Miley Naa Miley Hum
Miley Naa Miley Hum ends up being a bland family drama about parents burdening their children with aspirations they have for themselves. It could have been so much better. Oh well...

Unfortunately, the engaging situations are detailed with lame lines and the good performances are packaged in tacky overalls.

Mickey Virus
A comic thriller that wants to do all the right things but misses as many times as it makes its mark.

Meri Pyaari Bindu
Get swooned by the dialogue, the chemistry, the familiar give-and-take of a love relationship. Same story and yet so charming.

Mere Pyare Prime Minister
At best, serves as an introduction to a Mumbai slum’s dire toilet situation. A rather tepid narration of a story that aims to tug at our heart and awaken a sleeping Mr. System. Succeeds at neither owing to its simplistic take.

Mere Dad Ki Maruti
It is laced with some hilarious one-liners and tries to be hep with youngistan lingo, but is ultimately predictable and generally silly.

Maximum
The business and underworld of the Indian police department is showcased with style and great performances. But it still feels same-ol' same-ol', just the jobs of the people doing it is the same.

...is beautifully shot, no doubt about that, but a regular love story takes forever to finish, and then there's some more left.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
...is the typical political satire drill. The only difference is an ace act by Pankaj Kapur, 2-3 wonderfully insightful dialogues, and some feisty, witty lines.

Masaan
...carries equanimity of sorts in the “life is what it is” kind of a way with simplicity and flair in equal measure.

Over-dramatized. Over-fictionalized. Over-commercialized. Too episodic. An inspiring story nevertheless.

Margarita With A Straw
Touching upon a lot of intense topics, Margarita With A Straw gets you up and listening about all of them through a tale about a “different” person. But it doesn't necessarily get you engaged through and through.

Mardaani 2
The makers have obviously worked on improving the aspects that were little off in the first episode while making what was done well even better. Except for a couple of quibbles, Mardaani 2 works as a thriller for sure.

Mardaani
A slick even if not taut thriller more than a film that keeps the social issue it is about in your mind after you walk out.

Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota
Quite a bit of fun while it lasts even though it is predictable at most times. Just good to see an attempt by Hindi films in the pulp genre.

A dispassionate narration might seem like an unbiased view but comes across as dry. It’s still a decent watch to get a glimpse of the man’s life.

Confused lovers in films bore me. I can’t empathise with them any longer. Despite that, the performances took me through, they are that good.

Manjhi
Leaves you worried from within. Worried for the country, worried for humanity. Yes, that means it is a film you must watch at least once, even if you don't rush to the theater.

Manikarnika
The makers take the strength of the original, real-life story and character for granted and entirely focus on form, rather than content. Good thing then that the brave warrior woman needs no man or depth in writing to shine.

It's all over the place, and yet the mystery and the characters are intriguing.

Lots of style. Not substance-less but you can tell that wasn't the focus.

As an intelligent thriller, it works. As a poke to social conscience, can movies do more than poke?

M.S. Dhoni
The film is more a story of middle-class India than about the most successful Indian cricket captain. And that's its charm.

Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
Fine performances and some fresh, earthy dialogue keep the momentum and interest in this otherwise plain plot.

Love Sonia
How does one evaluate a movie on lives where obvious racism feels like a secondary issue? Fragmented narrative feels trivial. At the risk of giving the movie away, what happens to lives that never get better? What do you call it? Human-degradation tourism? Thankfully hopeful? Unrealistically optimistic? Or are these phrases a viewer’s way of shirking reality because we find it uncomfortable to watch? How can you discuss performances and stories that wrench your gut, chill your spine?
