The Lunchbox
...is heartwarming, introspective, romantic, bittersweet and feel good, all at once.

Dangal
Even as the film touches a chord, it makes one compare and contrast it with other Indian sports films, and not glowingly at that.

Talvar
Its intentions might be blunt but as a piece of cinema Talvar is a sharp procedural.

Finding Fanny
It shows us the shapes unrequited love can take. It is this twitchy feeling that makes this screwball comedy special.

Gully Boy
...it’s a classic, empathetic underdog story with a crowd pleasing, feel good finale about turning your imperfect reality into a long-cherished and impossible fantasy.

Badlapur
An edge-of-the-seat pulpy entertainer that manages to turn the revenge formula on its head.

Pataakha
...has everything that makes it a perfect fit in Vishal Bhardwaj’s oeuvre: literary adaptation, feisty women, rustic hinterland, unapologetic use of dialect and free-flowing gaalis. Yet, the film doesn’t feel contrived or formulaic.

Jawaani Jaaneman

Anaarkali Of Aarah
A unique, well observed, raunchy musical that reiterates that no means no.

Sui Dhaaga
Sharat Katariya’s brushstrokes in 'Sui Dhaaga' may have got much more broad than in his previous outing but you still end up caring for his characters

Dum Laga Ke Haisha
A welcome reminder of simple joys and sorrows of life, watch it with somebody you love.

Dishoom
The many chinks in Dishoom’s armour notwithstanding, on this prolonged, dismal monsoon day the film’s infectious cheer seems just what the weather ordered. Whether it lasts beyond the season will be another story.

Student Of The Year
...if you are game to accept St. Teresa as a new version of St. Xavier’s that Karan created 14 years ago, it is not a bad ride.

Fan
...SRK couldn’t have found a better vehicle than Fan, both as an actor and as a celebration of the highs and the lows of his own stardom.

Saand Ki Aankh
...the bad prosthetics do irk and irritate at the start, but slowly you begin to overlook the cakey make-up on the faces of Pednekar and Pannu and begin warming up to the place, its people, stories, struggles and, most of all, a matter-of-fact rustic sense of humour.

Love Wrinkle-free
...an edible experience for those who are bored of the routine menu at the box office!

Satyagraha
Despite the terribly staged chaos in the climax, Satyagraha is a film to watch not because it is relevant but also because it is a responsible review. Of passion. Of paths we choose. And the politics around.

Neerja
...the larger emotional swell and sentiment of the film makes one overlook things.

Budhia Singh
...manages to break away from a whole lot of principle arcs and formulae even while remaining squarely within the conventions of a typical Indian sports film.

Raees
Quite like Big B’s Vijay, Raees is anti-establishment, an outlaw and also a Robin Hood figure...

Soorma
After all, sports films meant to be electric and rousing. However, it’s this gentle ordinariness and Shaad Ali’s restrained approach that make Soorma appealing.

Miss Lovely
Strictly for those who love to experiment with their cinematic diet with an open mind.

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.

Poorna
Despite the low budget Poorna does a fair, if not extraordinary, job of bringing mountaineering on to the big screen.

Hamid
..given the recent turn of events it’s the very simplicity, humaneness and a sense of poise that resonates, connects and is profoundly moving.
