Besharam (2013) 14% EDIT “Mrs Kapoor sums up the whole affair quite nicely. Enough, Ranbir, she seems to be saying. Especially since you're capable of so much more.” – The National (UAE) Oct 25, 2017 Full Review Simran (2017) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Kangana Ranaut is one among a tiny percentage of Bollywood actresses who can carry a film on their own.” – The National (UAE) Sep 20, 2017 Full Review Babumoshai Bandookbaaz (2017) 31% EDIT “Snide yet warm, merciless yet loyal, misled but true to his instinct, Babu makes you root for him, even as he remains the sole cause of all the destruction swirling around him.” – The National (UAE) Aug 30, 2017 Full Review Toilet: Ek Prem Katha (2017) 21% 3.5/5 EDIT “[Toilet] cleverly channels all the usual Hindi cinema tropes - song, dance, action, melodrama.” – The National (UAE) Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017) 29% 2.5/5 EDIT “In the end, Jab Harry Met Sejal will quite possibly be declared a hit, even if it's nothing to write home about, simply because SRK stars in it.” – The National (UAE) Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Dear Zindagi (2016) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Maybe this is the year Shah Rukh Khan starts to reinvent himself. Maybe he'll do fewer masala films and take on projects such as Dear Zindagi instead, because he absolutely shines.” – The National (UAE) Nov 30, 2016 Full Review Rock On 2 (2016) 30% 2.5/5 EDIT “Rock On 2 could have been so much more, but winds up as a dim echo of the original film.” – The National (UAE) Nov 22, 2016 Full Review Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) 53% 3/5 EDIT “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is utterly watchable -- it's the perfect Diwali romantic movie. The only complaint is the constant, ingratiating servitude to Shah Rukh Khan that Johar displays.” – The National (UAE) Nov 2, 2016 Full Review Shaadi Ke Side Effects (2014) 62% 3/5 EDIT “Every joke seems effortless, every quarrel believable and it's only [Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan's] sparkling chemistry that saves this film from becoming another unrealistic, happy-ever-after Bollywood flick.” – The National (UAE) Nov 2, 2016 Full Review Bobby Jasoos (2014) 3/5 EDIT “In the midst of all this is Balan, effortless as the cheeky, fearless, sometimes bumbling amateur detective fighting for her place in this world of men and, closer to home, her conservative father.” – The National (UAE) Nov 2, 2016 Full Review Gunday (2014) 56% 3/5 EDIT “Gunday is well made, slickly edited and stays true in its rendering of Kolkata during that turbulent era. But Bachchan fans will have more fun identifying all the references and tropes the movie is stuffed with.” – The National (UAE) Nov 2, 2016 Full Review Shivaay (2016) 11% 1/5 EDIT “Ajay Devgn -- the Bollywood actor with the permanently hangdog expression -- directs and stars in Shivaay, a torturously long action drama, in which he plays a violent, sexist mountaineer who makes bad decisions.” – The National (UAE) Nov 2, 2016 Full Review Mirzya (2016) 57% 1.5/5 EDIT “The romantic tragedy is doomed from the start, mostly because of its disturbing premise.” – The National (UAE) Oct 12, 2016 Full Review Dishoom (2016) 50% 2.5/5 EDIT “As for the story, there is none. A solid script is not why we purchase tickets to a masala film, is it? So sit back, eat your popcorn and have a blast.” – The National (UAE) Aug 4, 2016 Full Review Bombay Velvet (2015) 42% 2/5 EDIT “All the rich visual layers and authenticity cannot save Bombay Velvet, which is at best a one-dimensional story with characters whose fate the audience will be able to predict within the first 20 minutes.” – The National (UAE) May 21, 2015 Full Review Bang Bang (2014) 20% 3/5 EDIT “No Shakespeare remake, this, but you'll get your money's worth.” – The National (UAE) May 5, 2015 Full Review PK (2014) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Never preachy or high-handed, the filmmaker is an expert at presenting complicated concepts in the simplest of ways.” – The National (UAE) May 5, 2015 Full Review
