X: Past Is Present (2015) 29% EDIT “The film is a take on the art of storytelling and filmmaking and how perspectives define the way we see things, and our assumption of them about being good or bad. ” – Hindustan Times Oct 25, 2023 Full Review Kochadaiiyaan (2014) 43% EDIT “Watch Kochadaiiyaan for the vivid motion capture technology and Rajini's tandav in the second half. But be warned, an overkill of patriotism, courage and friendship may leave you bored.” – Hindustan Times Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Waiting (2015) 71% 3.5/5 EDIT “A movie about love, life and their complexities, subtly portrayed on screen by Anu Menon, and brilliantly so.” – Hindustan Times Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Bioscopewala (2018) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Be it Danny's stunning portrayal of the titular character, Adil's ever efficient father, Brijendra's humble caretaker or Geetanjali's slightly dramatic Minnie, the actors bring to life their characters.” – Hindustan Times Mar 19, 2021 Full Review EDIT “Thalaivar Rajinikanth's much touted comeback on the silver screen, Kochadaiiyaan, is here. Is it worth the fan frenzy? Not really.” – Hindustan Times Mar 1, 2019 Full Review Firebrand (2018) 50% 3.5/5 EDIT “Netflix has come up with an Indian original where the focus is firmly on women and their place in the Indian society” – Hindustan Times Feb 28, 2019 Full Review Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015) 2/5 EDIT “KKPK establishes Kapil Sharma's acting skills beyond doubt, but he couldn't have made a worse choice. Watch the film only if you are a hopeless fan of the comedian.” – Hindustan Times Feb 9, 2019 Full Review Kill Dil (2014) 50% 2/5 EDIT “There are too many "creative escapades" in the film. Out of the blue, the actors decide to escape to deserts and seasides, mainly to make a particular song look beautiful. The songs in the movie are interruptions in the narrative.” – Hindustan Times Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Saala Khadoos (2016) 58% 2/5 EDIT “Avoid this grumpy drama if you are looking for a good sports film. If you must, watch it for Madhavan's power-packed performance.” – Hindustan Times Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) 53% 2.5/5 EDIT “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil offers little in terms of story and fails to get the audience empathise or feel for the characters and events in the movie. What it does offer is brilliance in the name of Ranbir and Anushka.” – Hindustan Times Jun 4, 2018 Full Review Veere Di Wedding (2018) 53% 2/5 EDIT “Kareena Kapoor Khan tries her best but fails to uplift this outrageous, gratingly loud and unnecessarily abusive film.” – Hindustan Times Jun 1, 2018 Full Review Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain (2013) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “A Prayer For Rain is a must-watch, for the sheer gravity of the criminal incident that remains unresolved three decades after it occurred. Also, it blames both the American and Indian sides.” – Hindustan Times May 31, 2018 Full Review High Jack (2018) 0% 1.5/5 EDIT “The film remains half baked and chaos take away the fun element. The tone-deaf jokes on transgenders, women and the elderly leave us disgusted. Since when is bad taste funny?” – Hindustan Times May 18, 2018 Full Review Wah Taj (2016) 1.5/5 EDIT “At scripting stage, Wah Taj could have been a good watch, but what we see onscreen is totally avoidable.” – Hindustan Times May 17, 2018 Full Review Ugly (2014) 60% 4.75/5 EDIT “Ugly, in one simple line, is about how we tend to lose greater things in life because we are too stuck on our own perceptions and insecurities.” – Hindustan Times May 15, 2018 Full Review Omertà (2018) 70% 3.5/5 EDIT “With crisp editing and a runtime of 97 minutes, the film never lets you lose attention and the gripping narrative style ensures you are on the edge throughout.” – Hindustan Times May 7, 2018 Full Review Daas Dev (2018) 33% 2/5 EDIT “Daas Dev could have done to Vipin's career what Newton did to Pankaj Tripathi's, if only it was a better film.” – Hindustan Times Apr 30, 2018 Full Review 2/5 EDIT “Look elsewhere for a soul-stirring piece of art.” – Hindustan Times Apr 10, 2018 Full Review Blackmail (2018) 56% 3/5 EDIT “It is refreshing to see a Bollywood movie where misogyny and lack of consent are called out, even in an all-male zone. Abhinav Deo's Blackmail offers several similar moments to cherish and celebrate.” – Hindustan Times Apr 6, 2018 Full Review Tamasha (2015) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “Both Ranbir and Deepika come across as mature performers in Tamasha.” – Hindustan Times Apr 5, 2018 Full Review Main Aur Charles (2015) 29% 2/5 EDIT “You should avoid this film at all costs: The narrative offers nothing at all and despite the good performances, badly-sketched characters leave little for the actors to do.” – Hindustan Times Mar 19, 2018 Full Review Raid (2018) 67% 2.5/5 EDIT “With a tighter editing, slightly less focus on the wannabe love story and a lesser dose of melodrama, Raid could have been a gripping thriller.” – Hindustan Times Mar 16, 2018 Full Review 3 Storeys (2018) 64% 2.5/5 EDIT “It is a film that weaves together thriller, love story, social issues, realities and life all in one package, without being too messy. The actors' brilliant performances are added bonus.” – Hindustan Times Mar 12, 2018 Full Review Dil Juunglee (2018) 0% 2/5 EDIT “Dil Junglee is an age-old story, told with a hundred stereotypes, none of which helps it. It is only Taapsee's charming presence and Saqib's earthiness that keep us entertained.” – Hindustan Times Mar 12, 2018 Full Review Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) 36% 1/5 EDIT “The one thing that worked for Pyaar Ka Punchnama films was the relatability, even if it was restricted to guys-only discussions. Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety doesn't have that, nor is it funny.” – Hindustan Times Feb 23, 2018 Full Review
