Baar Baar Dekho
A long-winded way of saying something quite simple, really. The buildup and guesswork all seem like they want to lead you up to something very profound, but nada.

Baaghi 3
Has the power to numb your brain to inane action, to bore you with same ol’ action, to tire you with relentless action.

Baaghi 2
I am pleasantly surprised by the attempt at a detailed story. That, in the end, it all turns out to be rather ‘meh’ as expected, is another matter.

Baadshaho
Delivers a story with lots of style - in the first half. Alas, you come to expect what happens in the last hour and lose the thrill along the way.

B.A. Pass
Not too often is women's sexuality or rather her openness about her sexuality explored in Hindi films. For that, BA Pass can be appreciated. But other than that, it is a pretty hollow affair.

Azhar
A collection of newspaper articles presented in the form of moving images. Yet, it brings some form of closure to not-so-happy trip down nostalgia, even if it is fictional.

Aurangzeb
...makes the corrupt cop theme interesting. For that itself, it becomes worth a watch despite being a little drab and a little stretched out in the end.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
The light tone keeps you engaged for most of the film, especially the parodied songs. There are a few "aawwww" moments too. But, it is a tiny lecture on the changing value system and gets a little sarcastic.

Article 15
Of course, it supports an ideology, has an agenda and is prejudiced. The real question is, would we be surprised if we read a page-7 headline of such an incident? Would we be shocked if we knew for sure it really happened? No, right? Exactly why such films need to be made.

Arjun
...has decent animation by Indian standards which equate to very average ones by international ones, notwithstanding the differences in budgets. Also, the great epic has been tinkered around with to no advantage.

Anjaana Anjaani
After all, you can say "boy meets girl" only in so many different ways. Despite that when you have fun; and you care for the boy and the girl; you know you are watching a brilliant film.

Angrezi Medium
Guilt-tripping masked under the garb of a parent-daughter relationship. If the masking is intentional, it’s a shame. If it isn’t, then the writing is all over the place.

Andhadhun
An absolutely absorbing first half written, performed and executed so well that the slightly convoluted and stretched second half cannot mar the experience.

Amit Sahni Ki List
Like its lead character, the film is a little lost. Which by itself isn't a bad thing, but difficult to make an interesting story out of.

Always Kabhi Kabhi
The lasting impact though is of only "blah". It doesn't remain the chick-flick it starts out as, nor does it execute the message it wants to put across well.

All Is Well
When you feel bad for the actors, you don't need to say any more about the film.

Aligarh
It is an important film. It is a courageous film even. The film does some things really well. But, it isn't necessarily an absorbing one.

Akira
Fiery thriller that doesn't let you think about anything else. For most parts anyway.

AK vs AK
Meta has a certain charm. But the tell-don’t-show climax that is typical of thrillers is a put-off. Even so, it is an interesting watch for how the medium is used.

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
A rom-com that is half-baked comedy and a quarter-baked romance.

Ajab Gazabb Love
True to its name, Ajab Gazabb Love show cases an amazingly weird (not in a good way) love story which is juvenile, regressive and mocks at poverty when the attempt, I assume was to sensitize.

Where weird goes terribly wrong and comes across as a desperate attempt to become quirky funny.

Aiyaary
A decent thriller with a valid crux that could've engaged much better if it weren’t so slow. You’re left with too much time figure out the loopholes in the twists and turns.

Aisha
Director, Rajeshree Ojha has decent intentions but Aisha fumbles and stumbles downhill.

Airlift
A dusty desert wrought with equal measure of humanity and inhumanity. A film that shows you both facets without making much ado about either. Ought to be watched because these 'too good to be true' events are true.

Agent Vinod
An almost 3-hour long, slick chase sequence that gets exasperating by the end.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
The film slices and dices emotional relationships in many, many ways. Watch but please not with cynical unromantics.
