WAR is that film that is perfect for a mid-week holiday. It has enough to keep you talking about it for the next couple of days. And ladies, if you start fantastising about Hrithik Roshan once again, do not blame us. Those gleaming biceps are lustworthy and how.

Watch it for all the hysterical punches and Ayushmann Khurrana's dialoguebaazi. Not to mention, the crackling situational comedy all of the above, make the film.

Chhichhore is a film that leaves you with a huge smile on your face. It is heart-warming and introspective. You will enjoy irrespective of whether you ever lived in a hostel or not. This should be on your must watch list for September.

Mission Mangal has a lot going for it especially in terms of narrative, dialogues and performances. It captures the spirit of scientists in a relatable light-hearted manner

John Abraham is at his home territory as he portrays the role of a decorated officer and it's nothing we have not seen already. Watch it for the depiction of real life incidents and the obvious cinematic liberties. It's not really the independence day treat but makes for a one-time watch.

Watch it for Sid and Pari's dialoguebaazi and earnest effort. But otherwise, you will not miss out on much. We are going with two and a half stars. So, are you planning to watch the film this weekend? Tweet to us @bollywood_life and let us know!

Kangana Ranaut and Rajkummar Rao already sit on a commendable body of work but JudgeMentall Hai Kya has and will reserve a special place in their filmography. Watch it for their explosive screen presence and counter performance. We are going with 4 stars.

Super 30 is surely a one time watch. It is the classic story of an underdog. It tells us about the beauty of dreams and how one beautiful mind can better the lives of so many.

Kabir Singh is an ace up Shahid Kapoor's sleeve and a treat for his fans. Watch it if you want some intense romance laced up with knock-out performances.

The Accidental Prime Minister is a different film and one must laud the courage to pick up something so controversial. However, it needed better execution to make a real impact. It is a definite one time watch with its breezy narrative, superb casting and of course Akshaye Khanna who shines like a diamond. Does it redeem the image of Dr Manmohan Singh? Not as well as it was expected to...

If you loved watching movies like Border and L.O.C: Kargil, Uri: The Surgical Attack is a film for you. It will make you laugh and cry, and you'll walk out of the theatre feeling proud of the soldiers, both on and off the screen.

Anyone who has watched The Lion King, would first think of the cute little lion cub from the film when thinking of Simmba. Not anymore. Ranveer Singh is here to steal the name and also the roar. Simmba provides complete bang for your buck. But it will also make you rue all the years Rohit Shetty and Ranveer Singh have wasted without collaborating. And it will make you wish they come together again and soon. Simmba will ensure you end the year on a high. Watch it with your family and ideally in a single-screen theatre for the complete experience.

Kedarnath is a visual spectacle but could have been a better love story. However, Sara couldn't have asked for a better launch pad or a better co-star. Sushant's shy demeanor complements her over-the-top antics perfectly. Watch it for the chilling climax scene to which the whole film leads and also for Sara's spunk that is a clear indication that she is here to stay!

Aamir Khan and his team thugs you of your peace of mind in this senseless spectacle that crumbles under its own weight

For someone who does not know how espionage actually operates, Vishwaroopam 2 is fairly engaging stuff. The London portion has a bit of history infused in it, which is genuinely interesting. However, the film is flat and fails to excite as much as we hoped it would.

Diljit Dosanjh's Soorma has it's moments and the actor-singer puts in an earnest performance. You will fall in love with his extremely supportive uncle and parents. However, given the fact that Sandeep is not as widely known as some other Indian sportsmen (read cricketers), a more fleshed out story would have been far more engrossing.

If you are a Deadpool fan, you won't let our review be the deciding factor. And if you are not, you should book your tickets ASAP. It's a must watch and you won't be disappointed. For Ryan's sake and a cameo that would stun you, the movie should be definitely on your bucket list this weekend.

Omerta is not a film for the faint-hearted. The jodi of Rajkummar Rao and Hansal Mehta has again proved that they have an hunger for brave and insightful cinema.
Full review ↗TRM 6.1−0.1
Missing keeps you hooked but it is largely due to the camerawork, crisp editing and Tabu and Annu Kapoor's performance. The film is let down by bad dialogues. While Mukul has succeeded in building some truly suspenseful scenes, the film loses steam in the last 15 minutes. At the climax, you know what to expect but the treatment isn't bad. It leaves you unsatisfied thinking it could be have been a lot better.
Full review ↗TRM 3.6−0.6
Dil Juunglee lacks the intensity, which could make it rise above the mundane. The actors are in good form but that is about it. If you want to kill time and see some gorgeous visuals of London, the film should suffice.

You cannot miss this movie for the world. It's so far one of the best superhero films you must have seen. And wait till both the post credit scenes roll out.
Full review ↗TRM 7.7+0.3
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film is a visual delight and thoroughly entertaining fare, courtesy the epic performance by Ranveer Singh. It talks about Rajput pride and there is nothing that will offend anyone. At least, I couldn't find anything that can be termed offensive in anyway. And there is no dream sequence between Khilji and Padmavati.

If you like realistic cinema with some fine writing and kickass performances, Mukkabaaz will not disappoint you a bit. The biggest takeaway is that it is a courageous film that does not shy away from calling a spade a spade. Anurag Kashyap holds together the elements with finesse appealing to all cinema lovers.
Full review ↗TRM 6.9
Overall, "The Greatest Showman", is remarkably rousing and entertaining.

Firangi is a clean film but too dull and sluggish. Even Kapil Sharma cannot save the period drama though he is in decent form. We really want to see more of him on every medium but Firangi is a disservice to him.

After a disappointing Tubelight, where most of us hated to see Salman in his vulnerable, gullible avatar, the action star is back in his top form in Tiger Zinda Hai. What more? The film is more than just a r regular Salman Khan movie and it is totally worth your while.

Justice League is a much better film than Batman vs Superman and even though it's not THE superhero film of the year, we recommend you go watch it for the love of your favourite superheroes.
Full review ↗TRM 5.2+0.8
Juvenile story-telling, melodrama and an shaky lead actor does not take Haseena Parkar to the level, it was expected to. And what is the point of revisiting a female don's life if the story fails to thrill. Sorry Shraddha, Arjun's Daddy left its mark better…
Full review ↗TRM 3.6+0.4
Despite the loose ends in the script, it's Shreyas Talpade the director along with the aura and charisma of Sunny Deol, a great performance by Bobby Deol that keep the film floating and entertains you throughout. The film doesn't get preachy at all and yet delivers a message even if it's half baked. Watch it for the funny jokes and the chemistry shared between Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Shreyas Talpade. You are in for a blast.
Full review ↗TRM 5.2+1.8
Daddy is complete cinema engaging various aspects of film-making with finesse. However, the story might not resonate with the masses due to the low emotional quotient. Watch it for the good performances and stunning look into Mumbai's bygone eras. And it will be more enjoyable if you read up a bit on Arun Gawli and head to the theatres…
Full review ↗TRM 5.1
Overall, the film is an opportunity lost, despite Ajay Devgn's aura, Emraan Hashmi's charisma and Ileana D'Cruz's great performance, it's a botched up job at best.

A Gentleman is neither 'Sundar' nor 'Susheel' but turns out to be a 'Risky' affair for Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez. The film has nothing going in its favour and can be easily avoided. In plain and simple words – It's Boring.

Indu Sarkar shows an India which had to fight for freedom twice. That makes it a must watch.

The question is, Can Marvel ever go wrong? Well the answer is NO, I don't think so. They know the tips and tricks of how to play to the gallery and successfully churn out an entertaining blockbuster. What's commendable here is they have done it with a superhero who is already a hit with the fans and have been played twice before in last 15 years. Watch the film for its non-stop entertainment and humour, for Tom Holland and Michael Keaton, for MCU finally getting a good villain after Loki and…well it's MCU, you are gonna watch it, anyway. This is the Spider-Man we were waiting for all these years.
Full review ↗TRM 7.1−0.1
Yes, the humour may not match up to your expectations and it may seem a little too preachy. But if you are in the company of a young kiddo, you wouldn't have much problem with it. It's totally meant for kids.

Film may have its flaws especially in the first half but to quote Robert McKee from one of my favourite films, Adaptation, "The last act makes a film. You can have flaws, problems, but wow them in the end, and you've got a hit." Watch the film for its performances mainly by Riteish, Vivek, Vikram and Bhuvan. If you can survive through the first half, the film will surprise you and how! Watch it.

The original TV show was no Breaking Bad, but it had that iconic status because it delivered what the audience wanted then in the pre-internet era – sexy lifeguards running slo-mo on the beach. This Baywatch ends up as a painful and confused tribute to that series that no one asked for. It needed more laughs, more sexiness, and more Priyanka Chopra in order to be a passable affair, in the least. Unfortunately, it's not. Disappointing!
Full review ↗TRM 3.9−0.9
Wonder Woman 'the film' is to DCEU what Wonder Woman 'the superhero' was to Batman and Superman in the climax of Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, 'The Saviour'. The film works for its performances from its lead cast and mainly for the godly Gal Gadot. Hats off to the director Patty Jenkins for showcasing an untapped side to a superhero genre. The film will make you laugh, cheer, excited and will eventually leave a lump in your throat. If not for anything watch it just for Gal Gadot. She indeed is a 'Wonder' Woman. This one just saved the sinking ship of DCEU. Highly recommended!

In my opinion Jack Sparrow shouldn't have returned as this was an insult to his legend. After watching the film, my reaction was similar to that of Henry Turner, when he sees Sparrow for the first time – disappointed. Watch the film solely for the majestic Javier Bardem and his performance as the undead Captain Salazar. In fact it won't be wrong to call the 'lifeless' Captain Salazar, as the 'life' of the film. I give it a generous 2.5 stars, half extra for Bardem and that well executed, resounding climax.
Full review ↗TRM 4.6+0.4
Make no mistake, the film delivers as far as entertainment is concerned. Is it funnier than the first part? Yes. Is it better than the first? NO. The film double downs on everything, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, in its favour. Watch the film for its charismatic cast, for the visual master piece that it is and for the non-stop humour it provides. The film is one down from its predecessor but still provides with loads of fun and entertainment.
Full review ↗TRM 6.3−0.3
Noor has its flaws, and it certainly isn't this year's Queen, if you really want to get into comparison mode. But Noor still manages to endear to you with its light-hearted, fresh treatment and Sonakshi Sinha's winning performance, if you don't attach too many expectations.
Full review ↗TRM 5.1+0.9
The film has its fair share of drawbacks and rides mostly on the performances of its lead cast especially Raveena Tandon and Madhur Mittal's. Despite being a bumpy ride, film somehow sails through as it gives the culprits involved the poetic justice and you as a viewer and part of Vidya s journey, a satisfaction. Watch it for its performances and the story.
Full review ↗TRM 4.3
If you are a fan of the franchise, you are in for a treat. The movie is not better than the Furious 7 but still comes among the better ones of the franchise. If you are a sucker of mindless action flick, it will entertain. Watch it for over the top action scenes, Dwayne Johnson's charisma and Tyrese Gibson's scene stealer act. Despite its flaws, it is the most fun you are gonna have in theatre in recent times. The film can be best described as an entertaining mess!
Full review ↗TRM 5.7+1.3
Kong: Skull Island is perfect for viewers who love mindless creature flicks where people get killed a lot. Search for a little depth in the premise, and you will certainly face disappointment. Go, enjoy seeing Kong killing a few monsters and beating his chest like a true warrior. That alone is worth your popcorn.

This is a Varun Dhawan show from start to finish. If you are a fan of his acting talent, you are in for a treat and if you are not, you are in for a treat anyway. Watch it for Varun-Alia's chemistry and the important subject of gender equality it deals with in the garb of entertainment. This is the first true blue family entertainer of this year so far. Do not miss it.

If you are a Vishal Bhardwaj fan, let us warn you that this might not be his best, but we bet you'll see another kind of a storyteller here. And yes, he does deliver a movie that is embedded with fine performances from the cast and great visuals by cinematographer Pankaj Kumar and that makes the movie deserving of a watch despite its flaws.

Overall, if you are a sucker for those lost-and-found formula movies, executed with a more realistic approach and laced by bravura performances, Lion should be your go to film. The performances by Sunny Pawar and Dev Patel stay with you long after the film ends.

With so many serious and hard-hitting films that have come up recently, this would be a light hearted comedy to have a relaxed weekend. Apart from that, wouldn't really recommend it.

It's not a film that you must watch but if you do, you'll definitely enjoy it. It's a must watch only if you're a Jackie Chan fan.

Wajah Tum Ho is far far better than Hate Story 2 and 3. Though it is most definitely not the edge of your seat suspense thriller, it is not outrageously bad either. In India where we celebrate one time watch movies, Wajah Tum Ho can easily be your weekend indulgence. But if you are an ardent worshipper of logical plots, and near flawless films, stick to your sorts.

Dear Zindagi will definitely appeal to you if you love slice of life film. A little bit of trimming here and there would have been good, and it is not a typical Bollywood movie. However that shouldn't stop you from not witnessing one of Alia's best performances and SRK being his charming best.

I cannot watch the movie multiple times but if you are a Potterhead, you must definitely watch it once.

This film is a must watch for all the film lovers. It is one of the few Indian espionage thrillers on the India China relationship and it isn't too preachy. Go for this one and you'll be hooked for sure till the end.

Go watch it! It's everything you expect from MCU and yet it's different. I just can't wait to see Doctor Strange's banter with Tony Stark in Avengers Infinity War, oh that would be EPIC. Also do wait till end credits. An Avenger might surprise you. Just Saying!
Full review ↗TRM 6.6+1.4
While this one is clearly a Sex And The Village that many girls might enjoy, it's not gonna leave you with a feeling of elation as it's more like a chick flick for the rural audience. You might like it but it won't make you go 'woah'! After watching Pink and having high hopes for some more of hard hitting women centric films, I was very disappointed. One time watch would be enough for this film.
Full review ↗TRM 6.4−0.4
Despite several flaws, The Shallows is still a thrilling experience thanks to a few high-tension moments and Blake Lively's fantastic performance. Though not in league as Jaws, this can still qualify as the second best entry in films where shark plays an antagonist (though I admit my guilt of having enjoyed watching Deep Blue Sea more than this… My bad!).
Full review ↗TRM 6.2+0.8
The courtroom scenes are cut to cut without any unnecessary scenes about interrogations and finding the proofs, or any songs for that matter. There is not one soul in the movie that has disappointed the audience with their acting skills. All in all, this is the Movie of the Year for me. I urge you to watch it with your family and friends.

The plot is very basic. It isn't a perfect film. Budhia Singh-Born To Run is an emotional film that highlights the story of a young boy whose story has been long forgotten. It is a story that deserves to be told!

Definitely watch it for it will broaden your mind about homosexuality and how it is not a choice but just a preference people are born with. It will definitely inspire more people in India to come of the closet and embrace their true nature without shame. Do not miss this film!

While the story of Laal Rang might have faults, the performances, humour and authenticity largely makes up for it. Syed Ahmed Afzal's earlier film Youngistaan had a novel concept and so does Laal Rang. Despite hiccups, the film touches on important aspects like how money dictates life and love in today's times.

Overall, this film is like a treat to all the mothers and daughters out there. The relationship that Ashwini has captured is astounding. Every daughter can relate to this film even if they don't fall in the poor background as the film is more than that.

Though it has some bold quotient, Love Games is quite traditional at heart. Every character has a justification about why they behave in that manner. Patralekha's acting, a tight screenplay and editing are the highlights. Those who just want to pass time for a couple of hours won't be disappointed with this one.

Watch Airlift coz it tells a very important story that never got a mention in our history books. And also because the attempt to try out such subjects and storylines is applause worthy. Only if there were less songs and an editor who could tighten the length, Airlift would be soaring newer heights.

Overall, Aurangzeb is a tightly written, well researched drama that demands more mature treatment and little more complexity. A slick new-age cop drama masquerading as a big commercial film, it is among the finer dramas made in Bollywood in recent times.

On the technical front, the film has good production values. The camera work, the background score and editing are precisely noteworthy. With a couple of terrific jump scares, the film certainly has its share of actual fright, but the real terrors are in the mind. The film is worth watching for its treatment.

I admit I had more expectations from MWAS, especially after the glowing reviews it had received from almost everyone in Bollywood. But that shouldn't stop me from recommending this movie as a definite must-watch this weekend. After all, don't we always complain about the lack of quality films in Bollywood? Margarita…may not be a masterpiece, but it certainly has its straw…sorry, heart in its right place!

Nanbenda is a light-hearted comedy that provides you laughs. This is a good summer treat because it's not a heavy subject and doesn't bore you. Santhanam keeps the laughs going and the film has something for everyone – comedy, romance and little bit of action. The whistles and claps for Santhanam, Udhay and Nayanthara in the theatre prove that it's definitely worth a watch!

Bollywood has aimed to shell out several murder mysteries in the past and failed miserably. Detective Byomkesh Bakshy however is a treat to watch, especially for all Sherlock Holmes fans.

Despite these flaws, the movie is a must-watch for Sivakarthikeyan. He has excelled in the role of Mathimaran and carries the film on his shoulders. The actor is always a delight to watch on screen and this movie shows that he can play diverse roles. The movie has gotten off to a good start at the box office and this shows that Sivakarthikeyan is going to have a great 2015! It also looks like Wunderbar Productions have a winner on their hands.

It is not an everyday occurrence when a film manages to be witty, bold and classy at the same time. If you enjoy intense dark flicks, Badlapur is for you. Even if dark films are not your cup of tea, watch it for Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Varun Dhawan, who are the heart and soul of the film.

If you want to give yourself a hearty laugh, go watch this film. Take in the glitter flashed by Ram Rahim Singh's colourful clothes and sing along with him as he gives hilarious performances on Roobaroo nights. Most importantly, go watch this film to realise how fear of God can influence people. I laughed initially but now I sit back, wondering on whether we can truly ever understand the meaning of God.

Well every venture has it's pros and cons. Baby certainly has more of the former. The film is gripping, classy, sophisticated and well directed.

If you are a Vijay fan then you'll obviously love this film! But even if you are not, watch this film because it is one of the best films in Vijay's career. He has done plenty of inane masala films and deserves a pat on the back for experimenting with Kaththi. This is perhaps the first time he has done a film with a strong social message relevant to India today. And A R Murugadoss must be applauded for getting the actor into this new zone.

Mumbai 125km is a must watch for those willing to attempt suicide. If Veena Malik's skin show is all you care about, then this film is for you.

Haider is not just another movie but a brilliant cinematic experience that is beyond melodrama and unrealistic fantasies and typical Bollywood cliches. If you have an appetite for tragedy and revenge dramas, this one cannot be skipped.

Ignoring the technical errors of this film, I think Chaarfutiya Chhokare sensitively deals with the subject and should be given a chance.

Rehashing this tried and tested formula, Vikram Bhatt tries to give his latest venture a new face in the genre, but fails due to lack of imagination.

While Singham Returns is a must watch for every Rohit Shetty fan as the director dishes out a typical masala film, the ones who look for emotional connection with films may stay away from this Independence Day release. Watch it if you have nothing else to do this weekend.

Entertainment has enough jokes and one liners to keep you entertained. Watch it for Akshay, but also for the real star, his four legged companion who will steal your heart with his cuteness!

Hate Story 2 is a mix of sensuality and revenge drama weaved in a good story. So if you are a revenge saga fan, you shouldn't miss this one.

Though the film lacks the knockout punch to etch its impact on audience's memory, Amit Sahni Ki List is a refreshing take on the age old love story and definitely deserves a one time watch. Go with minimal expectations and you will not be disappointed.

If you are a die hard DDLJ fan and wish to relive the saga of the love story with a touch of modernity and zing added to it, go watch Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. Humpty and Kavya will surely win you over with their entertaining romance!

Overall, Heropanti is like any other massy entertainer. If you have no plans this weekend, then you can watch this one with your family. But don't expect much and you'll be pleased.

In a nutshell, The Xpose is nothing like the suspense films made in the '60s. The dialogues of the film is the only saving grace which are available on YouTube too, so why waste money in theatres? Himesh has done a decent job, though there is still much scope of improvement. Overall don't sulk if you miss the film. It's not worth it.

As much as I liked the film, there were a few loop holes like the pace of the film. Also in some parts the plot jumps suddenly. Though this isn't really a major problem, more precision would have certainly helped the film quite a lot. To sum it up, Hawaa Hawaai is one of the biggest examples of modern cinema and should have its rightful existence amongst a plethora of big budget films. Watch it for the thought invested in the project if not for anything else.

Ankhon Dekhi is a perfect mixture of an experimental art film and offbeat cinema, which gives you the feel of a Hrishikesh Mukherjee or a Woddy Allen film. The simplistic story and the even simple ideals of a common family have been portrayed to the best. The balance although shifts at times and makes you lose the entertainment quotient but maybe for a couple of minutes at the max. The story is meaningful and the presentation is entertaining. BollywoodLife suggests it to the cinemagoer who loves watching classy films and abhors watching the masala Hindi film.

It is impossible to not fall in love with Kangana's performance as this is possibly her best performance till date. You would be glued to your seats till the last credits roll out, which by the way have been done in The Hangover style. You will get to see the parts you missed in the film by means of photographs and video snippets at the very end. In simple terms, Kangana's acting prowess has proved that she is a 'Queen forever'!

The costumes, the characters, the cleverness, the construction of each scene…everything about this one is a treat. Yes, the dialogue if often obscure, with the high proportion of Urdu that colours it, but more is said with the eyes than with the tongue, which makes the entire film a pleasure to watch.
