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

Bahubali
One epic war sequence at the end of a story that is not only half-hearted, but also half-told.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan
The sentiment carries the film rather than the star, for a change. Yet, film too long to do justice to a theater outing.

Guddu Rangeela
A thick plot that throws in surprises but ends the usual way – blah. An overwhelming sense of wanting to send a social message, even if understandable, doesn't help the cause.

ABCD - Any Body Can Dance - 2
Lots of great hip-hop moves. If you are looking for story, move on.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani
It takes the romance out of pain in love. Could there be a worse crime?

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.

Welcome 2 Karachi
All the witty one-liners are in the trailer. The rest of the film is tacky with a story line that's all over the place.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns
The music will not leave your head in a hurry, and the performances will wow you. But Tanu Weds Manu Returns isn't likely to remain with you as film, because of its rather ludicrous plot.

Bombay Velvet
The lyrical noir and violence are enjoyable while they last. Unfortunately, not beyond that though. Before long, the plot starts getting convoluted.

Gabbar Is Back
One of those films that delivers exactly what you expect only to leave you in a more “meh” mode than you started out with.

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.

Mr. X
At the end, I was a little surprised and a little disappointed. Given the dilemma and the conclusion thereof, the concept deserved better screenplay and writing.

Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
A decent attempt at an authentic setting and intense plot distracts this thriller from thrilling you.

Hunterrr
Trailer covers all the novelty of the plot. The rest is a regular coming-of-age cum love story masked under the garb of a sex comedy. Neither very funny, nor insightful.

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.

Badlapur
A well-made, well-performed revenge drama that makes you question your definitions of right and wrong, even if the story is unconvincing.

Roy
A romantic rumination trying to be sold as a thriller it is not. Interesting but not enough. Lots of philosophy but towards no tangible direction.

Shamitabh
A tribute to a baritone, Shamitabh serves well for the voice's fans. Unfortunately, stretches imagination and its length a tad much making it repetitive and tiring.

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

Baby
While Baby has the usual trappings of being predictable in the larger picture, it grabs your attention and keeps it there, especially post-interval.

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

PK
Yet again, Rajkumar Hirani blends comedy with a social message and gets a point across. Even if the comedy doesn't work all that well, it is a film worth a watch for sure.

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

Action Jackson
145 minutes of super-stylish action. There is about 10 minutes worth of story somewhere in there. But, does that really matter? And does it count that it doesn't matter?
