Calendar Girls

Lazy, simplistic and contrived, this tacky film has nothing even vaguely meaningful to say

Katti Batti

What could have been a potent statement on urban relationships turns too mushy for its own good

Hero

Foolishly cast and strangely anachronistic, this remake of the 1983 classic Hero is a travesty

Welcome Back

This inane comedy’s tapori accents, ridiculous lines and weak casting make you cringe

Phantom

Dull and jingoistic, this film has nothing but a slick ending to flaunt

Manjhi: The Mountain Man

A moving film on an unsung hero who built his lost love a ‘Taj Mahal’ in Bihar

Brothers

With its overworked plot devices, this slugfest has neither drama nor depth to offer

Drishyam

With its depiction of police brutality, this film questions the country’s criminal justice system

Masaan

Even though a Benaras in transition comes alive in this film, it isn’t all that emotionally wrenching

Bajrangi Bhaijaan

An extraordinarily eloquent film that has Salman Khan playing a worthy role instead of burnishing his brand image as an action hero
