Udta Punjab
...ultimately for me Udta Punjab is not about the story, the four main characters, their acting or the music even. It’s about relentless exposure to a gut-wrenching reality for 148 minutes that I am still trying to process.

Tumhari Sulu
The story of a homemaker turned night time RJ is full of interesting possibilities but gets stuck in the familiar conflict zone between career and family.

Tumbbad
As the film progresses the explanatory begins to replace the enigmatic while you long for the shadowy, invisible demons of the mind lurking in the moody frames at the start of the film.

Tum Bin 2
From the beginning to the sudden twist towards the end and then on to a protracted climax, the film has a "seen that many a times" feel.

Tubelight
Unfortunately piety and righteousness are written way too large on Tubelight. We need some inventiveness and chutzpah even when we take the bull by its horns. Afterall, what’s cinematic subversion without any sparkle?

Trapped
With him the film takes the audience to the edge of the seat and also makes it face its own weaknesses and resourcefulness in crises.

Traffic
...wears thin, feels rushed. There is neither much of an emotional tug nor an edge-of-the-seat urgency that the film promised to deliver.

Toilet
If there were any doubts that Akshay Kumar is the poster boy of this regime they can be laid to rest with Toilet: Ek Prem Katha.

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.

Tiger Zinda Hai
I think I just found my guilty pleasure film of 2017; right at the end of the year.

Thugs Of Hindostan
Tame, dull and listless, the film lacks any distinct personality and attitude of its own.

The Zoya Factor
Despite the film being a rickety ride and Dulquer Salmaan not being utilised to his best potential, the Malayalam star still ends up playing the most rounded role of the lot.

The Xpose
Entertaining pulp fiction that turns spoof-ish, thanks to the convenient twists.

The Sky Is Pink
It’s such a pity that the film has a powerful true story as its source material, yet its sole obsession is to make you either laugh or cry. The Sky Is Pink is perhaps better off titled, ‘Sometimes Happy Sometimes Sad’.

The Shaukeens
While the main plot is a bit of a downer, the unexpected laughs from Akshay Kumar more than make it worth your time.

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

The Legend of Michael Mishra
Clearly there’s a lot that slips between the ambition and intent and the absolutely amateurish execution of it on screen.

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.

The Ghazi Attack
It’s a straightforward, chronological, well-acted and intermittently engaging watch...

The Fakir Of Venice
Released a decade after it was made The Fakir of Venice, disappoints with the lack of alchemy between the lead actors.

The Blueberry Hunt
This could have been a cracker of a film to take the debate forward. But it prefers to remain hazy and tepid in a pointless world of its own.

The Attacks Of 26/11
...is probably the most definitive modern Ram Gopal Varma film. It’s the epitome of inconsistency.Of crassness. Of insensitivity. Of horror. Of atheism. Of audacity. Of voyeurism.

Thappad
...writers Anubhav Sinha and Mrunmayee Lagoo Waikul do well in turning a solitary slap into larger exploration of male entitlement. They weave a dexterous but concise and economical narrative that, even while focusing on one woman’s life, turns it into the story about every woman. And every man.

Thackeray
The film is not just a justification but a no holds barred celebration of the ruthlessness.

Tezz
Set out to make a thriller, Priyadarshan delivers an unintentional comedy which is neither sharp nor sensible.

Tevar
...there are loopholes and creative licence is exploited but it is good fun on the run till it enters its final lap. After experimenting with the template, Amit suddenly runs out of ideas and decides to sum it up in conventional fashion.

Teri Meri Kahaani
Long, laboured and pointless, Kohli fails to place his gorgeous actors in a credible story.
