…a Vidhu Vinod Chopra Bollywood film with Hollywood actors and settings. It is grim, dark, violent and sporadically powerful, yet too sentimental and emotionally manipulative for its own good.

Furious 7 is an action spectacle that is as outrageous as it is entertaining. So exciting and fun you could end up bursting your appendix, it has flying cars and drones and deadly villains and everything else you could possibly need from a movie this weekend.

…a thrilling murder mystery that leaves you awestruck and giddy with pleasure. A scrumptious delight of a film that has the repeat viewing value of a classic, missing it would be a crime only Byomkesh could solve.

Run All Night is part Taken, part A Walk Among The Tombstones, and total fun. Stylish, thrilling and satisfying, it is Liam Neeson’s best action film in some time.

Cinderella is a charming, sweeping, luscious yet grounded film that stays true to the original material, yet brings something new to the table. It’s a nostalgic piece of cinema that warrants a watch for its simplistic innocence and visual splendor.

NH10 is a dark and wild ride into the lawless small town and villages of India, with plenty of thrills and gory action. Not meant for the fainthearted and tailor-made for cinema aficionados, Hindi cinema in 2015 hits a new high this weekend.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha is an anomaly of a film that chooses to tell an intimate story in the most grounded manner, all the while shaming us into accepting what a misogynistic and materialistic world we live in. It provokes thought and discussion, but never at the cost of entertainment. Sharat Katariya, take a bow. This is one piece of inspired writing and filmmaking that needs to be seen to be believed.

Badlapur is an intense and captivating cinematic experience for those bored of the typical Bollywood shtick and looking for something refreshingly different. It also marks a scintillating return to form for director Sriram Raghavan. Sure, it may not stand the test of time and repeat viewings as his Ek Hasina Thi and Johnny Gaddaar have, but even a sub-100% Sriram Raghavan is a brilliant Sriram Raghavan. You’d be remiss not catching this film at a nearby theater this weekend.

In Whiplash, you get a film that is by far the most interesting and exciting musical in recent memory. You get a film that you’d be a fool to miss, a mistake for which you’d deserve to be stranded alone with music instructor Terrence Fletcher in a room for a day.

The film has its fair share of flaws, but that doesn’t overshadow its unique concept and ingenious narrative style. Aided by good performances, catchy music and an impressive debut for writer-director Vikramjit Singh, Roy is a great choice for Valentine’s Day weekend.
