Murder Mystery (2019) 43% EDIT “Not all bad. It’s just bad as a murder mystery. What does it say about a thriller if its best parts are not the actual murder or the clues that lead you to the killer, but the squabbling, grumbling interactions of a bored, middle-aged couple?” – Firstpost May 15, 2024 Full Review Section 375 (2019) 58% EDIT “Section 375 isn't a bad film, but furthers a dangerously toxic 'message' in the garb of being nuanced.” – Firstpost May 15, 2024 Full Review Wine Country (2019) 66% EDIT “If Wine Country was meant to help women find humour amid the humdrum of their lives, it misses the mark spectacularly.” – Firstpost May 15, 2024 Full Review Love Aaj Kal (2020) 20% EDIT “Director Imtiaz Ali isn't second time lucky with a reboot of his own 2009 romance film.” – The National (UAE) Feb 28, 2020 Full Review Panga (2020) 94% 3.5/5 EDIT “Panga can best be described as a collection of small moments - many resonate, some fall flat. And even though Panga doesn't hit all the right notes, it does a successful job of merging Bollywood's two dearly loved themes...” – The National (UAE) Feb 1, 2020 Full Review War (2019) 67% 2/5 EDIT “You get roughly 154 minutes of mildly impressive action sequences heavily inspired from the Mission Impossible films, sandwiched between a wafer thin plot that becomes incrementally bizarre as the film inches along...” – The National (UAE) Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Mission Mangal (2019) 60% EDIT “It is impossible not to enjoy a movie like Mission Mangal, given the subject matter it deals with... One only wishes the makers had dialled down the theatrics and allowed the audience to quietly revel in the moment.” – The National (UAE) Aug 23, 2019 Full Review Romeo Akbar Walter (2019) 15% 2/5 EDIT “Describing Romeo Akbar Walter as a spy thriller would be misleading, because the film offers ridiculously little by way of thrills and chills. Or expressions.” – The National (UAE) Apr 11, 2019 Full Review Photograph (2019) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Ritesh Batra's new film is meant for an audience that can appreciate love that is unhurried.” – The National (UAE) Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Luka Chuppi (2019) 29% 3/5 EDIT “Watch Luka Chuppi for a talented cast of actors stuck with a half-baked script working very hard to give you some easy giggles.” – The National (UAE) Mar 6, 2019 Full Review Fever (2016) 1/5 EDIT “Fever calls itself a thriller, but there is nothing remotely thrilling about this movie.” – The National (UAE) Dec 11, 2017 Full Review Phillauri (2017) 36% 2.5/5 EDIT “Phillauri has potential, and it has the audience's goodwill, and yet, the film manages to delight only in fragmented parts.” – The National (UAE) Mar 29, 2017 Full Review Kaabil (2017) 62% 2/5 EDIT “It is evident, early on, that Rohan and Supriya's blindness was pencilled into the script as a public relations peg in a desperate attempt to make the film somewhat relevant, because there's literally nothing else that sets it apart in any way.” – The National (UAE) Feb 1, 2017 Full Review Pink (2016) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Pink forces the audience to ask these uncomfortable questions and, despite its filmmaking flaws, this makes it a big cinematic victory.” – The National (UAE) Jan 9, 2017 Full Review Force 2 (2016) 58% 2/5 EDIT “The only other good thing there is to say about Force 2 is that it is not as bad as it could have been. If that is a movie standard you can live with, have fun.” – The National (UAE) Nov 23, 2016 Full Review Baar Baar Dekho (2016) 38% 2.5/5 EDIT “Sadly, it ends up as one more example of two attractive actors looking good and doing little of substance on screen.” – The National (UAE) Sep 14, 2016 Full Review Happy Bhag Jayegi (2016) 83% 2.5/5 EDIT “While Happy Bhag Jayegi is not bad, exactly, it still manages to frustrate with its many, many misses.” – The National (UAE) Aug 25, 2016 Full Review UNindian (2015) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “As corny as it is, watching Brett Lee imitate Salman Khan's dance moves from Kick will be a treat for cricket and Bollywood fans.” – The National (UAE) Aug 25, 2016 Full Review Rustom (2016) 45% 2/5 EDIT “Tinu Desai's much-anticipated Rustom is many things - but mostly it is a crushing disappointment for fans of Bollywood's resident patriot, Akshay Kumar.” – The National (UAE) Aug 18, 2016 Full Review Mohenjo Daro (2016) 36% 3/5 EDIT “The visuals are stunning -- which is unsurprising, given that it was directed by Ashutosh Gowariker. He clearly spends a lot of time perfecting the details -- of the film's sets, if not the story.” – The National (UAE) Aug 18, 2016 Full Review Madaari (2016) 78% 3/5 EDIT “[Khan's] pitch-perfect acting is the only thing that makes the movie work, more or less, despite a wobbly script that groans under the weight of underwritten characters, and tries to pack in too many concepts without doing full justice to any of them.” – The National (UAE) Jul 25, 2016 Full Review Sultan (2016) 69% 2/5 EDIT “If you're not a Salman Khan fan, give this Eid party a miss.” – The National (UAE) Jul 6, 2016 Full Review Psycho Raman (2016) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's a treat for those who like their movies very, very dark.” – The National (UAE) Jun 29, 2016 Full Review Udta Punjab (2016) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “Watch it, because it probably is the most important film to come out of Bollywood this year.” – The National (UAE) Jun 22, 2016 Full Review TE3N (2016) 67% 4/5 EDIT “There are plenty of twists and blind alleys to keep the audience's inner Sherlock occupied.” – The National (UAE) Jun 15, 2016 Full Review
