Kaagaz
...could have been the go-to movie for all those inspiration-seeking individuals but ends up being a masterclass on one man’s acting prowess. Not that we are complaining, but the film had the potential to blow our minds. Chose not to, instead!

Badmaash Company
...may not be as buoyant as Bunty aur Babli, the original badmash couple in recent cinema, but it does make for some merry viewing.

Anjaana Anjaani
The director chooses to use the format of a road movie to weave his romantic story. Only, the road seems to be a bit long and too straight. There aren't too many twists and turns in this cross-country cruise; and the ones that are there, are quite-quite predictable.

Shaapit
The film works not so much due to its story. Rather, it's the way Vikram Bhatt tells his story -- with a certain polish and pizzazz -- that draws you in.

Pihu
This unusual thriller has all the elements you'd expect from a film that can attain cult status. In all fairness, the story does throw up a few nail-biting moments, too. But the inconsistent writing and direction by Vinod Kapri robs the movie of its desired impact.

Manto
Manto is an authentic but jaded observation of a man who defied rules, challenged the status quo and changed the way one looked at life. Watch it for the director's flawless interweaving of Manto's poignant writing into her script and watch it for the words — spoken and unspoken.

Jo Dooba So Paar
This one's not routine cinema, nor does it have mass appeal. But the niche audience will enjoy the integrity of tone and character.
