Kaminey (2009) 100% EDIT “Bhardwaj extracts memorable performances from his cast, most notably Kapur, who plays Guddu as smooth-faced and sensitive and Charlie with a darkly shadowed sense of menace. ” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 9, 2023 Full Review Student of the Year (2012) 50% EDIT “Not only is Student of the Year cinematically stale, but it's also politically dishonest.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 10, 2019 Full Review Kalank (2019) 37% EDIT “Kalank offers unexpected and welcome nuance for a mainstream Bollywood film.” – The Hollywood Reporter Apr 25, 2019 Full Review The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot (2018) 75% EDIT “The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot is a sprawling, meandering drama that doesn't quite deliver on its ambitious promise (and intriguing title).” – The Hollywood Reporter Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Sanju (2018) 41% EDIT “A glorified infomercial about the life of a Bollywood bad boy.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Singh Is Bling (2015) 45% EDIT “The alarming number of scenes objectifying, or downright insulting, female characters mark Prabhudheva as a prolific misogynist.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 27, 2018 Full Review Race 3 (2018) 13% EDIT “When you find yourself longing for the next appearance of a car, rather than the leading man, that's not a good sign.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 19, 2018 Full Review Tamasha (2015) 65% EDIT “Kapoor is beautifully cast, his trademark mix of assertive theatricality and subtle emotion well suited to the role of a man who seemingly has it all under control, until he doesn't.” – The Hollywood Reporter Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Main Tera Hero (2014) 33% EDIT “Loud, long and largely unfunny except for a few clever turns of phrase, Main Tera Hero boasts catchy songs, but is not destined to make box office history.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 19, 2018 Full Review Padmaavat (2018) 53% EDIT “Padmaavat's sumptuous palace interiors and classically inspired music lend elegance to the film without overpowering it - a welcome shift in tone from the director of the lavish but uneven Devdas and Saawariya.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jan 29, 2018 Full Review Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) 64% EDIT “An exciting music score and high-quality fight scenes go a long way toward keeping interest up during its two-hour-45-minute running time.” – The Hollywood Reporter Dec 26, 2017 Full Review Guzaarish (2010) 60% EDIT “[Guzaarish] is restrained and powerful.” – The Hollywood Reporter Dec 15, 2017 Full Review Gulaab Gang (2014) 44% EDIT “This is no arty festival film - where Gulaab Gang succeeds is in its total embrace of the Bollywood style, with all its music and deliberate artifice.” – The Hollywood Reporter Dec 14, 2017 Full Review Rockstar (2011) 83% EDIT “Rockstar is that rare popular film that captures the precise moment when music draws a man into the realm of the divine.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Tubelight (2017) 29% EDIT “A macho Bollywood star tries on the role of a developmentally disabled man-child. It doesn't end well.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jun 26, 2017 Full Review Sarkar Raj (2008) 43% EDIT “Sixty-five-year-old Amitabh Bachchan, India's vibrant and virile living legend, is riveting in nearly every film he does. But even a true fan's ardor is tested by the tedious political thriller, Sarkar Raj.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Bol Bachchan (2012) 71% EDIT “This big-budget summer release starts off awkwardly with a half-hearted music number, but once it kicks into gear, the film's engaging performances and ever-spiraling hysteria make its two-and-a-half-hour running time fly by.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 5, 2016 Full Review Phantom (2015) 23% EDIT “Dark, if satisfying.” – The Hollywood Reporter Apr 19, 2016 Full Review Fan (2016) 80% EDIT “[Director Sharma] pads out the songless film with well-executed but overlong action pieces that become even more frustrating when you consider the ways time could have been better spent exploring Aryan's fascinating backstory.” – The Hollywood Reporter Apr 18, 2016 Full Review Brothers ... Blood Against Blood (2015) 47% EDIT “Viewers willing to embrace its skillful and emotionally real depiction of a man making impossible choices -- and especially fans of Akshay Kumar ready to see him excel in a physically and emotionally challenging role -- will be well rewarded.” – The Hollywood Reporter Oct 27, 2015 Full Review Drishyam (2015) 78% EDIT “Drishyam portrays a decent man pushed to the limit by corruption, and Kamat's restrained treatment turns a story ripe for melodrama into a thoughtful depiction of an honest, upstanding family forced to commit a crime in the name of truth and honor.” – The Hollywood Reporter Aug 3, 2015 Full Review Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) 91% EDIT “Although he isn't as well known to Hindi film fans as that other famously shirtless star Salman Khan, Prabhas has a presence grand enough to transcend language.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 15, 2015 Full Review English Vinglish (2012) 83% EDIT “The image of the newly confident Shashi striding down a Manhattan street, a takeout coffee in hand and a trench coat belted over her sari, will make you smile days after you leave the theater.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 15, 2015 Full Review Shaadi Ke Side Effects (2014) 62% EDIT “The main problem with the film is in the casting of its stars.” – The Hollywood Reporter Jul 15, 2015 Full Review Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) 75% EDIT “Farhan Akhtar's intelligent performance is a highlight of the film.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 17, 2015 Full Review
