| 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

| 3.5/5 | 86% | 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

| 4.5/5 | 91% | 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

| 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

| 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

| 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

| 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

| 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

| 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

| 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

| 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

| 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

As is usual for Khan, this movie also has a message -- not just entertaining us, but enlightening us too.‐ Future Movies UK

| 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

| 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

| 3.5/5 | 55% | 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

| 3.5/5 | 78% | 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

| 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
