Fukrey
...may not be laugh-out-loud funny as Delhi Belly, but the charming subtleties, detail to character and credibility of milieu makes it one hell of a ride.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami
If you are willing to suspend disbelief for the outrageous second half after a realistic first, you might just dig this heart warming ode to the common man.

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.

Shootout At Wadala

Jabariya Jodi
The redemption then for Jabariya Jodi is fleeting and in spurts. Thanks to a cracking supporting cast, the film isn’t entirely an oppressive watch.
