110 reviews of Indian films, average rating 2.6/5.
'Ishq Forever' fails to create an impact and even lacks the emotions one would normally connect with.
Read the full review'Running Shaadi' can be seen over this weekend as the film will be a perfect outing with your entire family.
Read the full reviewThe film is a torturous endorsement of IIFA. The only question popping up in your mind is, 'What is it?' Is it a film or a fancy documentary on IIFA Awards in New York.
Read the full reviewBhavesh Joshi is more or less like India's Justice League goes haywire. It is enjoyable in parts but you won't lose out on anything if you miss this one, rather watch any superhero flick from DC or Marvel.
Read the full reviewIf you are religious and want to know its hidden harsh realities, then go watch 'Global Baba' this weekend. But if you are expecting a fancy film like 'PK' or 'Oh My God', then it may disappoint you.

Read the full reviewThe film doesn't look preachy at all; rather the issue of no toilet is shown in a quirky way. The USP of the film is its dialogues, which are written well.
Read the full reviewShubh Mangal Saavdhan isn't a sex comedy but a complete family entertainer. The film not only has a beautiful message but also an ability to tickle one's funny bone for a good 105 minutes.
Read the full reviewWith a predictable ending, the Saif Ali Khan starrer is certainly an interesting watch with a fashioned feel to it.
Read the full reviewI feel pity on such filmmakers, who make film with such conviction and everything goes for a toss just because the film doesn't have any big face and better distribution.
Read the full review'Running Shaadi' can be seen over this weekend as the film will be a perfect outing with your entire family.
Read the full review'Chauranga' is a hard-hitting subject that is engaging enough till its climax.
Read the full review'Loveshhuda' should have been titled, 'Daarushhuda'. First half is with mixed with water and soda but second half is just about having neat pegs. I recommend that you carry a strip of disprin atleast for the second half.
Read the full reviewThe only good thing about Sanam Re is that it is a 120-minute movie. And… if you thought this is how a love story is suppose to be, trust me on this one, you wouldn't want to watch anymore love stories.
Read the full review'Love Games' is a watchable one if you have nothing to do this weekend or simply if you don't get the tickets for 'The Jungle Book'.
Read the full review'Buddha In A Traffic Jam' is mostly in English which might be a problem for the producer. But it is certainly a one-time watch.
Read the full reviewIf you are willing to watch a sensible film with soul, 'Waiting' is definitely a good pick this weekend!
Read the full reviewThough the film has a few scary scenes, it ends up being a clichéd love story instead of a horror flick. The music by Jeet Ganguly, Sangeet and Sidharthy Haldipur is melodious, especially the title track.
Read the full reviewRaman Raghav 2.0 has only good performances to watch else the film is surely not worth your ticket price.
Read the full review'7 Hours To Go' is not a good pick unless you want to witness a murder mystery of 114 minutes and wouldn't mind leaving the theatre with a muddled head.
Read the full reviewWhat starts off as a cringe fest initially graduates to be repelling over the course of the film. Of course it's not the best way to spend this weekend!
Read the full reviewKids might like the film considering it's a superhero flick, but 'A Flying Jatt' doesn't fly and sinks without a trace.
Read the full reviewAkira is a great effort by director A R Murgadoss. Watch it for its layered mystery and Sonakshi Sinha's finest performance by far!
Read the full reviewEven though Nawaz performs well in 'Freaky Ali', the film is surely not worth the ticket price. Since Baar Baar Dekho also released this Friday, pick this only if you are an ardent Nawazuddin Siddiqui fan.
Read the full review'Banjo' is a light-hearted entertainer which is just like any other music based film. Looks like, the filmmaker was trying hard to match up to the standards set by 'Rock On' but fails to do so.
Read the full review'Mirzya' is a flop show in totality. I wouldn't recommend it even to art film lovers, rather catch a nice play over the weekend.
Read the full reviewEven though the filmmaker tried hard to match up to the standards set by Abhishek Kapoor in 'Rock On', he unfortunately failed in his attempt.
Read the full reviewDear Zindagi is definitely a one time watch this weekend but enter the theatre at your own risk since the journey of Kiara may hit you or it may pass by without even moving you.
Read the full reviewKahaani 2 is definitely below expectations, and will only excite you if you're a Vidya Balan fan.
Read the full reviewThe only good thing about it is its melodious music, good-looking actors and their fair performances.
Read the full review'OK Jaanu' is a light-hearted film but there is nothing extraordinary about it.
Read the full review'Jolly LLB 2' should definitely be on your to-do list for the weekend. The film might not satisfy you as much as the first one might have, but you surely won't come out disappointed out of the theatres.
Read the full reviewWatch 'Begum Jaan' for Vidya Balan's impressive performance but don't expect it to be a masterpiece!
Read the full reviewSarkar 3 is an avoidable affair this weekend. Make your and everyone else's weekend by getting RGV banned from making a highly plausible Sarkar 4.
Read the full reviewOverall, it is a good watch, but at the end, it's a documentary which is a compilation of his real-life footages. The idea of promoting it as a film is a little weird.
Read the full reviewTiger Shroff's fans might like the film but it doesn't fly and sinks without a trace.
Read the full reviewOn the whole, Raag Desh is an average film with an untold factual story. The film could have been much better plus in the era of commercial films, Raag Desh is a niche in its own genre.
Read the full review...it is nowhere close to an Imtiaz Ali film. Watch it only if you are an SRK fan or you want to see Europe for the worth of your ticket price.
Read the full reviewBareilly Ki Barfi is purely a one time watch which has a few odd hilarious dialogues and some great performances but no storyline to it. It is certainly a light hearted film which is not as good as it promised to be.
Read the full reviewBabumoshai Bandookbaaz has only good performances to watch else the film is surely not worth your ticket price.
Read the full reviewThe action drama definitely has an interesting premise, but execution of the plot turns out to be the big hurdle.
Read the full reviewThe film can be watched to lighten your mood this weekend but be ready for a social awakening in the end.
Read the full reviewThe highpoint of Bhoomi is that the plot of the film is very okay but it has a massy appeal to it. The film might not bore you but it is certainly not one of the most interesting revenge sagas made in recent times.
Read the full reviewChick flick, road trip drama, slice of life, this Richa Chadha-Kalki Koechlin starrer is anything but any of these.
Read the full reviewIf you have enough time in your busy schedule, then watch Firangi, or else avoid and sit back at home with munchies and drinks to watch Lagaan instead.
Read the full reviewThe film funnily takes you back to the first Fukrey with few moments which are refreshing to watch. However, the twist in this one could have been executed in a better way, but it won't disappoint you either.
Read the full reviewThis Saif Ali Khan starrer is not a masterpiece to be kept in the Oscars library, but it is f****** contemporary.
Read the full reviewThough Mukkabaaz is not as dark as his genre, the overall treatment is edgy and thrilling alongside the universal appeal. The film is definitely a milder version of the director, but there is not a dull moment in the movie either.
Read the full reviewHardcore Anurag Kashyap fans may be a bit disappointed with its happy ending and moreover, less of blood bath unlike his films.
Read the full reviewFor a film like 'Aiyaary', there is no scope for any music because of its plot but the film could have been better paced, all thanks to the under-cooked narrative.
Read the full reviewIt could be easily be called as the third instalment of Punchnama series, but bromance brewing in it makes it a good watch this weekend.
Read the full reviewPari is a delightful treat and it is advised that people with weak hearts should enter the theatre at their own risks.
Read the full reviewWith no other releases this Friday, Raid is a clear winner. A seat edge drama with brilliant dialogues makes it a praiseworthy film.
Read the full review102 Not Out is a light hearted family drama for a perfect weekend. Go, spot this one and celebrate life!
Read the full reviewThis flick is just another Friday release, which can easily be checked off from your weekend bucket list.
Read the full review'Madaari' is certainly an eye-opener for those who want to be a part of social awakening in our society.
Read the full review'Rough Book' is an off beat recipe with commercial ingredients but will surely make you recall films like 'Paathshaala', 'Faltu' and 'Aarakshan'.
Read the full reviewIt doesn't help, however, that the movie is clichéd. Telling a story of 2016 BCE in the present day can be problematic if it's not made well, and that's Mohenjo Daro's downfall.
Read the full reviewDirector Mudassar Aziz has handled a complex issue with so much conviction, given considering a cross border run-com theme.
Read the full reviewRangoon is definitely not avoidable but it is certainly not a Vishal Bhardwaj masterpiece.
Read the full reviewBadrinath Ki Dulhania is a one time watch which has humour, social message, good looking actors and high degrees of emotions.
Read the full reviewTrapped breaks the barrier for winning hearts with its content. It is so difficult for the reviewer to find a flaw. Overall, Trapped is a brilliant film with a crisp narrative that will keep you glued till the last frame.
Read the full reviewPhillauri is a perfect watch this weekend which makes you laugh and cry, also redefining romance on celluloid.
Read the full reviewThe film could have been better paced, all thanks to the under-cooked narrative. Naam Shabana is a throw away effort from director Shivam Nair and producer Neeraj Pandey, where the only saving grace is Taapsee's act.
Read the full reviewWhen a film doesn't have a plot or even fair performances, no one can save it from sinking. LKSMLD is like any other love triangle story and seems more like a holiday trip for the film's team.
Read the full reviewMeri Pyaari Bindu is watchable but don't expect the quintessential Bollywood romance. If you are into slow paced films, this one might excite you.
Read the full review'Half Girlfriend' is too bad a film for human eyes. Unless, of course, you still like to watch love that is not only mushy, but also cringe-worthy, all at once. The film is definitely not worth your ticket price.
Read the full reviewA major disappointment only because it is unlike a Kabir Khan film, else Salman Khan is usually unnoticeable.
Read the full reviewThe plot is so engaging that you wouldn't even mind a poker-faced Katrina tagging around with Ranbir, who completely steals the show.
Read the full reviewLipstick Under My Burkha is surely a brave attempt by the makers, but going by the promos, don't expect it to be an intense drama of women's misery. The film touches upon serious issues but with a humorous flair.
Read the full reviewA Gentleman is definitely an entertaining film which has its own set of loopholes but they can be easily overlooked. Watch it this weekend for a fun and an edgy film.
Read the full reviewIf you like slow and dark crime dramas then Daddy is certainly for you but if you seeking a pacy period thriller, then you will be highly disappointed. Daddy is nothing but one of the boring chapters of a history book.
Read the full reviewSimran is not a bad film but having no coherence of its genre, it might fall. It is certainly a one time watch.
Read the full reviewLucknow Central is a riveting tale of prisoners with an interesting premise and some sparkling performances but similarities with Qaidi Band will surely affect the film in every possible way.
Read the full reviewQarib Qarib Singlle is funny and vibrant with not a dull moment except for one or two. Watch it for a clean old school romance.
Read the full reviewKriti Kharbanda looks cute and pretty as small town girl. Her dialect is commendable, but again the script is so clumsy that she seems to overact in few scenes.
Read the full reviewTumhari Sulu is a slice of a life film which is worth your ticket price. It is engaging and has a massive social message. Don't miss this riveting tale of a middle class housewife cum radio jockey.
Read the full reviewThe film is a torturous endorsement of IIFA. The only question popping up in your mind is, ‘What is it?’ Is it a film or a fancy documentary on IIFA Awards in New York.
Read the full reviewBTC is certainly not a masterpiece of Majid Majidi. It is just another regular story of orphan siblings and their problematic lives. Avoid the pace and plot, the film is high on emotions.
Read the full reviewRaazi celebrates the spy-thriller genre and proves good content prevails. Perhaps, a lot of aspects make this film unapologetically finest of 2018 so far.
Read the full reviewVDW is an easy, breezy, one-time watch. If you are a fan of happy and convenient endings, then this popcorn entertainment is your dose for the weekend.
Read the full reviewThe Shashank Khaitan directorial might be a much anticipated film of the season, but it is nothing more than a launchpad for two star kids.
Read the full reviewHate Story 3 has so many twists that after a while you start recollecting Abbas Mustan's hit multi-starer thriller Race. Director Vishal Pandya's story is complex but the way it is narrated is laughable.
Read the full reviewThe film's 'chill factor' rests on the shoulders of Radhika Apte, who's expressions are flawless and tends to leave the audience wide-eyed and in awe of her performance.
Read the full reviewThe highpoint of 'Kaabil' is that, the plot of the film is very okay but the screenplay is intelligently played out. The film won't bore you even for a second. 'Kaabil' is overwhelming, magical and a feel good film.
Read the full review‘Raees’ is certainly a one time watch but don’t expect the unexpected at all. If you are seeking a plot with enough twists then you will be disappointed.
Read the full reviewThe Ghazi Attack is an interesting choice for this weekend unless you aren't willing to watch a patriotic film which the makers haven't projected it as at all.
Read the full review'Hindi Medium' is not a film, it is an experience! The film might come across as a children's film but it is recommended to each and every strata of society. A must watch!
Read the full reviewAlthough the production of the film makes it look grand and fancy, the climax is too dramatic for such an intense film.
Read the full reviewGuest Iin London is avoidable but if in case you don't get tickets for Mom, you can dare to watch this one but be ready to experience unsolicited farts for 138 minutes.
Read the full reviewThe film doesn't look preachy at all; rather the issue of no toilet is shown in a quirky way. The USP of the film is its dialogues, which are written well.
Read the full reviewYou might leave the theatres enlightened but the only thing you'll take away home is Rajkummar Rao's finesse.
Read the full review'Tiger Zinda Hai' won't disappoint you. After 'Sultan', Salman Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar pack a solid punch yet again. Especially, when there were no big releases for past three weeks, TZH can be worth watching this festive season.
Read the full reviewPadMan is watchable for its exceptional subject. Don't expect it to be a fancy commercial film but is definitely high on emotions.
Read the full reviewThis story of acceptance in the world of intolerance is a decent watch, but don't expect an extraordinary plot.
Read the full reviewIf you are looking for an unusual story of an unsung hero, go and watch Soorma. Promise, it's not a glorification of an Indian sportsman on silver screen.
Read the full review'Uunchai' a heartwarming tale of friendship, values and everything possible you expect from a bonafide Rajshri film.
Read the full reviewGulmohar is an easy-breezy family drama you can savour this weekend but don’t expect anything extraordinary.
Read the full reviewKathal is absolutely not an avoidable film but certainly a below-average one for sure. Unfortunately, it is far from a perfect example of a modern-day social satire.
Read the full reviewMaidaan might be a decent Eid feast but still had scope to be a lot better than what it is, especially the first half
Read the full review'Rocketry: The Nambi Effect' showcases the journey Indian scientist Nambi Narayanan, which is a perfect mix of drama and triumph over odds.
Read the full reviewThe amount of brunt the film faced all this while made it slightly a better watch as compared.
Read the full reviewJersey Review: Shahid Kapoor's Hindi remake is a bittersweet tearjerker
Read the full review'JugJugg Jeeyo' Review: This Anil Kapoor-Neetu Kapoor and Varun Dhawan-Kiara Advani-starrer is a wholesome entertainer
Read the full review'Sultan' is the best feast on this Eid. The film is recommended not only to Salman Khan's fans but also to the family audience who were awaiting a family drama high on emotions, just like YRF style.
Read the full reviewWith a runtime of 161 minutes, the film is engaging and enjoyable but the film definitely tries to clear the image of Sanjay Dutt.
Read the full review'Radhe Shyam' Review: Music is the saving grace in this sinking ship
Read the full reviewDrishyam 2 ticks almost every box on the checklist of a Bollywood film lover and makes it a great watch for massy cinephiles
Read the full reviewAway from the picking political sides or even having his own ideology in place, Aditya sheds light on what had happened and that’s like cherry on top
Read the full reviewOverall, Ranchi Diaries is a case of a nervous breakdown or even a psychological disorder. Enter the theatres at your own risk or else skip this weekend and wait for Diwali releases rather. Stay healthy and avoid Ranchi Diaries!
