Pink review by Anupama Chopra: A tale of true grit, grippingly told

Baar Baar Dekho review by Anupama Chopra: Stuck in a loop

This is a desperately flawed film, but parts of it hold out a promise of greater things from Nitya Mehra.

Akira review by Anupama Chopra: Hits and misses

The curse of the second half strikes so badly in this film that it almost completely negates the first half, which is effective.

A Flying Jatt review by Anupama Chopra: A turbulent ride

This could have been an entertaining, if cartoonish, film. Instead, it is just an incoherent slog.

UnIndian review by Anupama Chopra: This one’s a messy stew

The good news about UnIndian is that Brett Lee is affable and natural in front of the camera. The film’s problem are its long list of clichés.

Mohenjo Daro review by Anupama Chopra: An unintentional comedy

The vision deserves applause but Ashutosh Gowariker has been utterly let down by his own writing.

Rustom review by Anupama Chopra: Shots misfired

Rustom has flashes of power, but they peter out quickly.

Budhia Singh - Born to Run review by Anupama Chopra: Here a plod, there a sprint

The film doesn’t take sides and its anguish is authentic, which makes this one worth your time.

Dishoom review by Anupama Chopra: Slick, seductive, disposable entertainment

The first half of the film is gripping and entertaining, but the script gets sloppy as it progresses

Madaari review by Anupama Chopra: Irrfan weaves a spell

The actor breathes life into a cliché – the common man who suffers a gross injustice and rises up against the system

Great Grand Masti review: In a word, insufferable

It’s crass. It’s cringe-worthy. This might just be the most unwatchable Bollywood film of the year.

Sultan review by Anupama Chopra: This is an over-sized Salman slam

Sultan is an overwrought, overblown, over-stretched sports saga. When it ended, I had moist eyes and a big grin on my face. In wrestling terms, it’s an over-sized Salman slam.

A super-sized Salman slam

Fireflies in the Abyss: A moving descent into darkness

If you are looking for a cheerful or uplifting movie experience, this isn’t it. But Chandrasekhar Reddy’s documentary on India’s illegal coal mines effectively takes you into a world few of us know

TE3N review: A tale of a trail gone cool

Apart from the inventive rendering of the title, little feels fresh or original

Housefull 3 review by Anupama Chopra: The joke’s on them

The film is racist, sexist and willfully rude about the differently abled. But the worst sin, in my book, is that it’s just not funny

Phobia review: The film rides on the blazing talent of Radhika Apte

Phobia is satisfying and fun — both words you don’t get to use often with Hindi horror films.

Sarbjit review: It’s got its heart in the right place

Film is structurally clumsy and overtly high-pitched but also strongly enacted and genuinely moving

Anupama Chopra gives us a lowdown from all that happened at the first day of the 69’th Cannes Film Festival.

One Night Stand review by Anupama Chopra: It doesn’t offer much

Despite the cheesy title, the film has some interesting ideas. The bad news is that the talent both in front of the camera and behind it simply isn’t mature enough to handle them

Baaghi review by Anupama Chopra: Only Tiger makes it palatable

The characters have all the depth of stick figures so it’s best to focus on the action sequences, which are beautifully choreographed

Nil Battey Sannata review by Anupama Chopra: Happy endings all around

It’s a sweet, sanitised and somewhat simplistic story that debutant director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari tells with a light touch and a lot of heart.

Fan review by Anupama Chopra: An actor reclaims his stage

Gaurav comes from a middle-class, ‘mamooli’ home too. His entire life is centered on his love for Aryan.

Love Games review by Anupama Chopra: Not just sex, films are messy too

Have I just made this film sound somewhat intriguing? It’s not. It’s excruciating. Though I will admit that the dialogue is the stuff of pure comedy.

Ki & Ka review by Anupama Chopra: Kareena and Arjun in a bumpy ride

Ki & Ka review: R Balki gives us a heroine named Kia (Kareena) who is unapologetically ambitious, and a hero named Kabir (Arjun) whose most cherished ambition is to be like his late mother, who was a homemaker.

Rocky Handsome review by Anupama Chopra: Not as good as the original

The film is an almost frame-by-frame remake of the 2010 Korean blockbuster, The Man from Nowhere.

An emotional high
