Kaalo
...the horror exists only as long as Kaalo stays out of the frame as an ominous presence in the backdrop. Once the apparition flies into the frame, the fear ironically flees because Kaalo seems to be having a bad make-up day.

Kaalakaandi
Even as you continue to watch the film patiently, beyond a point, it's nothing to write home about. You eventually sum up your thoughts on the film by borrowing the film's expletive-laden dialogue —, 'experimental ke naam pe chu*****'?

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!

In all fairness, Pulkit and Yami breathe life into their characters. We wish they were not saddled with such a lacklustre script.

Junglee
Watch Junglee for its spellbinding action, cute elephants and gorgeous jungles. Such an adventurous and brave attempt is rare in Hindi cinema.

Julie 2
Even though the story is set in current times, the narrative plays out like a 90s masala flick. The dialogues must have been written to induce wolf-whistles but are cringeworthy to say the least.

Jugni
Despite its freshness, the film fails to create an impact. It is hard to be affected by it due to its lack of depth.

Judgemental Hai Kya
The film pushes the envelope as a dark, psychological whodunit, with a social message weaved in that can’t be ignored. The film treads into a zone where Bollywood has rarely been, and just for that, it deserves applause.

Jolly LLB 2
The plot has enough laugh-out-loud situations and emotional outbursts to keep you invested especially in the razor-sharp first half.

...works because of its bigger point - decency is for all and worth fighting for. Using bittersweet satire and plot twirls, the film shows corruption even used against the corrupt.

Joker
...a 'vegetarian' family dish that overloads the cheesy corn without adding common sense. Watch if you can digest well.

It's gripping but like the characters, the plot is way too ambiguous, deceitful and tedious for your liking.

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.

Jigariyaa
A cliched story and sluggish pace are major drawbacks. If it wasn't for that, Jigariyaa could have been a film worth remembering.

Jhootha Kahin Ka

Jhootha Hi Sahi
...largely follows the idiom which Abbas Tyrewala enunciated in his debut venture, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, reiterating his use of youthful lingo (strange becomes ajeebs here), wisecrack humour and 'cool gang' bonding, with a celebration -- and a spoof -- of the traditional Bollywood 'andaaz' (style) of essaying romance.

Jhalki

Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai
Choppy dubbing and lazy editing seal the movie’s fate. Almost two-and-a-half hours later when you’re defeated by a film that doesn’t seem to end, there’s a song so tacky, you feel you’ve had it. But does it end there? No...

Gupta, known to be sounder with technique than story-telling (many of his films have been foreign inspirations), has got it right this time.
