Laila Majnu
With all its intensity and passion, it's a good break from breezy romcoms and one that will stir emotions within.

Stree
...does fairly well with the comedy, but even with several laugh-out-loud moments, the film feels a little too long. Towards the end, the movie drops the horror comedy treatment and becomes a little too serious about the conventional stabbing-the-ghost-in-the-heart kind of ideas that often play out in horror flicks.

Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se
...sure bears the hallmarks of a loud comedy, but loses much of its steam in the second half and culminates into a predictable climax.

Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi
This film takes the ideas of the original and it adds a zany new twist to the proceedings. The goofball humour gets a little over-the-top at times, but that’s exactly what works for this madcap comedy.

Genius
...is a messed up mumbo jumbo of some juvenile IIT hacks, loud sounds and verbose filmy dialoguebazi.

Satyameva Jayate
...desperately tries very hard to sell the age-old idea of revenge and righteousness. But the big booming treatment is a little too hard to accept and digest.

Gold
...a film which is more just a sports drama. This one is surely worth its weight in gold.

Vishwaroop II
...despite having some genuinely good moments, the film tries to put forth a little too much, a little too quickly.

Lashtam Pashtam
...sets out with good intentions, but fails to create great moments of cross-border bromance.

Redrum
...this horror/thriller/romance is the kind of mental torment that not even our worst enemies should be forced to endure.

Mulk
...focusses on some hard-hitting and burning issues, while also highlighting the crucial role that the media and various other channels of information play in disseminating the right news and facts to its citizens.

Fanney Khan
It does strike a few wrong chords to culminate into an emotional yet convenient climax. However, the showstopper is clearly Anil Kapoor with a knockout performance...

Karwaan
...might not be the roller coaster ride you expected it to be, but it leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling in the heart that says all’s well that ends well.

Nawabzaade
The writing is cliché and seems hastily assembled. Jayesh Pradhan has tried to pull off another bromance this year with ‘Nawabzaade’ but his take on the subject is so ho-hum that it goes haywire right from the word go.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3
...with a screenplay that surprises and performances to match, SBG3 successfully takes the legacy forward with minor bumps on the way.

Dhadak
While Parshya and Archi’s love story in Sairat was made with great honesty, realism and depth, giving us a perspective of the deep rooted prejudices in our society, Dhadak touches upon them too, but it merely skims the surface.

Teri Bhabhi Hai Pagle
With an absent script, poorly written dialogues and several attempts at low brow comedy, there is hardly anything worth looking forward to.

Teri Bhabhi Hai Pagle
...Shaad Ali’s narrative goes easy on the theatrics focussing more on the real turn of events, which have enough potential to inspire.

Sanju
Hirani, in his signature style, takes you through Sanju's remarkable journey with the finesse and commitment it needs.

Race 3
But for all its big moments, 'Race 3' just does not work up the feeling of suspense and intrigue that made the previous masala movies from the franchise a guilty pleasure.

Bhavesh Joshi Superhero
...needs to be appreciated for what it sets out to do – stirring the common man out of apathy by channelising our anger. It doesn’t entirely succeed, but Vikramaditya Motwane’s take on the superhero genre is worth a look.

Veere Di Wedding
We’ve rarely seen women on screen who are so uninhibited about their life, sexuality and desires. In that respect, ‘Veere Di Wedding’ is a brave effort indeed.

Bioscopewala
Debutant filmmaker Deb Medhekar has quite skilfully adapted Tagore’s classic story for the screen. He has weaved an emotionally rich spectacle in the form of Bioscopewala about the bond between fathers and daughters.

Parmanu
What ‘Parmanu’ lacks in detail and authenticity, it makes up with emotions and a sense of national pride. The narrative isn’t explosive but it does have the dramatic moments to keep the viewer engaged.

High Jack
...parades itself as a stoner comedy but after viewing it, you’d be left wondering if you need to be intoxicated to enjoy this cock-and-bull story.

Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain
The problem is not with acting or cinematography, it is the script that makes what could have been an exceptional tale of loss of love, a run-of-the-mill Bollywood masala flick.

Khajoor Pe Atke
...is a funny situational comedy that lacks emotional depth, but delivers belly laughs by the plentiful.

Hope Aur Hum
The film is more interesting in parts, while the whole feels a bit disjointed. A tighter script could have helped, but for now the little gags in the film work just fine.

The Past
...is clichéd and offers nothing that fans of the genre haven’t seen a million times before. This dreary Bollywood horror movie does not merit any sort of attention.

Raazi
Amidst all the compelling performances, this is Alia’s film as she continues to push her boundaries as an actor while challenging our expectations of her.
