Staying Alive
If serious human drama interests you, this is your pick. Otherwise, stay away.

David
Yes, the Devil's in the detail. But maybe David needed more 'D' of 'Depth' in the story to make this more 'Delightful'.

Happy New Year
The story is simple, perched on a lavish canvas - glitzy, glamorous, gorgeous bodies and with self-deprecating humour which stands out and entertains in parts.

Dolly Ki Doli
...is simple and refreshing. It's filled with some laughable moments, hilarious performances and quirky characters.

All Is Well
Technical shabbiness is the film's weakest link. There are plot glitches and dated touches.

Naam Shabana
Sorry, but the running time is the film’s first inherent flaw. Frankly, Shabana shone in Baby because she was in a cameo. Someone missed the point, guys.

Bhoomi
...every cloud has a silver living; Bhoomi has Sanjay Dutt. Returning to the marquee after his incarceration, the actor wears the lines of his face with confidence.

Nakkash
...this drama on social issues ticks all the boxes of a progressive and offbeat movie, and despite its inconsiderable flaws, one should give this ‘art film’ a try!

Yamla Pagla Deewana
The film is meant to showcase the Deol charisma. And that it manages to do, despite a clumsy first-half and a stodgy script.

Rowdy Rathore
Fans will love Akshay's mooch-twirling masala-act but be ready for hardcore action too - some pretty gruesome.

Khiladi 786
For those looking for some logic-less laughtime, groovy tunes topped with some todh-podh - this one could bring some action to your weekend.

Ship Of Theseus
...watch this if you are ready for some soul-searching that ends with an intellectual orgasm.

Dilwale
Low on content — plot lines borrowed, incohesive screenplay and lowbrow dialogues — the film leans heavily on Shah Rukh's mega-stardom, Varun's effervescence, breathtaking locales, orchestrated car chases and over-the-top situations, which have you chuckling.

Meri Pyaari Bindu
...will appeal to the romantic in you, but watching the movie will be a battle between the brain and the heart. Your brain and the movie’s heart, that is.

Chance Pe Dance
A better scripted, less cliched second half would have surely given the film a better chance to dazzle and shake.

Paathshaala
...the emotional quotient and the topicality of the film keep the interest running. Go for some serious viewing.

Film is high on drama but also has just the right amount of comedy and suspense that keeps you hooked.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
...this movie could have been so much more. Like champagne gone flat, the film's left lying about for too late, its plot meandering everywhere, the director so determined to have fun that often, the viewer doesn't.

Dear Dad
...deserves a watch simply for the profound point it makes about accepting people for who they are and loving them unconditionally.

Sameer
...is a proper edge-of-the-seat thriller, albeit with its flaws, but keeps you hooked till the very end with a very strong pay-off.

Dabangg 3
...shows Salman in his element – throwing deadly blows at the villains amidst all the smoke, dust and fire, while you can hear chants of Hudd Hudd Dabangg in the background. And those certainly will be paisa-vasool moments for Salman Khan's fans.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
...is quite unlike the hysterical laugh acts that have been trying terribly hard to make you laugh in recent Bollywood. More of a chuckle-and-a-smirk drama...

Moh Maya Money
The twists are interesting, unexpected and add to the story. It has a non-linear narrative, but it's not tough to follow. However, the loose ends could have been tied up well, and the end leaves you wanting more.

Jacqueline I Am Coming
...works and survives despite its lengthy narrative solely because of Yadav’s heart-wrenching performance.

Lamhaa
...a no-holds-barred look at the multi-layered turmoil in Kashmir, with so many real-life references that you end up with just one conclusion: now here's a real film about a real problem.
