Badla3/5
2019 · Hindi · Masala
And just like the Spanish version, Ghosh and writer Raj Vasant don't dilute the Bollywood version with song-and-dance and skip the INTERVAL altogether. At 125 minutes, 'Badla' is a thrilling watch.

Gully Boy4/5
2019 · Hindi · Masala
A man sits silently, locked in the darkness of a car as the world outside blares and glitters under the glow of the night sky and fairy lights. It's a defining moment.
2019 · Hindi · Masala
Despite wanting to know so much about Lakshmibai, the movie prefers to celebrate her unabashedly without ever throwing an insight into who she really was. So we are left googling for more information!
Why Cheat India1.5/5
2019 · Hindi · Masala
The movie shifts from one scam to another without much thought and relevance, presumably for shock-value. And it shows in its treatment.
2019 · Hindi · Masala
Director Aditya Dhar manages to launch a striking attack in his debut. Armed with the sturdy Vicky Kaushal, he unveils gun battles, one after another.
Simmba1.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Masala
It's ironical, and highly unforgivable, that a movie that attempts to empower women, doesn't even give its female characters much to do, barring handing them token lines so their Simmba can play hero.
Kedarnath2.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Masala
The narrative is unimaginatively predictable, one that Mani Ratnam had marvellously mastered in his 1995-blockbuster Bombay.
Thugs of Hindostan1.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Masala
Thugs of Hindostan is all fluff and no stuff. Had the filmmakers invested the money where it mattered this movie would've been something spectacular.
Sanju3.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Masala
At 161 minutes of screen time, Hirani manages to give Sanju a massive 'jaddoo ki jappi', like no other, and one that will surely win over many hearts. But, does that validate the misgivings of a fallen star? I don't think so.

MardaaniNo rating
2014 · Hindi · Emirates24by7
Mardaani is not in the same league as Kahaani or English Vinglish, but it still deserves applause for attempting to portray a movie minus Bollywood’s trademark frills.
KickNo rating
2014 · Hindi · Emirates24by7
Kick is a vintage Salman-Khan movie, one that unapologetically glorifies his every move, muscle and mannerism.
Ek VillainNo rating
2014 · Hindi · Emirates24by7
His movies are about never about the story but the soothing sound tracks and little-known actors and plots that are referenced from Hollywood. Ek Villian is all that, and more. It’s a classic case of bad casting.
HumshakalsNo rating
