	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Review
3.5/5	No Score Yet	Khuda Ke Liye (2007)	This is a valiant effort by debutante director Mansoor; a veteran writer / director from TV and lyricist; he makes a commendable first impression. This is thankfully far removed from your typical kitsch Pak-blockbuster. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
	38%	Saawariya (2007)	Bhansali is a brilliant, visually "wow" film-maker. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
3.5/5	75%	Eklavya (2007)	Set in present day India, the film has a special resonance for today's world, beleaguered by hate and violence born from fanatical belief. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
4.5/5	83%	Guru (2007)	Mani Ratnam is a master film-maker, in fact, he's probably the best. Definitely the most revered - and India's answer to Spielberg. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
3.5/5	No Score Yet	Bluffmaster (2005)	Energetic, fruity and fast-paced, Bluffmaster delivers a punch. Not quite a knockout, but it'll go the distance. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
4/5	No Score Yet	Kurbaan (2009)	A chilling yet appropriately tempered and charismatic antidote to your archetypal seasonal fare, Kurbaan is a gripping white knuckle ride that turns at all the right places for the ultimate thrill ride. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
2/5	No Score Yet	Karam (2005)	The film is definitely innovative, but not taut enough to be a thriller, nor engaging enough to work as a drama. The sum of all its' parts producing a disappointingly average outcome. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
3.5/5	No Score Yet	Page 3 (2005)	Part social commentary, part dynamic satire - Bhandarkar's take is unrelenting and ruthless, yet thoroughly entertaining. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
3.5/5	No Score Yet	Waqt: The Race Against Time (2005)	A Bachchan movie through and through, he slaughters Akshay in their scenes together - chewing him up and spitting him out without remorse. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
2.5/5	No Score Yet	Dus (2005)	Dus has fantastic production values, and is a polished product with a certain panache, but it isn't nearly as clever as it thinks it is. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
1.5/5	No Score Yet	Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005)	The film is fun, bright, mindless, yet bubbly and to be appreciated in that vain, if at all. Recommendation: Watch anything else. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
4/5	No Score Yet	Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women (2003)	It takes tremendous nerve to produce a movie on female infanticide, especially in as astute and brutal an incarnation such as this. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
3/5	No Score Yet	Raavan (2010)	Controversial in some aspects (the God factor) but nevertheless something great for the makers to get their auteur teeth stuck into. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
1.5/5	No Score Yet	Love Aaj Kal (2009)	A valiant effort, but somewhere, somehow, lost in translation. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 30, 2017
4/5	80%	Talaash (2012)	[Aamir Khan] manages to tear up the screen every time he appears on it. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted May 5, 2015
4/5	93%	Chak de! India (2007)	This is exceptionally well written (Jaideep Sahni take a bow), well acted and put together. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted May 4, 2015
4/5	91%	Like Stars on Earth (2007)	As is usual for Khan, this movie also has a message -- not just entertaining us, but enlightening us too. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted May 2, 2015
4/5	50%	Ghajini (2008)	As [Aamir Khan] explodes with grief and then just as quickly forgets it, it's touching, emotional, and all too believable. Think amnesia on steroids, via Lee Strasberg. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 28, 2015
4.5/5	88%	Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)	This is an event movie with the biggest director and box office star coming together for one final huzzah. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Apr 20, 2015
3/5	66%	World War Z (2013)	The film works mainly on the performances of Pitt, and a strong ensemble cast that lend some credibility to a somewhat disjointed script. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 7, 2014
3.5/5	56%	Man of Steel (2013)	Despite its excessive running time, and slightly meandering narrative, Man of Steel has definitely earned its place amongst recent comic-book adaptations, standing tall in the DC / Marvel cinematic universe. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 7, 2014
4/5	79%	Saving Mr. Banks (2013)	This is an utterly captivating origin story on how the all singing, all dancing, iconic technicolour musical (with bells on) -- Mary Poppins came to be. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 7, 2014
3.5/5	79%	The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)	This is a fantastic exploration of greed, money, and a truly flawed character that spent much of the nineties on a jaw-dropping but pernicious thrill-ride. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 7, 2014
9/10	91%	Up in the Air (2009)	This is a great story well told, thanks to a deft script and brilliant performances. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 4, 2009
8/10	68%	Public Enemies (2009)	As always, no one does a bank heist quite like Mann, but as one of the most under-rated director's from the West, very few can tell a story as rich and complete as him either. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 1, 2009
4/5	79%	Luck by Chance (2009)	Luck by Chance heralds the debut of yet another Bolly star-kid. Zoya Akhtar takes the helm at this fresh, brilliantly written story on the inner machinations of the Hindi film industry. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 30, 2009
7/10	26%	Seven Pounds (2008)	The film is based on quite an audacious premise, but Smith and Muccino slowly but surely pull it off. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 19, 2008
7/10	87%	Dostana (2008)	This is a great, fun entertainer with lots of charm and great music. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 13, 2008

4/5	75%	Jodhaa Akbar (2008)	This is epic on every scale, each frame dripping with beauty. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 18, 2008
8/10	83%	In Bruges (2008)	This is funny and touching; subtle whilst incredulous, any which way -- it's clever, endearing and lots of fun. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 18, 2008
9/10	91%	Slumdog Millionaire (2008)	A moving, joyous, at times harrowing tale. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 30, 2008
4/5	76%	Om Shanti Om (2007)	If you like Bollywood for essentially what it is, you'll love this. If you don't like Bollywood, this may answer a lot of questions, and likely leave you with a smirk on your face regardless. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 24, 2007
5/10	42%	Night at the Museum (2006)	- Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Jan 6, 2007
8/10	91%	Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)	Jagmeshash!! ...to one of the funniest, un-pc and gob-smackingly audacious films to be screened this year. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Nov 4, 2006

1.5/5	58%	Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006)	The music is good, the film is not. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 23, 2006
4/5	No Score Yet	Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006)	It's interesting to see the movie try and revive Gandhian thoughts and teachings, and attempt to apply it in today's world. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Sep 23, 2006

3.5/5	100%	Krrish (2006)	Bollywood through and through, but a noble and innovative attempt at a typically alien genre. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 15, 2006
3/5	100%	Fanaa (2006)	Verdict - If you're suffering from acute insomnia, buy a ticket and slip in at the interval. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Jul 15, 2006

2.5/5	No Score Yet	Zinda (2005)	If you've seen the original, don't watch this. If you haven't seen either, watch Oldboy - this is strictly for Bolly aficionados. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 18, 2006
4.5/5	83%	Rang De Basanti (Paint it Yellow) (2006)	The performances are fantastic, and as an ensemble they compliment each other beautifully. - Future Movies UK EDIT Read More \| Posted Feb 7, 2006
