2.5/5	No Score Yet	Saaho (2019)	Go for it if you're a die-hard Prabhas fan and like leave-your-brains-behind kind of action. Otherwise avoid. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 30, 2019
2.5/5	46%	47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)	What the film needed was an emotional core but you don't develop any sort of a connect with the characters. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 30, 2019
2/5	21%	The Kitchen (2019)	You feel a disconnect to the proceedings. It's a good idea not implemented properly. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 30, 2019
3/5	38%	Angel Has Fallen (2019)	In an era where bigger is better has become the rule, this mano-a-mano stuff seems refreshing indeed... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 30, 2019
3.5/5	82%	Crawl (2019)	Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper dive deep into their role to come up with realistic performances. They don't come across as mere props in a horror movie but real flesh and blood characters. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 30, 2019
3/5	78%	Mission Mangal (2019)	All-in-all, watch the film to savour a path-breaking milestone in India's space exploration history, never mind the scientific inaccuracies... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 30, 2019
4/5	85%	Once Upon a Time In Hollywood (2019)	At 164 minutes, this improbable, audacious film is quite long by Hollywood standards but you never once feel bored... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 30, 2019
3/5	71%	The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019)	All-in-all, though it doesn't quite match up to the lofty standards set by Disney, The Angry Birds Movie 2 provides silly, goofy fun and life lessons to boot. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 23, 2019
3/5	30%	Batla House (2019)	Since it's a John Abraham actioner, there is more to the film than just the courtroom drama...All-in-all, the film does try to portray how the police is pressured from all sides while dealing with high profile cases. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 19, 2019
4/5	71%	Yomeddine (2019)	This humane film may have been set in Egypt but carries a universal appeal and surely fits the bill if you're game for experiencing something fresh and different from the usual... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 19, 2019
3/5	No Score Yet	Jabariya Jodi (2019)	While Jabariya Jodi is saying all the right things, it falters in the execution. Better attention to detail would really have made a wealth of difference for the film. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 9, 2019
3/5	83%	Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019)	Isabela Moner has played the lead role with just the right amount of innocence as well as wisdom peeping out from Dora's forever positive character. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 9, 2019
3/5	No Score Yet	Khandaani Shafakhana (2019)	Where the film stumbles majorly is in the screenplay and editing. There is a lack of coherency in both the departments that kind of drags the film down. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 2, 2019
2.5/5	No Score Yet	Arjun Patiala (2019)	More was expected from the film but it just doesn't aim high enough. To cut a long story short, the ingredients are all there but the execution isn't up to mark. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 26, 2019
3.5/5	64%	Judgementall Hai Kya (2019)	The film looks like something out of French New Wave cinema in most parts but segues into commercial Hindi cinema territory as well. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 26, 2019
3.5/5	53%	The Lion King (2019)	Though the present film doesn't make that much of an emotional impact as the original film, it yet retains enough vestige of the 1994 classic for the audience to give it a try. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 19, 2019
3.5/5	100%	Noblemen (2019)	Watch the film to come to terms with a taboo subject that needs to be talked about more. Let's hope the film starts a debate about it. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 16, 2019
2.5/5	No Score Yet	One Day: Justice Delivered (2019)	The chief flaw of the film is in the writing. Characters aren't fleshed out properly. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 12, 2019
3.5/5	33%	Super 30 (2019)	Mention must be made of the dialogue here, which is witty most times and imparts some inspirational maxims as well. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 11, 2019
3.5/5	29%	Malaal (2019)	Director Mangesh Hadawale has made sure the film doesn't deviate from its roots. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 8, 2019
2.5/5	65%	Annabelle Comes Home (2019)	In a supposed horror film, the level of spookiness is rather low. Yes, there are jump cuts galore and a couple of scenes do shake you up. But all said and done, you don't actually jump out of your seat... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 28, 2019
3/5	25%	Kabir Singh (2019)	What keeps us from noticing the film's flaws outright is the power-packed performance by Shahid Kapoor. He has done an amazing physical transformation for the film. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 26, 2019
3.5/5	59%	The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir (2019)	It's Dhanush's charm and sincerity that holds the film together. He's a natural performer and makes you believe in all the implausible things that you get to see through his warm performance. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 21, 2019
3.5/5	97%	Toy Story 4 (2019)	Toy Story 4 is the most complex and the most adult film of the franchise so far. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 21, 2019
3.5/5	55%	Game Over (2019)	Watch the film for its unique take on the home invasion horror sub-genre. It's an overall well-made film and a couple of shots really spook you out for sure... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 17, 2019
2.5/5	22%	Men in Black International (2019)	All-in-all, this reboot is high on style and low on substance. It is kind of an origin story for the next set of films. Let's hope whoever directs the next installment puts more soul in the film... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 14, 2019
2.5/5	23%	Dark Phoenix (2019)	Sophie Turner tries gamely to rise above her badly defined character but it's a losing battle indeed... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 7, 2019
3/5	29%	Bharat (2019)	You leave the theatre feeling underwhelmed... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 7, 2019
2.5/5	41%	Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)	The present film makes no pretence whatsoever of touching base with reality. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted May 31, 2019
4/5	89%	Rocketman (2019)	You feel the manic energy of Elton John coming alive whenever Taron dons outlandish costumes and belts one hit number after the other. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted May 31, 2019
3/5	90%	John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)	The film has so many plots and subplots that one loses track of them. The only reason you want to make sense of them is because of Keanu Reeves, who makes you believe there is more to his character than mindless action. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted May 24, 2019
3/5	50%	A Dog's Journey (2019)	If you like watching dog videos -- and who doesn't -- then the film is right up your alley. It's destined to put a smile on your face. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted May 17, 2019
3/5	68%	Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019)	The film is aimed at children, who are definitely going to love it. And if they are generous enough to offer insights, the adults accompanying them might enjoy it as well... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted May 10, 2019
2/5	30%	The Intruder (2019)	The Intruder doesn't really scare you. The only thing that makes you sit through the film is watching Dennis Quaid taking a shot at being bad -- even if he fails spectacularly at it... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted May 10, 2019
3/5	7%	Student of the Year 2 (2019)	While the basic formula is on point, it's the ingredients that needed better handling. The writing could have been more consistent. The characters are unevenly fleshed out. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted May 10, 2019
2.5/5	No Score Yet	Blank (2019)	Given its premise, the film had the potential to be an edge-of-the-seat thriller, if only the writing and execution could have been better. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted May 3, 2019
4.5/5	94%	Avengers: Endgame (2019)	The film has Marvel bending, breaking their own rules. It's a bold move and should hopefully pay off. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 26, 2019
	38%	Kalank (2019)	All-in-all, watch it for the performances and the opulence... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 19, 2019
3/5	58%	Pet Sematary (2019)	All-in-all, Stephen King fans will probably watch the film to relish another adaptation of the master's works. Non fans will perhaps like the old-fashioned atmospheric horror that the film offers in spades... - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 12, 2019
2.5/5	No Score Yet	The Tashkent Files (2019)	The acting, thanks to the melodramatic nature of the film, is loud and over the top, the dialogue sound bombastic at times. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 12, 2019
4/5	91%	Shazam! (2019)	All-in-all, by investing in comedy, DC has pushed all the right buttons as far as this franchise is concerned. Let's hope the good run continues and Shazam! brightens up the rather dark and dreary DC Universe. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 5, 2019
3.5/5	92%	Fighting with My Family (2019)	All-in-all, Fighting With My Family makes for an all-around family film that's marked by some believable performances. Watch it even if you aren't a fan of pro wrestling. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 5, 2019
3/5	17%	Romeo Akbar Walter (2019)	Watching the film is like akin to reading a John Le Carre novel. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 5, 2019
3/5	25%	Notebook (2019)	Both the debutantes have acted their hearts out. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 29, 2019
3.5/5	93%	Us (2019)	A power-packed performance by Lupita Nyong'o, as both Adelaide and Red, is the soul of the film. The - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 29, 2019
3/5	44%	Junglee (2019)	All-in-all, Junglee is an action-packed adventure which also tells us that we share this planet with lots of different species, who have an equal right to it. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 29, 2019
3/5	47%	Dumbo (2019)	You watch the film because the baby elephant (you don't know whether it's real or created by CGI) is really cute. And the sequences where he flies do have a magical quality to them. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 29, 2019
3.5/5	91%	How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)	The animation, by DreamWorks, needless to say, is spot on. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 22, 2019
3.5/5	31%	Kesari (2019)	Akshay Kumar is verily the soul of the film. His bearing, his mannerisms are totally that of a professional soldier. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 22, 2019
3/5	79%	Photograph (2019)	All-in-all, Ritesh Batra treats us to another delightful film. - Filmfare EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 15, 2019
