Fitoor
Engaging to the senses - visually and musically - is poetic even. Ironically, the heart though, is kept at bay.

Finding Fanny
The much promised eccentricity doesn't live throughout and you slowly lose interest in characters in this character-centric film. Yet worth a watch for the performances even if some are caricatures.

Filmistaan
The first half of Filmistaan makes you want to recommend it to everyone around. The second half, though not boring, becomes cliché-ridden.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari
...is worth a watch in the theaters, just for the love with which it is put together and the warmth with which you come out.

Fanney Khan
A bit too convoluted even if you could try to sympathise with the length that a common man has to go to, to fulfill his dreams.

Fan
“You want real acting from me? Here! Take that! And some more!” an emphatic announcement by Shah Rukh Khan in a not-bad thriller.

F.A.L.T.U
...while it is lively and fun, FALTU isn't something that'll stay with you after you've walked out of the theaters.

Entertainment
There are reasonable attempts at keeping the humor "different", but nowhere close to good enough.

English Vinglish
A simple Indian woman's complexes are explored with warmth and charm. Sridevi brings to us a home-maker's self-doubt with a wonderful performance despite the squeak in her voice and distracting accent.

Emotional Atyachar : The Film
...there is enough in the film to warrant a trip to the theater if dark, pulp-type fiction is your kind of entertainment.

Ekk Deewana Tha
A dull romantic film adds twists in the end to put every thriller worth its salt to shame.

Ek Villain
A revenge saga that works so hard in trying to make you feel for the characters that it fails and you are left gaping at the screen in bewilderment for over two hours.

Ek Tha Tiger
...ends up being a regular love story with a national angle and will in all likelihood be underwhelming for the fans.

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
...a mildly likeable, sweet valentine gift in an "it's the thought that counts" way.

Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga
Ultimately, falls into the category of stories that one of the film’s own characters describes: superficial. While doing so though it has some adorable moments, despite giving away way too much in its trailer. And of course, since it is issue-based, it cannot resist a predictably preachy climax.

Dum Maaro Dum
...makes a crime thriller as disinteresting as it could be. The lines are limp and the situations are far from creative. The plot is strung together with a series of events that have no flow.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha
That there is a pointer at the scores of social dynamics in an arranged marriage – pressure, gut, looks, submissiveness and so on. Dum Laga Ke Haisha has captured it all so well and in just the right measure to not make it dramatic and yet keeping you completely engrossed.

Drishyam
I don't remember the last time my emotions were engaged in a thriller, let alone a pounding heart and racing mind. A psychological thriller that hooks, thrills and keeps you thinking after it is done.

Dream Girl
Aims to expand on a hilarious ‘what if’ situation but suffers from an afterthought to philosophise it. Very witty dialogue and good performances in a hotch-potch of a film.

Don 2
Smart lines and slick camerawork turns into tiring witticism and regular big-budget technicalities because it is over-written and over-stylized.

Dolly Ki Doli
A strange case of you being on the side of the wrong-doer. Entertaining, though only in bits.

Do Dooni Chaar
It's mostly fun and emotional but falls into the pits of boredom every once in a while.

Dishoom
A thriller that cannot be bogged down by details. An action film that cannot be bothered to even attempt innovative moves.

Dilwale
More or less what you expect with a little twist thrown in. Ok fine, a couple of genuine laughs too.

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
Mediocre lines are converted to lame by some awful timing and some rock-solid misdirection. Save a couple of interesting characters performed well, there's nothing at all watchable in this 150-minute ordeal.

Dil Juunglee
A sincerely superficial film. Makes no attempt at making character motivations believable. A case of “believe it or leave it”. “Leave it”, it is then.

Dil Dhadakne Do
A few laugh out loud moments, a smile through and through. A few real problems looked at superficially. Some #FirstWorldProblem you smile a cynical smile at. Unfortunately, a little shallow, a little too flaky and preachy too.

Dhoom 3
It is one really long chase sequence, lots of Aamir Khan for Aamir Khan fans and of course you have some smart action sequences. Nothing more than that.

Dhobi Ghat
It's different, it's sincere, it's inconclusive, it's abstract in its own way. It's intriguing and it leaves you dissatisfied.
