But that wasn’t quite the point of the film, was it?

Judwaa 2
Dhawan updates the original with some new, contemporary, international scenery but fails to update the attitude for today’s times.

Jolly LLB 2
What Jolly LLB 2 essentially shows is how the marriage of opposites—the mainstream dramatic tropes and a realistic tapestry—can be the formula to go for, for Bollywood.

Joker
As noble as the idea may have been, it required a filmmaker with more sensitivity and finesse.

Logic, pace and tautness are the main ingredients of a thriller and Solomon’s work disappoints on all the three counts.

One doesn't know about the relationships it talks about, the film is dysfunctional for sure.

Jism - 2
This is the kind of film many will go to watch no matter how bad we say it is simply because this is the closest they get to see an adult star take her clothes off on the big screen in India.

Jhootha Kahin Ka
...Kang can’t stop the humour turning loud and crass with double entendre slipping in, specially when it comes to women. It’s not just the sexist jokes, here the women are rendered deliberately vapid and inconsequential...

Jayanta Bhai Ki Luv Story
...if you ignore that fake filmy Tapori-speak, Jayantabhai Ki Love Story does have a few moments that make sure it isn’t entirely unwatchable.

Jawaani Jaaneman
...is fun but complaisant, reinforces the age old cliches associated with singledom.
