It’s an entirely different beast from his previous gems Amores Perros and Babel, but it’s a film so smart, it’ll leave you giddy with pleasure.

Never overstaying its welcome, the film is short and a lot of fun. It’s worth watching for Rajkummar Rao’s excellent performance alone.

Enjoy it for the brisk action thriller that it is, and try not to think about how much better it could’ve been.

There’s a lesson in I for makers of masala movies everywhere: Big-budget commercial films don’t have to be lazy, mindless enterprises; you can bring big ideas and apply craft. I may be far from perfect, but for the most part it’s pretty entertaining stuff.

Adults will no doubt spot themes of inclusion, and a message against all the fuss over immigrants. But for the little ones this is pure unapologetic fun. It’s warm and full of affection; a film you shouldn’t miss.

American Sniper is blunt, uncomfortable, and thought-provoking. At 84, Eastwood can still play a young man’s game. Don’t miss this film.

It’s not a film with grand ambitions, but one that keeps you riveted through its drama. It’s also an indicator of Burton’s wide range.

PK sticks faithfully to Hirani’s well-oiled formula, and yet there is no question that it’s a courageous film. Packed with sharp dialogue and genuinely funny moments that offset the lack of subtlety, it is easily one of the year’s better films. The director’s best since Lage Raho Munnabhai.

There’s awe and spectacle and some nice light-hearted moments too, but it still pales in comparison to Jackson’s original LOTR trilogy. For Tolkien nuts though, understandably it marks the end of an era.

The film coasts along smoothly for the most part of its 90-minute running time, except for the flabby, repetitive middle portion in which Dulal and Ruma engage in profound conversations each time they meet. Slickly shot, capturing a real, lived-in feel of the city, this is a charming little indie that manages to say something important, while never forgetting to make you laugh. Give it a chance.
