• In a film of many highs, the film’s real star though is Tamhane, who is in control of the proceedings from the beginning. His detailed eye and wry sense of humour only enhance the courtroom experience.

  • Even as the edgy second half engrosses you, NH10 still feels contrived as it nears the finishing line. But that’s not taking away from Sharma’s performance, which adds vigour to an average screenplay and sets aside other characters as superfluous, so much so that you don’t remember their names.

  • …one of those rare family entertainers which tick all the right boxes.

  • A lot of parts of the story seem juvenile which can’t be ignored because the scale is so large and so are the expectations. Full marks to Shankar’s vision and Vikram’s acting and that’s reason enough to watch I.

  • A feel-good, fun-tastic film, Paddington is a delight for both kids and adults.

  • It may not entirely live up to the lofty expectations one has of a Rajkumar Hirani film, but PK is still very much a Hirani film. It is a feel-good, family entertainer with a charismatic lead. It is well-meaning and amusing film, occasionally brimming with great ideas.

  • Filmistaan depends far too much on its hero to control the proceedings. The climax drags as one awaits Sunny’s fate. As a film recognising the influence of cinema, Filmistaan is engaging, but not as a kidnapping thriller.

  • Ultimately, Ankhon Dekhi’s biggest strength lies in the subtlety of its emotions. This is a profound film but it never comes across as preachy.

  • Hasee Toh Phasee is a refreshing, much-needed entry in the contemporary romcom genre, which has lately seen a series of uninspiring films. It’s largely to do with the presence of an unseen pairing with great chemistry – Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra – and Mathew and writer Harshvardhan Kulkarni’s perky take on love.

  • Dedh Ishqiya’s success can be attributed to the taut story of Darab Farooqui which is aided by Chaubey’s fine screenplay, Vishal Bhardwaj’s rib-tickling, naughty dialogues and Dr Bashir Badr’s lovely Urdu poems. Chaubey conjures a quaint, lyrical and extravagant world, which he uses to highlight the waning wealth of feudal society. The film is at its best when characters poke fun at each other.
