Veer-Zaara (2004) 93% 3/5 EDIT “A strong script, good performances, and solid direction are the assets. The flip side? It’s still clichéd.” – Hindustan Times Oct 11, 2022 Full Review The Lunchbox (2013) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The Lunchbox imagines its characters with warmth.” – India Today Dec 13, 2017 Full Review Aashiqui 2 (2013) 17% 2.5/5 EDIT “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.” – India Today Dec 13, 2017 Full Review Jolly LLB (2013) 71% 3.5/5 EDIT “Jolly LLB impresses for the way it avoids all frills while giving you an enjoyable watch.” – India Today Dec 12, 2017 Full Review Daawat-e-Ishq (2014) 44% 3/5 EDIT “[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.” – India Today Dec 8, 2017 Full Review Creature (2014) 2/5 EDIT “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.” – India Today Dec 8, 2017 Full Review Man of Steel (2013) 57% 3/5 EDIT “The film is a fun watch. But Man Of Steel won't redefine its genre as, say, The Dark Knight did.” – India Today Jun 20, 2016 Full Review Skyfall (2012) 92% 4/5 EDIT “One of the most imaginative entertainers the series has ever given us.” – India Today Oct 5, 2015 Full Review The Dark Knight Rises (2012) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “Spectacular action propped by the right dose of drama keeps coming in, and a runtime of 164 minutes -- huge by Hollywood standards -- doesn't seem too long.” – India Today Jul 28, 2015 Full Review The Wolverine (2013) 71% 3/5 EDIT “It isn't the best of the mutant series. It's just a sharp marketing trick aimed to please Jackman fans, and it works just fine.” – India Today Jul 14, 2015 Full Review Thor: The Dark World (2013) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Bring on Thor 3, but serve it with a few surprise spins.” – India Today Jul 14, 2015 Full Review Kick-Ass 2 (2013) 33% 2/5 EDIT “A formulaic rehash that never quite captures the maverick madness of the first film.” – India Today Jul 7, 2015 Full Review Special 26 (2013) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Special 26 is a thriller that reveals a young filmmaking brain at his creative best.” – India Today May 17, 2015 Full Review Kai Po Che! (2013) 80% 3.5/5 EDIT “The film is among Bollywood's best so far this year.” – India Today May 17, 2015 Full Review Vishwaroopam (2013) 100% 2.5/5 EDIT “Look beyond all the polish that blinds the frames besides Kamal's brilliant act, and you have here a slack thriller given to fits of confusion.” – India Today May 15, 2015 Full Review Gori Tere Pyaar Mein (2013) 36% 2/5 EDIT “The burden of a boring script is too overwhelming for [Kareena Kapoor] to leave an impact.” – India Today May 12, 2015 Full Review Talaash (2012) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Aamir's uniformed avatar, Inspector Surjan Singh Shekhawat, is a bundle of bottled angst.” – India Today May 5, 2015 Full Review Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) 94% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's the hard rock version of the desi gangster flick, pounding you with kill after kill and unapologetically over the top when the mood demands.” – India Today May 1, 2015 Full Review Singham Returns (2014) 31% 2.5/5 EDIT “Singham Returns is a Rohit Shetty film where not enough cars explode.” – India Today May 1, 2015 Full Review Barfi! (2012) 80% 3.5/5 EDIT “Barfi! is a pleasantly different film.” – India Today Apr 28, 2015 Full Review Dabangg 2 (2012) 33% 3/5 EDIT “It underlines why Salman is currently Bollywood's box-office boss.” – India Today Apr 22, 2015 Full Review Rowdy Rathore (2012) 57% EDIT “The package is sleekly filmed, cut and served.” – India Today Apr 22, 2015 Full Review As Long As I Live (2012) 90% 3/5 EDIT “Watching formula at play all over again, it somehow feels all right as a mainstream maestro plays out his swansong.” – India Today Apr 20, 2015 Full Review Ek Tha Tiger (2012) 75% 3/5 EDIT “The film is basically all about creating enough excuses to let machoman Salman bash up the baddies and romance the pretty girl.” – India Today Apr 17, 2015 Full Review Bullett Raja (2013) 25% 3.5/5 EDIT “Despite the old-school vibes, you spot a hint of Tarantino in the screenplay, especially the tone of humour that often underlines the violence.” – India Today Apr 17, 2015 Full Review
