  • Kai Po Che!

    ...seems to have been made with much passion and dedication, and its intentions override its shortcomings. Casting, cinematography and music – and not the boys – are the film’s three heroes.

  • Special 26

    ...the few hiccups aside, the movie works primarily due to Pandey’s ability to draw in the viewer with witty writing and interesting character interactions.

  • David

    ...given that David had the potential to be three great films in one. Instead, it ends up being only half of what it promised.

  • Listen... Amaya

    Too often, it feels like the film is straining for hipness, with its coffee table books and jogging and touristy Delhi locales like Khan Market and Chandni Chowk. All of which are at odds with the three living, breathing characters at its centre.

  • Race 2

    ...is the kind of film you wish for your worst enemy to watch on a Saturday night at the most expensive multiplex ticket available. Unlike the first part of the franchise, though, it’s not even one of those guilty pleasure films that act as accompaniment on a drunken night with friends. Even as a terribly bad film, Race 2 is a disappointment.

  • Table No. 21

    Bhatt initially keeps the audience engaged with a quick pace and amusing vignettes such as a machine which measures the decibel levels of a slap. But he loses his grip in the second half, especially as the audience is able to put together the clues and predict the game’s end.

  • Khiladi 786

    Ashish R Mohan, making his directorial debut here after assisting Rohit Shetty on the Golmaal series, pops the Dabangg/Singham/Son of Sardar template into the microwave, lets it heat for a bit and serves it up to a public that seemingly can’t get enough of silly action comedies.

  • Heroine

    The saving grace of this film is Kapoor, who holds her own despite an inept screenplay that is keen to sensationalize rather than empathize for the protagonist.

  • Raaz 3

    Vikram Bhatt, the current caretaker of Ramsay’s camp horror legacy, employs the tried- and-tested formulae: translucent white curtains blow, doors creak, untraceable husky voices deliver threats, all of which never quite draw out a scream.

  • Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi

    The movie could have risen to become a nuanced drama about a couple in their forties, struggling to balance between their familial responsibilities and matters of heart. Instead we get a hokey love story that never quite beguiles or tickles.

  • Gangs Of Wasseypur 2

    The movie is as much heartless fun as the first, but it will also hopefully be the last word in the romanticisation of mofussil chic that has come to characterise a section of Hindi cinema.

  • Maximum

    Somewhere in the 90 minutes is a story that tells us nothing new or fascinating about the nexus between the cops and the underworld.

  • Department

    ...the movie is a self-consciously parodic version of the cops-and-gangster genre that Varma has mined successfully in the past as a director and producer.
