Fukrey Returns
...it is funnier than the first part. That familiar craziness you've seen in the characters is not just back; it has doubled, in fact.

Viraam
With insipid performances, a very slow pace and a plot that you can smell miles away, Viraam is a film that could have been better if it avoided the cliched treatment that is often given to Hindi films.

Tera Intezaar
With weak performances, forced VFX and a badly structured script, 'Tera Intezaar' is a film where you will be waiting desperately for the end credits to roll.

Firangi
The family film isn't really tacky or repulsive, it's outright boring and that's probably worse because it's not even unintentionally entertaining.

The Window
Young director VK Choudhary sets out to tell the tale of a revolutionary, but tries to fit in too many exemplars along the way. Acting works, the story doesn't.

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.

Kadvi Hawa
For a serious film on global warming, Kadvi Hawa is non-preachy and entirely watchable.

Ajji
Theatre actor, writer, director Sushama Deshpande commands your unflinching attention from beginning to end with her unsaid words and raw emotions. She makes her battle every woman's battle, who demands her safety and right to be heard.

Tumhari Sulu
The essence of this story is 'Main Kar Sakti Hai', and with such a refined and affable actress as Vidya Balan in the lead, it is lovingly captured in 'Tumhari Sulu' making it an entertaining watch for the whole family.

Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana
What then keeps you engaged despite the rather implausible plot riddled with misunderstandings is some real good performances, led by the very talented Rajkummar Rao.

Qarib Qarib Singlle
As long as you don't expect fireworks, enjoy this sweet film that will leave you smiling.

Ittefaq
...is not a taut thriller that you expect it to be. But if patience is your asset, this unhurried suspense drama can be watched for Akshaye Khanna's crackling screen presence, acting prowess and sublime charm.

Ribbon
...starts off with one storyline and ends with another, but fails to capture the gamut of both.

Ranchi Diaries
There's a very interesting and topical twist at the end, but you have to endure a lot until you reach there, which is a poor bargain.

CRD
...is a film that will make you laugh and even shock you more than a few times, but it will never bore you. Go for it if you like your movies dark and twisted with a heavy dose of humour.

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.

Haseena Parkar
...a poorly written, acted and executed film that unintentionally victimises and thus justifies her warped sense of power under the pretext of 'protecting her family'.

The Final Exit
While the philosophical turn the film takes is interesting, it's a tad too metaphysical. A different kind of horror, go for this one if you're interested in a good dose of philosophy with your horror.

Newton
Amidst laughing, it'll leave you thinking, which - and we need to be reminded of this - is what good cinema should do. Both your funny bone and your grey cells will thank you for watching it.

Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi
With a choppy edit, over the top performances by all and an overkill of hate on Paresh Rawal's part, it resembles a TV show more than a film.

Simran
Frankly, you can't emotionally invest in Simran or root for her as much as you might want to. But when you watch the film, you will find yourself warming up to her occasionally, because she's all you've got. Let's give Kangana her due.

B.A. Pass 2
Eventually, you try to make too much sense of a relatively ambiguous movie, whose story progresses from being unpredictable to bizarre.

Poster Boys
This dramedy that revolves around men who unknowingly promote 'Bina taka nasbandi operation' is a light-hearted and clever take on the population problem that plagues our nation.

Poster Boys
...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.
