Dil Se (1998) Anupama Chopra Amid the reels of tripe churned out by Bollywood every week, Dil Se... is a noble attempt. But coming from Mani, that's simply not good enough.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) Anupama Chopra K3G has some fine writing, etched-out characters, textured moments and, at least in the first half, a well-paced screenplay.

2.5/5
Badhaai Ho (2018) Suhani Singh It's in the first half while capturing the minutiae of middle class life in the Kaushik household that the family comedy registers its finest moments.

Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai (2010) Kaveree Bamzai Pleasant enough but worth a visit to the multiplex? No, not even for Farah Khan.

2.5/5
Bhagamathi (2018) Kirubhakar Purushothaman The cluttered screenplay, plot holes and messy subplots have made this G Ashok-directed film dull and unenjoyable.

The State vs. Jolly LL.B 2 (2017) Ananya Bhattacharya Kudos to Subhash Kapoor for making his Jolly LLB 2 on a believable plot. These are all real cases we have seen, heard of, grown up with. From references to Sunny Deol to what actually goes on inside a courtroom, Jolly LLB 2 has it all.

Indu Sarkar (2017) Ananya Bhattacharya We need a lot more films on the Emergency. But not at the cost of content and execution, please.

Bajirao Mastani (2015) Ananya Bhattacharya In all, Bajirao Mastani is an experience. And one that needs to be savoured in a theatre.

2/5
Raabta (2017) Ananya Bhattacharya This a story of love through ages and lives, but Vijan is no Alfred Noyes. And Raabta is no Highwayman.

2/5
Hate Story 3 (2015) Ananya Bhattacharya Vishal Pandya's Hate Story 3 is one of those films that make you wonder exactly what you want to do after watching it. Laugh, cry, tear your hair out.

3/5
Hindi Medium (2017) Samrudhi Ghosh Hindi Medium may use over-dramatised events to make its message hit home, but in spite of its hiccups, the film is not bogged down because of the performances and the humour.

3.5/5
Hawaa Hawaai (2014) Rohit Khilnani The hero of the film is the child actor Partho Gupte who delivers a wonderful performance. Saqib Salim is good too but the film belongs to the child actors.

1/5
Hunterrr (2015) Rohit Khilnani The concept seems interesting but when it's not backed by a good story it looks like the makers just are resorting to witless humor to get some eyeballs. Hunterrr seems nothing but another forced adult comedy!

1/5
Half Girlfriend (2017) Ananya Bhattacharya Beware of Half Girlfriend. You'll let go of half your sanity within the theatre.
Posted Dec 16, 2017  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Ab Tak Chhappan 2 (2015) Rohit Khilnani Ab Tak Chappan 2 is a pointless film. It's a film that shouldn't have been made in the first place.

3.5/5
Aruvi (2017) Kirubhakar Purushothaman Aditi Balan is undoubtedly the best find of 2017 in Tamil cinema. From being the jubilant school girl to becoming a worn-out dying lady, she looks pretty convincing, and more importantly, never boring.

2/5
Gulaab Gang (2014) Suhani Singh As Gulaab Gang runs long and attempts to wrap up the proceedings quickly, few questions are unanswered.
Posted Dec 14, 2017  Edit critic review
0.5/5
Great Grand Masti (2016) Tatsam Mukherjee Great Grand Masti doesn't provoke many questions when you're leaving the theatre. Nothing related to the film any way.

3/5
Global Baba (2016) Rohit Khilnani Though the film doesn't have 'stars,' the performances by the actors in the film will blow you away.
Posted Dec 13, 2017  Edit critic review
4/5
The Lunchbox (2013) Vinayak Chakravorty The Lunchbox imagines its characters with warmth.
Posted Dec 13, 2017  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Aashiqui 2 (2013) Vinayak Chakravorty Aashiqui 2 is in no way about setting trends. The film merely banks on the power of saleable music and the novelty of a fresh cast to enable brothers Bhatt, Mahesh and Mukesh, make maximum moolah within minimum budget as they have done all along.
Posted Dec 13, 2017  Edit critic review
3/5
Shaadi Ke Side Effects (2014) Rohit Khilnani The film dips in the second half and is way too lengthy for this genre. Nevertheless it's a decent watch!
Posted Dec 13, 2017  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Gunday (2014) Suhani Singh It's unpretentious in its aim to appease at all costs and be an entertainer with doses of action, drama, romance, humour and yes, bromance.
Posted Dec 12, 2017  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Gunday (2014) Rohit Khilnani Gunday is an entertaining film. It's old wine in a new bottle and it tastes awesome!

3.5/5
Ram-Leela (2013) Faheem Ruhani The director's treatment of the subject is outstanding. It's interesting how there is always looming large a certain destructive, violent streak in the narrative even when it is a romantic scene at play.

4/5
Ram-Leela (2013) Rohit Khilnani Bhansali keeps you glued to the screen, gets terrific performances out of most of the actors and keeps the plot together.

3.5/5
Jolly LLB (2013) Vinayak Chakravorty Jolly LLB impresses for the way it avoids all frills while giving you an enjoyable watch.

Ghayal Once Again (2016) Suhani Singh Often the film flaunts the earnestness of its cause and then progresses to become ridiculous.
Posted Dec 12, 2017  Edit critic review
4/5
Filmistaan (2012) Faheem Ruhani The director extracts brilliant performances from the lead actors Sharib Hashmi and the Inamulhaq, the man who makes a living from pirating films. The supporting cast - Kumud Mishra and Gopal Dutt also lends able support.
Posted Dec 11, 2017  Edit critic review
3/5
Filmistaan (2012) Suhani Singh Like Hindi movies, which to be enjoyed require audiences to set aside logic, Filmistaan also requires the same occasionally.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami (2014) Rohit Khilnani If your idea of going for a film is to get entertained and have a good time, then this is not something you would want invest your time in.
Posted Dec 11, 2017  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Do Lafzon Ki Kahaani (2016) Ananya Bhattacharya In all, Do Lafzon Ki Kahani has nothing much to offer apart from Randeep Hooda and the MMA sequences. Watch it if you swear by Hooda.
Posted Dec 09, 2017  Edit critic review
1.5/5
Dishkiyaoon (2014) Suhani Singh Talwar fails to make viewers care about the fate of any of the characters. There is too much happening - including a chase sequence on the Iran-Afghanistan border - but the action never piques the interest or makes for gripping drama.
Posted Dec 08, 2017  Edit critic review
3/5
Dilwale (2015) Ananya Bhattacharya Dilwale is immensely enjoyable despite an oh-my-god-this-is-so-predictable story. Keep your brains out of the picture, and you have an out-and-out entertainer.

Dedh Ishqiya (2014) Suhani Singh Director Abhishek Chaubey makes a compelling case that sequels are not redundant.

Dear Maya (2017) Suhani Singh Even Koirala can't salvage this cloying affair.

Fukrey Returns (2017) Suhani Singh Eliminate Choocha from Fukrey Returns and there's little going for the film.

Daawat-e-Ishq (2014) Rohit Khilnani Daawat-e-Ishq may not be a perfect film but it's an adorable love story and the two young actors make it paisa vasool. Go for it because the taste is just right!
Posted Dec 08, 2017  Edit critic review
3/5
Daawat-e-Ishq (2014) Vinayak Chakravorty [Daatwat-e-Ishq] doesn't quite leave you hungry for more, but Habib Faisal's new film has the important ingredient of an original flavour driving its core idea.
Posted Dec 08, 2017  Edit critic review
2/5
Creature (2014) Vinayak Chakravorty The film obviously suffers from budget constraint, which may explain the tacky special effects. It serves little intrigue and banks on the sporadic jolts courtesy loud music.

0.5/5
Creature (2014) Saurabh Dwivedi After watching Creature 3D you will not remain a homo sapien but will change into a new creature.

Coffee Bloom (2015) Rohit Khilnani If you are up for a good relaxed weekend viewing then Coffee Bloom should be your pick.
Posted Dec 07, 2017  Edit critic review
3/5
Aisha (2010) Kaveree Bamzai Eat it delicately, and hopefully silently, like a guilty pleasure. It's trashy but it's beautifully trashy. Almost like the food and conversation at a long Delhi brunch.
Posted Dec 07, 2017  Edit critic review
1/5
Babloo Happy Hai (2014) Saurabh Dwivedi The truth of the matter is that Babloo may be happy, but the audience won't be.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) Samrudhi Ghosh Katappa is one of the fascinating characters ever written in Indian cinema.

Kyon Ho Gaya Na (2004) Anupama Chopra Karnik is a fine technician who has taken care to dress each frame. What rankles is what might have been.

5/5
Sholay (1975) Faheem Ruhani The film with its huge ensemble star cast, excellently choreographed action sequences, extremely powerful dialogues, super-hit music is one of the biggest blockbuster of our times.

Suicide Squad (2016) Tatsam Mukherjee Suicide Squad is a big, bloated mess of a superhero film.

Sarrainodu (2016) Kirubhakar Purushothaman [There are] appalling errors that make you keep looking at your watch during the course of the film.
