I don't know about bravery and courage, but I recognize the attempt in making an epic entertainer and I see partial success. Unfortunately, only partial. And yet, Salmaniacs can rejoice!

Utt Pataang
...a 100-minute film with a reasonably interesting story, a fantastic flow in the screenplay, and decent performances seems slow and boring...

Uri
Slick war action could make it worth a watch. But be warned, the forced and never-ending emotional drama is a bit much and the propaganda is inescapable.

Ungli
Makes you feel empowered, even though you can see their solutions are way too simplistic.

So, I am supposed to find people laughing at perceived body flaws funny? Thank goodness for some great supporting cast, and decent lead cast performances.

Ugly
The repulsion you feel towards Ugly is what makes it a good film. A thriller that makes you uncomfortable from within.

Udta Punjab
Gritty film that makes you uncomfortable enough for it to stay long after you leave the theater. Yes, that makes for a good film.

Turning 30
What could have been a celebration of all things woman might just make all women turning 30 into a laughing stock.

Tumhari Sulu
Strong characters with even stronger performances let down by an awfully ‘meh’ climax. And such a bummer that most of the ‘fun’ moments made it to the trailer.

Tumbbad
A meaty story and a gory film which deviates from the typical possessed body horror storyline. Chills the spine as a horror film about supernatural phenomenon should even though I am not convinced horror films should be made at all.

Tum Milo Toh Sahi
Why do decent story, sweet characters played by wonderful performers have to so often be marred by a crappy climax? Why-o-why-o-why?

Tum Mile
Love, calamity, death all taken way too casually in a drab, still-life sort-of a way.

Tum Bin 2
Philosophizes a little too much with little insight. And I wonder where we have seen the story earlier? Hmmmm...

Tu Hai Mera Sunday
A cute comment on everyday, urban life. Becomes a little 'out there', every once in a while. But so does everyday life, right? While the philosophising is a tad lame, the romantic bits are adorable.

Tribhanga
So, so many difficult issues dealt with a light, matter-of-factly hand. Lots of ground covered in a breezy 90 minutes without being rushed. An engaging watch from start to finish.

Toonpur Ka Superrhero
Even if it might be the best animation film to come out of Mumbai, it is not good enough. There's an attempt to cram everything seen in films from Hollywood in one film, whether or not there's room for the concept. Yet, it might not be a bad entertainer for kids with some caramel popcorn handy.

Toilet
Brings up many important issues related not just to religion, culture or even sanitation. It points a huge finger at sexism and the politics of both home and nation. But, is extremely preachy through most of it.

Toh Baat Pakki
A wannabe-Hrishikesh Mukherjee film. It’s one of those simple one-line plots that if told well could be both entertaining and insightful. But, this is neither, mainly because its loud and tries too hard to keep it light.

Titli
Noir taken to such a grim level that you disconnect after a bit and begin to look at it as someone narrating a gruesome story.

Thugs Of Hindostan
It’s relevance to today’s times is striking. Interestingly, Thugs of Hindostan includes enough of the trappings to make you cringe and yet manages to keep you entertained.

The Zoya Factor
Attempts to keep things light, which work at times and don’t at others. A film that wouldn’t kill you if you watched it, but one you wouldn’t miss if you didn’t.

The Sky Is Pink
Great performances and a touching story bring in a lot of tears despite knowing how it all ends. Might have worked even better, were it shorter.

The Legend of Michael Mishra
..has no substance what so ever, which is alright, right? We are used to films with no substance. Well, this one has no form either.
