Badmaash Company
It's everything that's fun about a conjob - the core idea, the wool-over-the-eyes, the joke at the victim's expense. Everyone gets their just desserts and surprisingly all ends well.

Chittagong
Even though it doesn't have any other emotional connect, it is a lesson we shouldn't miss.

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.

Jagga Jasoos
Cute, fun detective story taking on huge issues of the world. Juggles all of that well but becomes long-drawn in the process.

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
...mixed feelings because of the execution, and because it's a perfect history lesson. A must-know story with dull narration.

Paan Singh Tomar
...is commendable and recommended watch because of the issue it tries to address.

Hasee Toh Phasee
A girl-meets-boy story with a difference. A girl-meets-boy story which works despite typical moments that qualify a film as a romantic comedy.

Gangs Of Wasseypur
You'll watch a great film unfold that is engaging despite being slow and violent.

Parched
Layered, stark and sensitive, Parched is a must watch film - even if it is not a film that is watched easily.

Shab
Erratic in engaging and evoking empathy. Could be watched for its director and theme.

Lafangey Parindey
A film jis mein emotion bhi hai d-rrrama bhi hai t-rrragedy bhi hai and comedy and action too - and all in good portions.

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.

Bhoothnath Returns
Though it is a tad too naïve and preachy, and a little too long for it's own good, the film attempts to make a point that a number of us can learn from; it is a well-acted film with some genuine moments.

3 Idiots
...little more slapsticky than the Munnabhai series, the crass humor seems to be with a purpose. What remains fascinating is the blend of comedy with his social messages, as usual.

Highway
A warm yet emotionally violent story that sweeps you off your feet, but for a few scenes that go amiss.

Raees
Crime drama from the 80s, songs like they are from the 90s, slickness and style from the 00s. And story like a thriller should be written.

Karthik Calling Karthik
...the twist is indeed worth the time because it's not 100% predictable. If nothing else Farhan Akhtar's ace performance is something you will relish for quite a while.

Chakravyuh
An engaging, must-be-heard story told with great balance. Yet, half-hearted focus on relationships distracts from the main story.

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.

Many mystery stories for one. Each one drawing you in, to think about the details. What more can we ask for? Have great actors tell us the stories? Sure, take that too.

Sulemani Keeda
Beautifully acted, with some crackling lines, it's the kind of bug you won't mind being bitten by.

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.

...starts unsurely, mildly irritates while casually displaying a wasted life amidst drugs, alcohol and sex and then grips you into a story that makes you want good things to happen to a person you didn't like much or worse, were indifferent to.
