Madras Cafe poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

The film tells a story we already knew. Yet it scores because of the way Sircar maintains intrigue, teasing viewers with regular twists. Irresistible stuff if you love brain work in your movies.

Chennai Express poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

He always had the lung power. This time Shah Rukh Khan, in a bid to prove he still remains at the top of his game, is out gunning to score with lungi power.

Bajatey Raho poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

Not much the cast can do to salvage this one. Bajatey Raho would be your option this weekend only if you consider there is no other major Hindi release.

Raanjhanaa poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

Raanjhanaa harks back to the way Bollywood used to make love stories once upon a time. With some imagination, the effect would have been nostalgic, too.

Fukrey poster
Fukrey2.5/5

2013 · Hindi · India Today

Fukrey caters the standard package of bromance that has been hot among Bolly buffs. It looked wild in the promos. Not the same can be said of the film itself.

Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

The Deols thunder, the PYTs preen, the action is good and the comedy lame. Two extras in orangutan suits get to shake their booty to Sheila ki jawaani. The next level of Bollywood item dancing obviously, after Sunny Leone.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

A slightly more mature Ayan as storyteller, and technically his craft is a few notches higher too. Yet just like Bunny, Ayan's cinematic idiom still seems trapped in a happy-go-lucky teenage universe.

Ishkq in Paris poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

It was almost as if Preity Zinta had made the film in her heydays - the last decade - and brought it out of cold storage only now.

Aurangzeb poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

The classic second-half gaffe. You have a cracker of an idea, the build up is great too, and then gross lack of imagination turns everything into a mangled mess post interval.

Gippi poster
Gippi2.5/5

2013 · Hindi · India Today

Riya Vij is spontaneous as Gippi. The mom-daughter chemistry between Riya and Divya Dutta is natural, too. But the film could have done with some solid writing, notably in the second half.

Go Goa Gone poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

Go Goa Gone is your film if you like your humour with a dash of black. The sexy beaches of Goa will perhaps never be the same again on the Bollywood screen.

Bombay Talkies poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

Bombay Talkies lets us celebrate ourselves as viewers. It leaves a warm afterglow reminding us that cinema in India flourished thanks to its audience.

Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

A satire is made or busted by its writing. Rupesh Thapliyal and Vijay Manral’s script struggles to balance humour and comment as Puttan and his family get entangled in a new set of woes.

Kai Po Che! poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

We are looking at New Bollywood, evolving exactly as it should. Stirringly topical, solid in the comment it leaves, and yet never losing focus on the classic entertainment formula that has forever driven our commercial cinema.

Special 26 poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

In his new film, Pandey is out tormenting the high and mighty who thrive on black money.

Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola poster

2013 · Hindi · India Today

But the film crumbles in the climax, giving you an end that is too filmy for satisfaction. The end is one that bars Vishal's latest from becoming an exceptional effort.

B.A. Pass poster

2012 · Hindi · India Today

It's not quite popcorn & cola stuff but if you are forever hungering for cinema of a different taste, check this one out.
